Is it just general maintenance or a tuning specialist?

TGM in Fleet is well worth the journey.
Looked after my car for years now.

Thanks I've seen TGM mentioned here before, was hoping for a honda specialist somewhere more local. mainly maintenence check valve clearances/timing chain - or is this fairly straight forward? I am also looking to change exhaust and intake too, although I'm still struggling to decide what to go for :D

I would not be confident taking it anywhere that doesn't specialise in Honda's or jap cars for those jobs.
Intake wise, I was lucky enough to find a mint Gruppe M second hand, but the Tegiwa replica does the same job.
Good luck finding a decent garage.

thanks I'll keep searching, that's what I'm thinking especially re: the chain! main dealer soo expensive (though they are helpful I must admit) are tgm reasonably priced labour wise? and did you fit intake yourself? got one here but my local mechanic is reluctant to start cutting holes lol! it's the cat back I can't decide on ;)

They are very reasonable, my clutch was £475 supplied and fitted.
They also fitted the intake as just wanted peace of mind it was done correctly.

not a bad price! seen they do exhausts too might actually give them a call, still looking around but it can't hurt ;) especially as I'm also unsure of my own cutting skills I've heard fittings fiddly!
