Re: NW techs...need work done on car
that's something easy you can do yourself. if you want to do a full overhaul of everything, get all new belts, spark plugs and wires, cap and rotor, and do an oil change. one thing that's a little harder is your probably going to want to do your timing belt, and do your water pump at the same time, cause once the belt is off it's just the bolts to take off the water pump, most people do it at the same time that way if your water pump goes out down the road, your not paying another 300+ in labor just to get to it.
back to your question, I don't know anyone in Seattle, but I do have a few buddies up in the mountlake terrace - Everett area that would possibly be willing to do everything for about half of what a shop would charge. all depends on if they have time.
Let me know what your looking to have done and I'll ask around

90K
Although not exactly Acura/Honda by the book, but what SHOULD be done:
t-belt, cam seals, fr crank seal, water pump, possible t-belt tensioner, drive belts, VC gasket set, valve adjust, dist cap/rotor, plugs, brake fluid flush, coolant flush, oil change, MTF, etc to get you ALL set for another 90k. Usually I'll do cam end plug, dist o ring, and VTEC spool valve filter just for kicks, as they're prone to leaking.
If you're interested, one of my good friends still works for Honda of Seattle(most efficient tech there and most trained), he's an old Acura tech and works out of his house for side jobs and does really good work. PM me if you want info...
