Default Getting maintenance done

Hey,

Anyone know of a decent place in town or on the island to get maintenance done on S2000s?

I think it's time to get a lot of fluids changed and I just don't want to do the work myself...

Thanks in advance

Not in town. I used the dealer in Duncan they did a good job. Other than that there is Progressive.

I had my first scheduled maintenance done at campus Honda. Everything went pretty smoothly. Anyone have any bad experience stories to share about them? No one ever seems to recommend them...

Sorry have not used Campus Honda as we are up island so cannot help you there. We have used Discovery Honda in Duncan a few times now and have received great service, we had valve retainers done there and are happy with the work.

I don't want to say anything bad about Campus because they sponsored the poker run and to me they seem to be trying a bit harder now. I had two things though, one was a maintenance that they quoted a price for that I thought was pretty high. I got it done elsewhere for about $100.00 less. Also I had asked for a special non OEM synth oil and they said they would use it but I had to purchase it and bring it by. I know that if they pick it up it probably would have cost me more but I just thought that asking me to pick it up was a bit strange. Also was told that the maintenance include a tire rotation..., thought that was weird as well.

To be honest though because of other stories I never took the car there. I have always gone to either ZenSport (now 5252) or Discovery Honda in Duncan (just cuz the ride out is so nice and they have treated me excellently). Ronnie takes his car to Campus all the time though and I don't believe he has any bad service stories (a few sales stories but nothing service wise.

Yea, i pretty much get everything done at Campus Honda. The service staff are friendly and love working on S2000's. The sales staff.... whole other story! They love to lie.

There's also a Honda specialist in town. His name is Brad and he works at Lyall Street Service Station. He has a highly tuned civic and a lot of my friends have recommended me to go there.
