Default Mechanic recommendations pls

I'm getting close to 30k on the clock and want a very good mechanic to perform a customized 30k service. I have no problem driving a good distance for this.

Here's what I have in mind, none of which is rocket science, still.....
-- Valve adjustment with retainer examination
-- install NGK BKR7EIX-11 (#6988) iridium plugs
-- Radiator fluid change: OEM non-silicate anti-freeze
-- Differential fluid change: LE607 (GL-5)
-- Brake fluid change: ATE Super Blue Racing DOT4
-- Clutch fluid change: Motorcraft High Performance DOT3
-- all inspections cited in Honda's 30k service list
-- no engine oil, cabin filter, or air filter changes

My local Honda dealership is off the table, hence my query.

Recommendations?

How far are you willing to drive? If you're willing to drive to Milwaukee, hondamanwill is the man.

I'm long passed that unfortunately. 61 and a heart attack survivor (had one at 58) means I'll pay to have things done by a good hand

hondamanwill is his screen name. He comes out to our tech days and works on our cars. He's very familiar with S2000s and his prices are extremely reasonable.

Pinyo at Profunction:

7725 Grant St. Unit 3
Burr Ridge, IL 60527
(847) 895-9520
Fax# (630) 396-9022

He will take care of everything and in a timely manner! Give him a call and you will see how he knows everything about the S2000. No need to drive all that way when you have local professionals at an awesome price.

It appears this guy is from South Dakota, so I have a feeling Hondamanwill might actually be closer.

Feedback I've gotten indicates the best bets within the closest driving range are Excessive Auto Sports in Sioux Falls, SD (~326 miles) and TC Performance in Arvada, CO (~309).

Thanks to all!
