the future of auto service is specialists to whom the dealer contracts
out. this already happens with body work, audio install, glass, air
conditioning, tires/alignment, injection, etc. there's absolutely no
reason a consumer shouldn't work with those specialists direct.
motorcycle dealers are already there - last dealer i visited did minor
tune-up's, brakes, etc., but contracted everything else out.

I've had mixed luck with dealers, although I will say I've done better with

IMO, you would be better off going to a dealer. Goodson Honda is on the Katy
Freeway near Spring Branch. I have lived here 25 years and have not found a
_good_ independent shop. Friends and I have been looking for a long time. I
remember one shop that I took a company truck to to have the idler arm replaced a
few years ago - a new tech they just hired had never seen an electric drill. He
was absolutely amazed with it.
You will need to speak fluent Spanish to many of the mechs at independent shops
here.

Paul,
This is in Far NW Houston. I use them b/c I live here. Good work for
decent price.

There is also HondaCar Shop. They are expensive.

I have heard Happy Honda on Hwy 6 between I10 & 290 does good work but I
have never used them myself. A guy I worked with used them sometime ago and
say they were good.
