I just picked up a 2001 Silver/Red S2000 tonight. I am looking for a good place to have warranty work and service done on my auto.

Most of us on the board are very pleased with the work at John Eagle Honda on 1960 near 290. Which side of town do you live on?

Like Silver S2000 said, John Eagle Honda. Talk to Eric Hayes, mention that you're on the S2ki website and he'll get you setup.

Congrats and welcome!

was driving to work this morning and I noticed what seemed to be a growling noise coming from the area of the transmission when I decelerated. I stopped at the Honda dealer near work and asked them to look at it.

Remember this is my first day of ownership and I am sick waiting to hear that what the problem was. I also had the fear that they would not cover it under warranty due to abuse(from previous owner).

When I did not hear from the dealer by 2:00 pm I called and the service tech said I need to check for you. A little earlier I noticed a bunch of people under your car looking at it.

Well when she returns she informs me that I needed a new clutch and pressure plate. My heart dropped until she said it is covered under warranty and since we need to keep it over night we will give you a free loaner.

I see many here have complained about Honda service, but my first experience has left me quite impressed. Russel SmithToyota at 610 and Main are great.

Russel and Smith offered me $10k over sticker when I wanted to buy an S2000 back in the summer of 2000. I told them that they had the highest priced S2000 in Houston, and they said they didn't care. They've sold 10 @ $10k over sticker and they weren't coming down.

I'm definitely not going to give them any of my money when they made $100k on dealer markup.
