Hello All. Just purchased an 02 w/18k miles and I'm just wondering what shops/dealerships have a good reputation here in the D/FW area. I'm in Arlington, but wouldn't mind a short drive for good service and knowledge. In reading through these forums, I can tell Jiffy Lube wont cut it! Thanks in advance.

 

Marcucci is a highly respected, but busy member on here that occasionally takes maintenance/modification jobs on a contact basis.

 

Make sure you contact him at least a month in advance...

No kidding.

 

Independent Foreign Car (Dan Gould off Turner Warnell and S. Cooper) have always worked wonders with my Hondas. I do not know what their experience is with s2000s, but I would give them a call.

Thanks guys. Are there any dealerships out there who do good work w/o charging an arm and a leg? Any pos/neg experiences with Vandergriff? I think they would be closest to me. I have read volumes about Lute Riley on this forum, but I havent seen much about anyone else.

 

Don't take it to a dealer if you want good work that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. An independent shop or a mechanically inclined board member will be your best bet.

 

Speaking of dealerships you might talk to rioyellow... I think there may be a mechanic at the dealership he works at that does work on his S2Ks... on the side, so might be reasonable price

 

Vandergriff is the worst dealership on God's green earth...

 

 

All the dealerships will charge a lot.. it will market hourly rate and book hours.

There will be good and bad experiences at all of them but I think John Eagle has addressed the issues. They have been good recently, and I recommend them.
