find a honda dealer that you are comfortable with... some are better than others! Any honda dealer should be able to help you.

If you are referring to the steering wheel rattle/clicking sounding, I had the same problem. I found that it was coming from the air bag assembly, if I grabbed the bag, the rattle/clicking from the steering wheel would stop. I made my dealership take off the air bag, I had the guy put some random padding (small pieces of foam) around some of the wire harnesses and what not....solved the steering wheel problem. Only took them about 20 minutes.

The roof clicking I have also......never bothered to have the dealer look at it........too much of a hassle I guess.....

wantgoback-
i think that we all experienced different things after the first oil change... but the car returns to the way it was in a couple days.
also, my steering wheel came "off center" from some very aggressive steering- i took it to the dealer and they fixed it and tightened it easily. any honda dealer can handle this.
