    Why not give Graham a call at Plans, they've recently overhauled a couple of Nsx engines after removing them first and there're labour rate is very competitive compared to main dealers, being predominantly NSX specialists certainly gives me confidence when I go there.
    They even sometimes have a courtesy on hand.

    Hmm really? The two I know of had nothing but trouble.. Self appointed NSX "specialist " based on what? I've used them in the past.. I've used NW and I know where I'd prefer to go...

    Graham's business is built on the love for the car and that comes across when you meet him, I've used their services half a dozen times now and they've always been fair and ok with me I have to say, but like any independent specialist you'll always have someone who's not completely happy and there are always two sides to every story, having owned my car audio business for many years I know that all too well.
    But if you get the chance to pay them a visit you'll find the workshop is always full and busy on mainly customers NSX's including at the moment a complete refresh of a couple of NSX R's. Nortons may well have been an NSX "specialist" dealer back in the day and no doubt still work on a lot of NSX's but I doubt they work on as many NSX's as Plans and as you know the technicians come and go over time.

    I won’t join the discussion about Plans, because I don’t have experience. But I just comment that if you’re using a Honda dealer, you can ask if they have an NSX qualified technician. There are still some left. For example, there is one at Cheshire Oaks Honda, although I can’t endorse them for big jobs because I only have experience with them of annual oil change services.
    I did use a Cheshire based independent who claim to be NSX and Honda specialists, to change the water hoses. They were cheaper than the Honda dealer but did a poor job. I wish I’d taken it to Cheshire Oaks.
