- If there's some leniency in the interpretation of your warranty... politely ask questions.

Being friendly and having a cool car goes a long way, with regard to dealer service.
this is what i did when i had RSX-S back in time. i went in for condensation on tail light and randomly my assigned Mechanic was honda guy so we talked a lot. he hooked me up on keymatching my hondata K-Pro so didnt have any dealer hassle and hook up pricing as well.

BTW i never go to dealership unless serious warranty needed like engine failure or transmission. minor stuff, i just pay and do it myself. spending 1-3 hours in dealership for 5-10min job is stupid. oh and i cant trust them.
