Clearly a standard fee as doesn't realise that plugs are not changed at alternate service. Worth the extra to get an NSX trained technician who might actually spot something amiss and to maintain full Honda service history. Our cars might not need the fettling of a Ferrari but they are still a supercar.

I imagine they are middle men for just normal independents.

I have used these people for a Renault Scenic Service as they are about £450 from Renault! They saved me about £200 IIRC and the service was perfect. They are indeed a middle man operation but car was collected and delivered, stamped etc and didn't affect the warranty. Would not use it for the X though!!

The last Type A service on my '95 cost £92.

It was carried out by Brown Brothers Honda in Peebles.

They've looked after it for the last 3 years and it hasn't missed a beat.

In fact, over the past 3 years the NSX has cost less to maintain than my CRV, and when you factor in depreciation, it's been cheaper to run!

does doing it yourself count as independant? did the tappets last friday, not as complicated as the horror stories suggest!
