Default Honda Bristol

I recently took my S2000 to Honda Cribbs Causeway as they had an offer of £125 for MOT and oil service. I have to say, service was fantastic. They did it on the day, a Saturday, and they used the correct filter, which I was concerned about after hearing a few stories of main dealers not doing so.

The lady who booked it in said if I didnt want to collect it that day, then they would keep in inside the garage, not outside, until it was convenient for collecting, apparently they take all S2000s in over night!
They also offer to wash the car within the price, however , the lady did ask me if I wanted to go ahead, as apparently most S2000 owners dont like others washing thier car! I chose not to have it washed, what a bunch we must be!

So just a heads up, after so many people dont get good dealer service, I'd say these guys were great!!

Matt

In the main I would avoid Honda main dealers unless I knew their mechanics were S2000 drivers themselves or on a personal recommendation from someone I trust. Pleased to hear you had a good experience.

Hi Nick,

To be honest I haven't. I had a quick glance at the filter, to check it was the correct one, since then the cars been parked up. I'll check it, thanks.

If you mean the dipstick was 3/4 that Sounds perfect - the engine oil doesn’t have to be maxed to the full.

It does if you’ve paid for full oil change worth?

Cribbs always used to review well, there were (are) a few members up that way using them and many moons ago the Manager was a member...
