I was about to ask that too... I miss the Honda/Acura service in Azusa, CA.... they did an excellent job, and don't charge $$$$...

Last time before moving up to Bay Area, I brought my oil filter and castrol sync oil, and all they charge me was $14, and that's for inspection, adding fluids...

Wish I know something similar here in Bay Area.

I just got my rotors, pads and ss lines done there on wednesday, the palce does good work and as far as I could tell were careful with my car ( no joyridding, interior was just as I left it). I am not sure who Winston is but I deal with the older guy. They have a dyno and good prices too. I am very carefull who I let work on my car and this place is the only place I would go to.

There is also a place called Acura honda connection over by the San Jose airport that is also very good and provides free loaners for all services. They also do body work but will not put on performance parts. The owner Joey is super cool. (408) 977-0933

There's a place near Trimble and 101 called "FAhonda" that does very good work. I think the guy I go to is Keith. They are experts and also deal with NSX's and aftermarket stuff. At least this is what I remember. They have courtesty shuttles as well.

Any one here have experience with Honda Acura of Campbell? According to Yelp it's got pretty good reviews.

I have been to Honda Acura. the owner, John, is a stand up guy and won't give you the runaround - good place to go for oil changes, maintenance. I even had my rear subframe replaced here as it was snapped off due to my rear sway bar and energy suspension bushings. Not sure if he does any performance work though.

If you mean Honda of Los Gatos, I would stay away also. They were one of the better dealerships at one point in time but have had more issues here and there.

I had my 2k Accord timing belt job and brakes done there and had to come back to get my timing belt done correctly. The engine didn't sound the same until the second senior tech fixed the issues. It was a pain in the neck driving back and forth.

Go to FAhonda, they do the work right the first time and are not cheap but have better pricing than dealerships.

USA Touch Up Auto Body, Inc. are amazing, most of their body job are done within the same day or in 2 days...

These guys are amazing, it's like having Time Machine, reversing time on the car, and put back in excellent shape... it's like your car didn't get any dent at all...
