My S is going in for a service tomorrow at my local dealership - Steels Hereford.

Being done on a Honda 12 service, so I will see what comes back. Be interesting to see how their customer service is too.

Anyone have any 'trick' questions I should be asking to see if they're decent?

"How much to replace the cambelt.."

 

Whats the best power-steering fluid for an S2k?

 

A 12 service is hardly rocket science - the best test is to see what they report in terms of brake wear.

• Note any body damage
• Fit car protection kit
• Check operation of all lights
• Check operation of horn
• Check operation of wipers
• Check operation of windscreen washers
• Top up washer fluid
• Drain and refill engine oil
• Replace engine oil filter and sump washer
• Inspect brake pipes and fuel lines
• Inspect exhaust system
• Inspect front brake pads % wear
• Inspect rear brake pads/shoes % wear. Remove brake drums if required
• Inspect brake discs
• Inspect cooling system for leaks
• Inspect auxiliary drive belts
• Check antifreeze content
• Check all fluid levels
• Check battery condition - Midtronics Tester
• Inspect tyres and set pressures
• Report on tyre tread depth (mm)
• Check front and rear suspension
• Check wheel bearings
• Check driveshaft and gaiters
• Check track rod ends and ball joints
• Check and adjust handbrake
• Road test brakes
• Road test steering
• Road test suspension
• Road test engine and transmissions
• Road test heating system
• Road test check for abnormal noises
• Complete safety health check
• Note any additional work required
• Inspect underbody for corrosion

 

How many liters of oil will they put in the flux capacitor?

 

1. Can you check my rear seat belts,

2. Change my blinker fluid

3. Do you sell roof racks for the S2000

 

Well I've just had new Honda pads fitted and new tyres, so I had thought that would be a telling point if they report them to be worn or something.

 

Funny responses

I had thought I'd seen somewhere a few questions and queries that newbies should use to test the dealership on their experience, etc. Perhaps I'm wrong.

They have a good reputation within the county, but obviously S2000s are hardly an everyday motor they'd be seeing. I think I'm the only one in Hereford, or at least reguarly in Hereford.

 

I'm deliberating at the moment whether to book mine into Honda to retain its FHSH or to go to Performance Autoworks who I will know will do a proper job.

 

Mine is in at Steels Honda as we speak. I'll update this thread once it is back.

I don't suppose any Hereford(shire) based S2000 owners have used them? Or if not, who do you recommend?
