Default S2000 master mechanic

Anyone have any experiences? Good or bad. I don't want to take my S into Honda and get a technician that forgets to put a crush washer on a drain plug! I bought the car and changed out all the fluids and found that the transmission was missing a crush washer, previous owner had taken it to Honda for the 55000 mile maintenance where they changed the tranny fluid.

Thanks JulieU. It looks like 4 star imports is the best.

What do you need? I've touched every nut and bolt on my s2000... more than once.

Maybe adjust the valves. Did it once on my CRX but I am sure the +/- is much larger on that D16. Plus it made me real nervous! Not even sure I need it. Its an 06 with 59,000m. Other than that I just need tires and an alignment and that takes more money than I have right now.

For a valve adjustment, I'd recommend Humble Performance. For tire mounting/balancing, CARS. For alignment, either CARS or Four Star.

I could and would easily do it for free... but I'm not in tulsa. As a matter of fact, I just did my wife's TSX's valve adjustment yesterday.

Maybe during the next s2k meet that comes down here to OKC, I could hook you up.
