Just got my CTR a couple weeks ago and want to know if anyone has a suggestion for a shop or dealership to perform regular maintenance on the car? Seems that every Honda dealership close to me has shit reviews (Queens, NY, according to Yelp). I don't mind taking a drive out as long as I receive good service.

2017 Civic Coupe Touring
Atlantic Honda in Bay Shore is where I picked up my Coupe Touring this past weekend. The service bay was large, clean, and they have pretty solid reviews from what I've looked up. Should be about 40 mins from you, not sure if that's excessive.

Thanks, according to Yelp, they have 3 stars, and the only dealerships within an hour drive from me with higher ratings are Yonkers Honda and Curry Honda in Yorktown Heights.

That being said, I realize the ratings can vary between the different sites (Yelp, google, dealerrater), just want to see if anyone had personal experience with a local dealer/shop that they could recommend for service.

Took my first oil change to Honda of Huntington
Second oil change to Honda of Bayshore
Front right passenger speaker is "popping" a little and today I have an appointment at Honda of Bayshore to get it swapped out under warranty at 3:30.

Notes: Honda of Bayshore has a fairly big service center. They did seem pretty slow with it when I did the oil change, not the tech... but the service assistant writing my order up. The car was sitting done in the parking Lot for 1/2 hour before I got to get the paperwork as she went on break and no one seemed to care to help me besides who is assigned to you. They do have a carwash... and if you are anything like me I tell them 3 times during my write up "PLEASE, do not wash my car" Thank you!

Come out to my Dealership (Lia Honda of Brewster). I'm a very meticulously clean tech when it comes to working on customer cars especially newer performance ones. I replaced a Turbo on a 2017 Civic Si with 166 miles and took care of the car like my own with covers over the paint and everything. Customer was very happy with the car being fixed properly and taken care of.

Hey, that's where I took delivery on my sport touring. I can second the service being good over there. I remember I heard about that issue with the Si about 2 months ago when I had my Sport Touring over there.

Bumping an old post but I may need service on my CTR soon. OP, did you pick a dealer for service? Does anyone have recommendations for dealer service in the NYC/LI area?

Not exactly in NYC/LI, but I drive out to Greenwich Honda, that's where simply_the_best works at (left his prior place Lia Honda of Brewster). The dealerships around my way seem shady af.

Yea, I agree with you, don't really trust anyone here. When you schedule service, do you specifically ask for him to work on your car?

If someone is looking for a private repair person:
Sigi of S&W Automotive in Yonkers, NY. 914.476.4134
302 Saw Mill River Road
For folks who work in Manhattan, a Westchester bus ride to Metro-North in Bronxville or Yonkers.
I've been using him for over 20 years. He drives Honda and is frankly honest and reasonable.

I am just following up on this post. I am a new CTR owner in the NJ / NYC area and am also looking for a good dealership for service. Just seeing if anyone has any updated recommendations.

A friend of mine at a Precision Acura in Princeton NJ told me about a super low mile 2017 CTR. If anyone would be interested his name is Tony. He's a good friend of mine and I know he'll take care of you. His direct number is 609-895-0600 ext. 323.

Bumping this -- I'm in Somerset County, NJ. Anybody have any good or bad experiences with the shops around me, such as: VIP in North Plainfield, Madison Honda, Autosport in Bridgewater, Clinton Honda, or any others in my neck of the woods?
