Default California Servicing

I've read several threads on bad service on the board.
Anyone know of a good S2000 service centre, either dealer or other, in the area between north of LA and south of San Fran?

Thanks,
sousleau

Dublin Honda has done an okay job with my car. I just wouldn't buy one from them with their $5K markup and the early "lottery" system.

They're good with dealing with recall issues (rear window, top cover, seat belt). I just had them install new tires on mine and they realigned it, even though they just did it 6000 miles ago. I don't know if that was really necessary or not, but if I get 10% more mileage from the tires I'll come out ahead. The car is definitely less likely to swing the tail out with new S02's than with worn ones.

I was a little annoyed that they put 11 miles on it checking that everything was right with it when it was finished. Next time I'll request that I go along for the ride, just to be sure.

You can get more Bay Area opinions if you go to the "Clubs" area, then ask this same question on the "Bay Area S2000 Owners" list.

I've been going to Anderson Honda in Palo Alto. I would never buy a car from them but the service department is professional and reasonable.

Yes blackblack, I am in Greenland. My S2K is in storage, and when I fly out of here in three short weeks, I will have the pleasure of driving my car down to California. Figure I will need the 4000 mile service about there.
Thank you all for the input!
scottrnelson Thanks for the advice. Will do that as well.
