Folks.. I go pick my 1st S2K up next weekend and extremely excited about the new addition... I must admit that I am not a *wrench*, so will not be doing my own maintenance on the car. Anyone have a good shop they use in the Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill Area that they are extremely happy with? I live in Cary (actually moving in my house tomorrow)..

Any advice greatly appreciated..

Hey Wayne,

Welcome to NC, we have a good group around here so keep checking in for meets and stuff going on.

As far as a good shop, I do almost all of my own maintenance so can't really personally recommend anywhere. I am sure others will chime in and let you know.

If you have any questions about the car once you have it post them up and definitely post up some pictures.

Welcome, I'm not from the area, but I've always heard that Crown Honda is a very S2K friendly dealership (especially since GrandMasterKhan works there).

 

Tx Mic and TPhong..

TPhong do you know grandmasterkahns id on this forum?

 

Oops. I was spelling khan as Kahn.

 

Kenny comes and goes, last I heard he works at Crown Honda at Southpoint. I haven't seen him in a while thought.

Kenny is still at crown.

I'm a tech at a dodge dealer in wake forest if you need any work done I can do pretty much anything there.

 

I've also had serious work done at Happy Japs in Cary - they rebuilt my other car's transmission and installed a new clutch. I'd definitely recommend them as well.

(and they're not kidding in their "staff" section - there is a cat that just hangs out all over the place)

 

Hmm. Wonder if happjaps does good stuff for our S2Ks..

 

I typically do almost all my own maintenance on both cars. However, when the S2000 needs a clutch, I most likely will take it to HappyJaps rather than do it myself (of course, it depends on how enterprising I'm feeling when the time comes.) My other car is an Integra, so for whatever that's worth, they pieced it back together pretty well, and the transmission shifts like a charm.
