If it's service you need, check out Premium Imports on Wake Forest Road caddycorner from Snoopy's. I've been going to them for years for things I can't fix/make worse. Ask for Kathy or Steve, they're the owners.

Thanks guys. I'm new car shopping.
Sounds like it's all the same though.

The internet should be your friend here. Friend of ours was CRV shopping a couple years back, and saved a couple thousand over local prices by driving an hour or two west after searching dealer inventories for what she wanted. She had arranged the deal via phone/email/fax before driving out there, and was very pleased with the result.

I have bought from....

Crown (was in Chapel Hill at the time, now is in Durham near Southpoint)
Accord - sold
Del Sol - sold
Civic - sold

Autopark (Cary)
Civic - still have (this is the one I autocross)

Boyd (Oxford)
Odyssey - still have

Frankly each purchase went. I seems that each purchase is so dependent upon my interaction with the sale person and since I am sure each has moved on (I haven't bought a car from any of them in about 5 years), I can't really recommend any of these over the other. My mother-in-law just bought a CRV from Crown. She tried first at Autopark and their price seemed higher and didn't seem interested in working with her on either price or trying to find what she wanted. I probably would shop at all three again, but would probably go with whoever gave me the best price.

When taking a car in for service, I tend to gravitate toward Autopark for some unknown reason. Probably because I generally continue to be satisified with them each time I visit. I took the Odyssey into Lieth (on Capital) once to have some mechanic items replaced that was the result of a collision. They guy kept going on that they didn't do body work and because of that, they couldn't work on my car. I had to argue with the guy there that I DIDNT want them to repair the bodywork (which was VERY minor) and that I wanted him to replace the bent suspension bits (car had been hit directly on the rear wheel and it bent a rear control arm). Eventually a service manager took over and helped me out. I have not since really considered going back to that Leith location.
