Do it yourself! You save money, and get to know your car more in the process.. You can take it to a dealership, the tale says they have shitty service, but it's the attitude and who you deal with, that makes an experience positive or negative.. Remember they have liabilities too, so they don't plan on fu*king up your car.. My recommended dealer would be Galpin Honda, speak to service writer Noe, and S2000 tech Miguel, tell them Rommel Estrada w/the Black S2000 sent you.. I've been in the car business for 11 years, and have witnessed many dealers and their services, they are all good to some comparisons, but I guarantee that these guys will treat you the best!! Good luck. Galpin Honda 818-837-6100 or 800-451-7118 ask for Noe Herrera

Colonial Honda sucks. The owner's wife, formerly Colonial's leasing manager, is our friend. She was his second wife. She put me into a Prelude lease and my wife into a Passport lease. The owner died and the family conspired to screw her out of her ownership in the lease. She ended up with nothing but the house she was living in. Then Colonial tried to screw my wife out of thousands of dollars to close out her lease. (It didn't work.)

I've had good expierence with Honda of Pasadena.

Although they always offer my wife a car wash for her civic, but when I take it in I have to ask for the car wash. She must be using her powers of persuation (or wearing one of those short skirts).

So have I. I was there for an oil change today. I was in and out in 20 minutes. Service writers Andrew Pastoral and Ed Perez are both nice guys. I once locked my keys in my trunk at the gym on a Saturday. I called Ed and he made a computer-generated key for my trunk only and brought it to me.

Oil change are DIY for me. Spirit honda in El Monte off the 10 are also good. had good service from them. last week I had my soft top replace and they did it quick and service was great. Ask for Gabriel and tell him Jimmy w/ the white S2000 sent you.

Andrew. That was his name. He is really cool. And they have a mechanic, I think his name was Chris, who works on the S's there.

But Andrew is the man in the service dept.
