I took my 1991 Acura NSX to AutoWave for a comprehensive Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI) and follow-up repairs, and I couldn't be more pleased with their level of expertise and service.<br><br>Mike and Shane, the father-and-son co-owners, have an exceptional depth of knowledge when it comes to Acura, Honda, and especially NSX models. They conducted a meticulous inspection, uncovering critical issues that previous Acura dealerships missed. Thanks to their thorough approach, I was able to proactively address a number of critical issues that could have led to costly repairs down the line but would have otherwise gone unnoticed.<br><br>What sets AutoWave apart is their expertise and service quality, which far surpasses what Acura service centers offer. Unlike dealerships, which can be limited by corporate policies and technician turnover, AutoWave brings decades of hands-on experience with NSXs and other Acura/Honda models, ensuring that every detail is properly diagnosed and addressed.<br><br>They also have a strong supply chain and deep industry connections, knowing exactly where to source even rarer parts. Whether it's a discontinued OEM component or a highly specific repair, they have the knowledge and network to track down what’s needed without unnecessary delays.<br><br>While AutoWave’s pricing is on the premium end, what you get in return is uncompromising quality, honesty, and precision work. They take no shortcuts, ensuring repairs are done properly the first time. Mike and his team are also very direct in their communication, telling you exactly what needs to be fixed and why, without pushing unnecessary services.<br><br>One area where I think AutoWave could improve is in translating their deep mechanical expertise into layman’s terms. Because Acura, Hondas and NSXs are second nature to Mike, I sometimes found it challenging to grasp the level of detail involved in protecting the car’s mechanical integrity. However, this doesn’t take away from the fact that they are an honest and capable shop, performing only the necessary work and ensuring the car is in top condition.<br><br>Since the repairs, my car's performance has improved, with smoother drivability and better reliability. If you're looking for specialized, expert-level care for Acura and Hondas, AutoWave is one of the best in the business. They offer peace of mind, unparalleled technical knowledge, and a commitment to doing the job right.

These guys are amazing all around, brought in my 1999 Honda civic ex 1.6 I4 SOHC for a diagnosis on my oil leak and oil pan replacement. I got more than what I paid for to be done ( Topped off my coolant) prices are amazing mechanics there truly care about their work and most importantly know what they are doing. I saw 6 customers come in and out with a smile ready to leave with their car. I will be back to there soon to get my car tuned up. If you have any model Honda i really recommend you bring your car up there with them, Maintenance prices are awesome they care about your car lasting longer than the dealer does they’ll make the time to see your car ( if they can ) as they did with me. Go check check them out and leave with confidence.

A much better experience than going to local Honda dealers. Mike and Shane are very helpful and are extremely thorough with their recommendations. Tacky upsell recommendations, like you would experience at Norm Reeves, are never found here. Shane, Mike and team are the real deal. The car wash after service is the cherry on top. Great job guys!
