Default South Bay dealers for service?

Hi, all. I've seen the many postings about the marvels of Menlo Honda, but has anyone had any dealings with the South Bay dealers?

I'm thinking specifically of Capitol Honda in San Jose, Larry Hopkins Honda in Sunnyvale and Los Gatos Honda in Los Gatos. (I guess there's Stevens Creek Honda, too, but their salespeople are so arrogant I wouldn't even consider them for service.)

Any experiences to share? Good, bad, indifferent?

I bought my Honda in Oakland but live in the South Bay. I sure don't want to drive up to Menlo if I don't have to.

I suggest you to drive up to Menlo. I just went there 3 weeks ago (7500 mile service). I am satisfied with the service.

Yeah, but I work down in San Jose. It would be a major drag to have to hitch a ride back and forth.

Menlo can't be the only decent shop in the Bay Area.....

I drove from Alameda (Oakland) to Menlo, just to get it done. Schedule a Saturday appointment, it only takes 1hr to get the service done.

Go to Hopkins Honda in Sunnyvale. Talk to Steve Spears (Service Advisor) or George Lourgren (Service Director) ONLY. Tell him Kelvin sent you and they'll take care of you btw, free loaner too.

it took them 2 days to figure out the little button on my cd changer was switched to the other side (it was skipping like crazy because that switch was supposed to be set according to how you mount the changer)... hahaha they even ordered a new changer cuz they thought the one that i had was a defect or something....

and you might wanna ask S2KHardTop about his experience at Capitol...

I have used LG HONDA quite a bit. They are good. I usually talk to Sue or Chris. Of course Menlo would be my first choice but since you are in LG you might want to try them (LG HONDA).
