good Honda mechanics
 

My CBR929 finally has to go in for work that I don't do...a valve adjustment. Where's a good place in central NJ? Good experiences, bad experiences?

not wanting to go far i went to the dealer on rt 33. coopers
everthing was in spec.
only thing that sucked was the price!

Freehold Honda is a pretty honest shop. So is Monmouth Cycles.

+1 on Freehold Honda. It's practically my second home since I live 10 mins from it.

I've bought parts there and I like the guys, but I heard they had a big turnover in their service department recently. Did all the good mechanics leave? Any truth to that?

They don't really have any bad mechanics there. Except, of course, for the guy who chipped the tank on my 600RR a while back and tried to hide it. When I told them about it, he was fired on the spot.

I had a bad experience at Freehold Honda with a guy on the phone quoting me a price and then charging me double when I got there, but the service manager took care of it so overall things worked out. Id still say its a good place to go to.

I only trust one Honda mechanic........

They rebuild motors too so a simple valve adjustment is no big thing...just be sure to tell Ron (shop owner) you're a member of this site and this site referred you.

I dont know all of them But I know Ted has been there for about 10 years. He's the goldwing man...

Yeah, but you suck :LOL: (He understands, lol)
Cough cough Xtreme Machines cough cough.

Sorry Joe, shamefull plug.

Ted has been THE Honda man for at least 18 years........:)

Sorry Mike. The guy asked for a Honda shop. Extreme isnt a honda shop.

Haha, well, it doesn't have to be a Honda dealer, just a place that is competent to do Hondas as well. Anyone used Rizzon's lately? They're really close to me. Haven't been there in ages. I'd use Freehold, but they're at least an hour from me. More with traffic.
Yeah, Bob, I only trust myself, too. :) I do most stuff, this the the first time it needs to go in since I bought it in '01, hence the agonizing! I don't do valves. :roflmao:
