Are they based in Letchworth, Hertfordshire? Bit of a drive for me if thats the case but I would probably go as far as the Midlands to find a good one. I will only entrust my pride and joy to the best of the best

Sorry to hear you haven't had any luck with Chiswick Honda :? .
I've just bought my NSX from a non honda garage and they did offer to service it, but I wanted an NSX honda dealer to do it. Spoke to a man called Jazz at Chiswick before buying and he was very helpful. Car is now at Cheswick and Jazz has been very helpful including telling me that I didn't need my cambelt changed till 2008, I thought it was due evrey six years :oops: .

Don't know if your willing to give them a second chance but if you are ask for Jazz Mann on the service desk, and yes I PMSL when I heard his surname :lol: .

I know we discussed this a bit on an earlier thread, but I thought cambelts were 60k or 5/6 years regardless depending on model?

After Papalazarou comments I thought I better check so called a n other garage and Honda Customer Help Line and got the same answer.

My NSX is a 2000 model year with a 3.2L engine, with servicing evrey year or 9000 miles (which ever occurs first). The cambelt should be done at the 72000 mile service. Therefore 72000 divided by 9000 = 8 ie 8 years.

As my car has less than 19000 miles on it I think it will be serviced evrey year rather than down to milage. :?

Yes the service intervals changed, used to be 6000 miles.

You can't go wrong with Norton Way. I have been going there for years. Bryan has worked on NSXs since they first came out, although he has been made service manager there and doesn't get his hands dirty anymore.
They are small enough to give you a personal service. As for treating the NSX like any other Honda, well it is, what do you expect? The NSX isn't magical or anything, it just requires the same servicing and work as any other car.
They also organised the F1 factory trip we had years ago, they were also selected to run Chiswick Honda.

Took wifeys Civic for it's MOT on Tuesday (to Norton way) where they are nearing completion of a refit.
The good news is thay are now selling Honda Bikes from a bespoke area of the showroom, nice I do like the look, feel, sound of the latest Blade 8) very tempted........

Kevin,

Any chance of arranging a new F1 tour given that Honda own the whole team now?

Ok then,

So what would you guys do if your nearest NSX dealer was 200 miles away and you drove your car regularly, hence needing a couple of services a year?
Would you still make the 400 mile round trip every time there was a problem or would you use a good non-NSX franchise?
