My S2000 has never been in a dealership service department. In fact it's never been in any service department since I've owned it. I do my own wrenching because I don't trust shops and don't feel like paying $1,500 for a job I can do in a Saturday.

My S2000 has been down for a total of 12 days from the time I found that a mouse had chewed through the fuel supply line till the time I got the part in and replaced it.

Four days for warranty work, but most of that was waiting for a part.

^WTF lol, since I do all the work myself except for alignment (few hours, max since I make appointments), the longest downtime for me was 3 days while I did the clutch!

1 hour for an alignment 2 times during the 6 years I've owned it. And that is the only time it has been in a shop.
