Just do your homework before you take it to "honda". I know plenty of people who have taken their vehicles to a dealership and have had worse experiences if they would have taken it to a mom and pop repair shop. Just read reviews.

+1. Some of the best Honda mechanics in Richmond, and very fairly priced. Would recommend them for something of this nature since it isn't performance oriented, etc. They more-so work on factory cars, and do warranty work for Honda's.

I have an oil leak that needs diagnosing/fixing and rear wheel bearings need replacing.

Thanks.

Thanks. I will stop by there on Monday. Wallace sounds like the kind of place I am looking for.

Do they mind if the customer supplies the parts?

Just want to update this.

I had the oil pressure switch replaced at Wallace Automotive. They charged $37 labour and $20 for an OEM pressure switch.

I strongly recommend them.

I go here. They can get three of everything and Harry can get the big ones too; even if you need them by tonight.
