Good place to get service done

[yttikeiram]

I live in the Long Beach area in LA. The dealer I bought it from apparently has crappy service. Any recommendations?

PS-I think the place has to be certified by Honda to retain the warranty.

In the USA, you can do the service yourself and still retain the warranty -- keep all receipts and take a pic or two documenting it. There's tons of good info on the how-to subforum for DIY maintenance.

It is a good idea to take it in for the first maintenance if you can find a good dealer though, they check way more than just oil and valves if they're worth a damn. I'm on the East coast, so I have no recommendations.
