If you sent it to the GM of Hersons, it should trickle down to the Service Manager.
Good luck.

I'd let it work it's way down rather than let them prepare for it. These places (as a matter of corporate policy, I think) depend on most people giving up. Have you talked to your insurance company?

I think you're right too Jim. That's why I didn't fax it to the service dept. directly. Trickle down does work best in these circumstances. Don't want them to have prepared answers for management.

I did not talk to my insurance company, but that is a very good idea and I will do so tonight GEICO)

EJ,
Geico will require you to have a police report. They did for me.

Wow. I'm soooooooooo hesitant to get my TSBs done now.......and I want them done soon. I just don't understand how almost every dealer f's up this car somehow. In some way or another.

Not only would I be super frustrated about my car (I'm not a lawyer!), but the amount of time spent composing the letter (very, very concise) and the frequent visits to the dealership and researching AH contact numbers. That crap takes a lot of time........and time is money.

Good luck again, and this is another dealer added to the list that I won't bring my car to. Does anyone have any positive comments about Herson's?

After holiday break let's go about establishing "Preferred Mid-Atlantic Region S2000 Service Centers". For the DC area, I nominate Jim Coleman. I think the NOVA folks should do the same. Here's how it would work:

A number of will approach Jim Coleman Honda and petition them to be a "Preferred Mid-Atlantic S 2000 service center. We can jointly draft non-binding "Statement of Principles" in which they pledge certain things (good service, customer responses, the utmost care, etc.) and have a sit down meeting with their service department folks. There is clear upside for them (more business) and more upside for us (we have piece of mind). Maybe they can sponsor/have special S2000 deals, etc.

Just a thought
