Default Need reccomendations for Honda service location....

I have a clicking/cracking sound coming from my rear right axle ! What Honda dealership should I take it to for the warranty work? Somewhere in the valley would be nice... Right now I have an appointment at Keyes Woodland Hills Honda. Anyone with experience from them?

I asked something like that in the other board the other day, people recommend Weseloh Honda in San Juan Capistrano.

that may be a little far from you, but for what I heard, many people in Team Irvine serive their car there. Also ask Tony in service dept.

I will visit there soon after my factory front spoiler arrive.

Hi DJ -

There's an S2K-experienced mechanic at Thousand Oaks Honda named Jeremy. I spent quite a bit of time talking to him last week in anticipation of getting TSB 054 and 055 done (the decel rattle and the 2nd gear grind). He used to work at Oxnard and is recommended by at least one other S2K owner from Camarillo. I have had good luck with TO Honda doing service on my Accord (nice, honest, fast, reasonable prices, no damage to my car, etc.) Jeremy just did a CV boot replacement on the Accord.

Don't expect the service writers to treat you better because you're an s2k owner, but I think this mechanic knows his stuff. Some board members have been pretty mad at TO Honda because they insist on duplicating the problems before they'll do the TSBs, but my experience overall has been good for the last 7 years.

Last time I was in there with the Accord, I worked with Brad Steinberg at 805-371-5519. They have changed the oil on the S2000 about 3 times now and no complaints.

PM me if you want more info.

Santa Monica Honda has a great service dept. (sales is another story). I actually had that rear clicking a few months ago and they fixed it. I haven't had any problems since.

Hey, regarding the deceleration rattle, I noticed that the other day. I thought I was just looking for things to go wrong. But I guess this really is a problem. Hmmm, where should I go for this?

Art - I service my car there. I have had nothing but good service from them. When I had my 7500 mile service they charged me $89.95 (which is kinda high). A got a coupon in the mail a week later from another dealer for $30 less, so I was kinda pissed. I called and they took $30 off of my next service, which is kinda cool. Actually I am taking my car there tomorrow for service. (12500 miles - geez, time flies man). Also the car has always pulled a bit to the right and last time I took it in for the service they aligned the car but didn't fix it completely. I wonder if it's tire wear or something else that could be causing it. Any ways, I'll be there at 10:00 in the morning.
