Default Brake Booster Recall

Well, I too got the official letter. The problem is that I am having a hard time letting a dealer work on the car. Does anyone have a preferred dealer that they trust and even the actual TECHNICIAN by name that you can reccommend?

I took mine to Wesley Chapel Honda, which normally I wouldn't recommend for service or sales, unless you ask for Stephen to work on your car. He's got an AP1 and a Genesis coupe. I actually met him and talked to him and he seemed like a very knowledgeable guy and he already knew my car had the recall before I mentioned it to him. And they might not even have to work on your car if your brake booster falls within spec. Mine didn't need to be replaced as it moved within the 0.0-0.75mm range

Scott over the years I had a lot of service done at Kuhn and have no complaints. Go in there and ask for Tony Looney (service advisor) and tell him I sent you. He will make sure you are taken care of trust me.

Really? It's not like they will be taking the whole car apart.
It's a brake booster, do a couple brake checks on the way home from whichever dealer you go to and you will be fine.
If your scared key me know ill come do it for you.

Nick, let me know if you have anyone in Vero Beach that you trust, and I'll drive the car down there and have you work your magic on it as well.
