You've already gotten the best places around San Jose for getting a PPI done.

Don't know why you are asking for more help than that? Do a search, the folks who do the best service are the same ones that do a good PPI on the NSX, it's not rocket science

I just had Foreign Affair do my timing belt, water pump and valve adjustment on my 1991. While they were at it I had the air conditioning converted too. So far I can say the work has been well done. They returned all the original parts, did very clean work and I've had no follow up issues. They were perhaps a little more expensive than a few other places but seemed to know the NSX well. I believe they would be a great inspection source. Good luck. Enjoy the car, they really are unique. :smile:

The only reason im asking is for backups, About 2 of the 3 places I called already will be busy the day I need for inspectionso I must work another plan, Also Im not from norcal so that is why these names/shops are not familiar with me. Thanks for your help anyway

Hill Top is the only one who's worked on my car so far so not sure about the others but their comments seem pretty good for the other shops.

Another member here uses a mechanic at Stevens Creek Acura to do his work and is very happy with the work and services. Closer to San Jose area.

Steven's creek might be a good answer to my question!
Any chance you know that members name or his tech? Is it just the NSX guy?

Thanks Mike.

Stevens Creek Acura is the place to go. I talked to the NSX mechanic there once after he worked on my car and he seemed very knowledgable and friendly. Also drives an NSX as his personal vehicle I believe. His name escapes me though, but give him a try.
