Default Dealer/Shop to fix an open recall in the Triangle

I'm trying to sell my car and when I got the Carfax report it lists 1 open recall. I'm assuming I'll need to use a Honda dealer to get that fixed. If so, do any of the Honda dealerships around RTP have a service department I can trust with my S2000? If not, I should be able to take it to my mechanic.

Also, anyone have any idea what it would cost of have the springs traded out? The car has Eibach springs on it now but I have the stock springs and might replace them to help with resale.

Thanks

Wouldnt the dealership be the best option for recall work? I'd just take it to Leith.

I'm not sure yet. I'll have to call the dealer and find out. Just figured I'd check here first to figure out which dealer to call.

Yep, brake booster it is. Inspect and repair if necessary. Thanks.

Can I trust Leith with simple things like Brake/Trans/Diff fluid replacement? I can get it done cheaper elsewhere but as long as it's at the shop, it's worth the extra $$ to make 1 trip (plus any prospective buyers would probably trust a receipt from a dealer more than an independent garage).

Yeah I have had Leith work on my S (warranty work) and they did fine. Fluids are easy man...why not DIY?

Local Honda dealer did my brake booster recall 3 summers ago. Make an appointment as there may be parts involved that need to be ordered.

Thanks guys, Leigh Honda did a good job. Service department was very busy but they didn't take too long and communicated well. Brake bleeder didn't need to be fixed. Hopefully I can get that reflected on my Carfax soon.
