whats the difference between a NSX CERTIFIED MECH and a general one?LOL
An example 1: I take my car to my local get'r done mechs opened the engine bay to let them look at the engine, as my A/C wasnt blowing cold and I thought it might be the compressor the guy pressed the coolant bleed valve and said "yeah there is some pressure in the System it def has some freon in it."
I didnt say anything.
example 2:took my car to a honda dealership to get a belt for my old Accord, the Mechanic on duty said "those corvette's sure burn thru rear tires huh"
I laughed thinking he was joking he went on about how his fav was the 75 vette, I said this is a honda/Acura NSX
he was surprised said my bad the pop-up lights had me going there for a minute, then started to tell me that they dont hand make 4CyL engine like that anymore.
I had to.... say its a V6 Vtec C30 engine he was agian surprised
I said well gotta go.
Example 3: wanted to get some scratches out of the side of my car went to very well know bodyshop called Gene Perez Autobody in tampa
the smart ass body guy said "what do those corvette go for these days?"
I said it an Acura All aluminum.
he tells me cars made out of Aluminum frame will buckle way before a car made of steel from Detroits frame will.
I didnt even say bye I got in my car and drove away.
example 4:went to another shop that I know that sells junkers was looking for a cheapo car for a friends son's first car. when i pulled up the Mechanics all ran out and 2 of the 3 had never even seen one in person.
they loved it. told me all about their civics that was a long chat ugggh
others can chime in WHY never let someone work on your NSX that has never done so before
Im not saying all mechanics are dumb asses but there are a few at EACH shop that should be carpenters or lumberjacks

.. the fact is a tech that works on a specific car, becomes proficient and understands a lot more about issues, and the many things that typically go wrong. Snap-ring is an example, CC units, clutch hydraulic system, age of hoses......
