Replying to: gagrice (Jul 07, 2006 7:23 am) Hi-- That is Flexcar.com -- not a flex fuel car. Not that clueless, thanks!   And, I have had four repairs done in 4 weeks and it needs two more significant ones already. I can't afford it -- already down -- So, thanks -- Replies to this message: gagrice (Jul 07, 2006 9:21 pm)

Finding service for a new or different technology is always something that's going to have to sort itself out.   Of course, it's also an opportunity for some to expand into or start up new businesses!

GX owners tend to be great record keepers. Buying an old fleet car is always a question mark and would be a crapshoot at best. Buying blind from a broker has it's own problems, as you find out. I would only buy used under the first set of conditions. A well maintained car would be worth paying a little more for. Getting a car checked and passed by a mechanic only reveals immediate problems, like leaks, unless they do far more diagnostic work, like compression tests, radiator leak tests, etc. Most people don't want to pay more than $100 ( or way less) to get a car checked out. If you don't have a dealer history on the car, this could be money well spent. Lastly, you can walk into any Honda dealership, find the service director and ask him to pull any info on recalls/service bulletins that have been issued on that car. He will gladly do this for you. The service writters are usually too buisy outside. If they don't do this for you, go to another dealership and try again... and don't go back to the place that wouldn't oblige you.
#12 of 13 service in CA bay area? by kate_g Jul 09, 2007 (11:49 am)
Thread title suggests this is the right place for this question...   Anybody have recommendations for mechanics (Honda dealer or otherwise) with good knowledge about both CNG and CVT in the CA bay area? Saw that somebody was posting bay area fuel prices on the pricing thread, so figured there must be a few other bay area GX owners. Shops to avoid would be great too, if you feel comfortable posting that. Thanks! Replies to this message: giorgi (Jul 16, 2007 9:43 pm)

I've also read that there service department isn't the greatest either, but I think they are the only dealership in the south bay with CNG certified mechanics. You could also try Capitol Honda in San Jose. I myself never like dealerships and I try to stay away from them as much as possible. Just my two cents. Anthony
