    Question Mechanics????

    I need to get the timing belt and water pump done on my 91, as it has 90.6k on the meter, and I read about all these great stories on their local mechanic, and was wondering if there are any close local dealerships here in Charlotte, NC that anyone knows of. I can take it to the dealer, but thought I would ask first. Dealer quoted me at $900+tax for 90k mile service. (which doesn't include replacing water pump i don't think, forgot to ask)

    Leith Acura in Cary is very highly regarded by the NSX folks in the triangle area. I know that's ~150 miles away. Don't know about anything in Charlotte but that price is typical for the 90K.

    Barn Man is about 200-250 miles from you, and he's a great tech that's fair with a good sense of humor.

    I agree 100% with Chris. If you can get Barney to come to you, on bring it to him, it is by far your BEST choice.

    Drop him an e-mail. You will be very glad you did.

    Actually, the distance is about twice that (422 miles from Nashville to Charlotte).

    everyone in the boston area that i know of uses a dealership. since you're not willing to go to a dealership as you noted in your oil change post as they are too far (i dont get that, its only 6 miles to acura of boston in brighton from the financial district), you're going to have to find someone yourself.

    I would never have a major service done on my NSX by someone who doesn't do them often. Even if they're a top-notch mechanic, it will take them longer than someone who does them all the time, and they won't know the little time-saving and job-saving "tricks", or the "gotchas" to watch out for.
