Default Garage recommendations near Gloucester

As per title, I'm looking to get a major service done soon (basically everything) and would rather use a garage with experience of doing our cars. Does anyone know of a specialist in/around Gloucester?

Cheers

Around the southwest in my experience theres not many garages that specialises in our cars. I personally service my own car as i dont trust any garage. There are plenty of how toos on here and most are very factually correct, and can be carried out with a basic service tool kit.
If your going for it...
Do all fluids well worth the investment, engine oil, transmission oil, diff oil, coolant, brake and clutch fluid look up adjusting the clutch freeplay also. All these things will make your car feel like new.
Dont forget new filters and sump washers

I concur with winstan, most service items can be done on your driveway. The only one I will not do is the valve clearance!
Have a look at the FAQ it will give the majority of the info you need.

Check out Cox Honda on eBay for oil filter, Costco do a good price on Castrol oils.

Just remember that the oil filter is not like a normal car, it needs to be tightened much harder. You put it on like normal hand tight then following the numbers on the filter (assuming you get a Honda original) another 7/8th of a turn.
I have changed my filter many times over the last 12 years and never had one work loose.
