Default S2000 friendly auto shops

My old car was an 84 RX-7, and there was a little shop in Lakeside called Royal Automotive that was sort of a "specialty" rx-7 place. They were super friendly and did excellent work.


Now that I've got an S2000, I was wondering if anyone knows of a similar place? I'd rather avoid the dealerships if I could... and it's comforting to know that the shop you're taking it to knows its way around the car.


Thanks!

I think it's more along the lines of those guys have proven themselves trust worthy with our cars, moreso than a discount. Both those guys Don mentioned have been recommended numerous times for many different jobs.
