Best dealership to have work done in the bay?

Like the title says, I am looking to have the HFP suspension installed. Preferably at a Honda dealership. Do you guys think one place is as good as another or are there any recommendations out there? I am located near Vallejo...

Thanks!

bump... is it necessary to have the dealer install it in order to not void the warranty?

how are you planning to do this.. im curious.. are you gonna buy them at collegehillshonda.com (coz they are cheaper than dealer price, right?) first and bring them to dealership to have them install? if so how much would labor cost be?
or
are you gonna just gonna go straight to the dealer.. buy them there and have them installed?

ohh good to know.. but i betcha the labor fee is gonna be bitchi~~n.. would it be worth it, considering you get to keep the warranty..
coz i was also wondering about the same thing. i wanna keep my warranty as long as i can.. installing any mechanical part by myself is pretty risky coz im a noob. is installing hfp kit hard anyway?

i dunno about how to install it.. but that warranty is the reason why i would go to honda.. i'm a noob.. the only thing i have done to my car was a cold air intake.. then put it back to stock cause of a ticket

just dropped my car off at the dealership, they are charging me 1081 to install the HFP suspension and i even provided the parts. They are charging me separately for front and back labor. plus alignment. what a rip!?! This is at Capitol Honda btw.
