Preferrably non-dealer (since the dealer mis-diagnosed the problem to begin with!) but will use a dealer if HIGHLY recommended, Honda certified technicians, use Honda OEM parts, etc., etc.

Turns out I may need main bearing work on my 1994 Accord EX.
And I'm new in Los Angeles.

Thanks for the help!

 

i know that the dealer is expensive but if you dont find a good shop go to scottrobinson honda in torrance they are good.but $$$$$$$$$$$$ expensive al dealers are. they do have a website http://www.scottrobinsonhonda.com

Welcome to LA, where **** cop, mad skilled theives and ricer ruin everything..jk
what kinda service you looking for?

 

Thanks for the replys!

Here's what I noticed:
A "knocking/rattling" sound at around 1750-2000 rpm (in neutral or when shifting 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. 4-speed auto.)
Not noticable when engine is cold. Has to warm up to hear it.
Dealer originally said it was the B-pipe; replaced, not the answer.
Now they say it may be the main bearing.
A friend listened to it and thinks it may be a wrist pin.
Also, engine seems generally noisy. Almost, but not quite, like a diesel. (Never owned a Honda before, so don't know if this is normal.)
Other than this the engine seems to run well.
Any thoughts?

 

could it be the imfamous "Buzz kit" problem?

 

Thanks again for the replies.

Not familiar with the "Buzz kit" problem. (Not extremely automotively minded and very new to this forum.) Will do a search.
Leaving now to check out International Auto Repair...


After doing a search, I suspect that may have been a joke...
