Richtuned motorsports in Auburn, he tuned my car and fixed my inline pro manifold that cracked at the waste gate, solved a map sensor wiring issue and solved my fuel related issues. Which were all due to faulty parts or workmanship by other shops i previously went to. Rich is a great guy and has a lot of sources leaning towards hondas. He is currently moving to a better shop location 3 buildings down from his old one. He is honest and upfront about his charges which is hard to find in shop owners nowadays. His business is currently new and upcoming but he has over 7 years in tuning experience in a shop setting.
I dynoed at 515whp 330ftlbs on his Dyno Dynamics

I would do it for $40 tires are easy as long as your not stretching. I wont mount stretched tires I don't want to be liable for that.

Ok so being new to the area I need to know which shops to actually trust my car with. I rarely take it in for anything but there is a few things that are unavoidable. Please feel free to add suggestions for other services I figure this could be a good resource for everyone and any new owners as well.

+1 for Stage Auto - I had a bent-in and scratched front fender, and they made it look as if it never happened. Great service from the guys there. I saw two other S2000's there at the same time.
And for more general needs, +1 for Ishii Motor. I took boxes full of liquids and had them flush out everything. They also took care of installing my trunk springs which I was struggling with on my own.

Make that +2 for Stage Auto in Kirkland. I've been getting acquainted with them lol, particularly Chris. As with most good shops, they're usually busy so schedule ahead of time if possible. In fact Chris there knows at least a couple names in the s2k community. He has a passion for the cars he works on (numerous S2000's among other sports cars) and seems to enjoy it from my conversations with him.
As far as dealing with an accident for body work under insurance, I'd give high praise to Queen City Auto Rebuild in Redmond. They did a fabulous job on body work for my ap1 after hitting an elk on the freeway, and being covered under insurance only $500 was out of my pocket (as would have been the case with any shop I went with).
