Mod friendly dealerships???

Okay guys, as a new valley resident I was wondering who are the mod friendly dealerships down here? You know the ones that realize that we will mod our cars, but they don't try to blame every malfunction of modifications we have made and thus us having to fight to get warranty claims covered? Are there any down here, or am I just screwed?

yeah, Bell Honda is some nice people. They have a performance area, such as intakes, exhaust, rims, and probably a hell of a lot more. They know we like to mod our ****. So they dont give a damn, and help us out.

Yes he is pretty cool. When I sold cars there he was the advisor I had to take my new customers to to introduce as "their" service advisor. And yes she does have a lowered, intaked, exhausted, and wheeled civic(black EM1)

as long as it isnt Showcase. They are the rudest stupidest dumbf***s over any other dealership. They locked my nissan 200sx keys in the car, we told them we are not buying a car from them. They kept saying lets see what deal we can do, are you sure. After 45 minutes of saying we definately arent buying something, they say, "Im sorry, but we locked your keys in your Nissan. But dont worry, we have "Professionals" working on it right now. If they were pros, they wouldnt have done it in the first place, and it wouldnt have taken 1 hour to get them out. NOBODY ever get anything from Showcase.

I was wondering if anybody is having problems with their car in the rain? It sounds like my clutch is slipping. My car gets really loud and shakes when going through a puddle, or even today when it was pouring, I had to pull over on the freeway. It could be my B-Pipe. Anybody having this problem. I hate starting new threads so I used this one. Thank you!

Anybody have any dealings with Avondale Honda, seeing as they are all of 2 miles from my place and Bell is well like 50 miles from my place?

Cool, I have a good friend of mine at UTI. I just talked to him last night. He really likes it and its pretty affordable. He said its not as much hands on learning as he'd like but just talking to him about stuff he has a much greater understanding of cars and mechanics and principals... He goes to school at night...

I dunno a damn thing about Avondale Honda...
Really though your car doesnt need that much service right, and for the peace of mind that your advisor is taking care of you... I think the drive is worth it. Plus they are open from 7am to 7pm so even if you have to drive they'll still be open for you(although its still best to call and make an appt). Adrian closes the service department anyhow(taking on more to be promoted...) so he's always there late...

Peace

They cant take No for an answer as well. We have been there a couple times,a nd both times, we said absolutley not, there is no way we will buy a car from you. And they keep pushing and pushing. They are too stupid to deal with. Bell Honda gave me a bomb price with absolutely no barganing, but we are friends with the fleet manager.

LOL small world happening again!
I met Abe's son off of Superhondaonline.com back in the day... me and him and alot of our other friends that are still tight all met off of there... Me and Eli hung all the time, Abe didnt like me cause I was a "trouble maker" and we were always "wasting" money on our cars, but I ended up going to their house every Sunday for dinner(since my family lives far away). Then when I needed a job he told me to come on down cause he knew I knew about the cars... the rest is history! Eli(Abe's son is an assistant manager there now) Crazy huh?!

Peace

I'm sorry it was not Avondale Honda, but Earnhardt Honda instead...it was just in the midst of the other Avondale dealerships...I just need to figure out what is up with my P/S and suspension along with my bizzare engine rattle/tap noise

I've taken my car in a couple of times for that engine rattle/tap and they say that they line it up against other identical cars and that it is normal. But my warranty is up now so if I took it back I would probably get a different story now.
