Default Can anyone recommend a good shop for TSB and maintenance?

Hi guys...just wondering whether anyone here can recommend a reputable shop to take care of certain TSBs without the BS...also when it comes to certain maintenance issues such as differential or clutch fluid replacement ets...thanks!

Honda of Santa monica is great! They love to work on cars and gladly work on fixed up s2k's. I was very surprised at thier attitude toward working on a fixed up car.

I used to go to Santa Monica, but they started hassling me about things and actually misdiagnosed a problem was having with my clutch. I took my car to Weseloh Honda way down in San Juan Capistrano on the suggestion of many people on the board. I couldn't be any happier with the service I got from them. Even though they are far away, they are definitely worth taking the car to.

Santa Monica was hassling me about a bad clutch that I had to replace with less than 15K miles on the car. They actually misdiagnosed the problem. With the help of Woodwork (one of the members on this board), I was able to get Weseloh to diagnose it correctly. They ended up replacing my clutch under warranty. Santa Monica would've charged me close to $1000 to have the clutch replaced. Also, the customer service at Santa Monica isn't as good as what you get at Weseloh. I think Weseloh has worked on more S2000's than any other dealer. They have a ton of experience with the car. That's why a lot of the members here go there.
