I was mildly surprised by the service I received here. I needed to replace the manual transmission fluid in my Acura TL and the local oil change place I always go to couldn't do it because they didn't have the right fluid. After calling a couple of places near Playa Vista, only Modesti's said they use genuine Honda MTF. The other places either didn't know what type of fluid they'd use, or spit out some brand I've never heard of. So I decided to suck it up and just pay the premium (~$40 more than the other shop I was considering). I get there and the place is clean, the staff friendly, and they made sure to show me the exact bottles of Honda MTF they were going to use.As I live in Playa Vista they even had a shuttle to take me home while they worked on it. My favorite part was going back to pick up the car. I was expecting to hear some sort of upsell on services I wouldn't need. To my surprise, nothing. Jon just let me know what they looked at and what they changed. We talked about cars for a few minutes and I was on my way.It's hard to knock a star off for high prices, but it's something to consider. I can't say for certain I would have gotten bad service from a place that charges less. I feel reasonably sure that if I went back to Modesti's, I'd get only the work I really need done, but will just have to deal with paying a premium for honesty.
