Default Reputable shops in the DC area?

I just picked up a 97 SC400 with 129k. Needless to say, I plan to change all the fluids and have the other major items such as the timing belt, water, etc. checked. However, I am not experienced with DIY and would prefer to find an honest shop. I've been spoiled by my shop in San Diego who took care of my S2000 as if it was their own!

If you live in the area of have experience with shops familiar with Japanese cars, I would appreciate some recommendations. A one stop shop for all three of my cars would be ideal!

Lastly, if you could give me a list of things to have checked out (or check myself) on the SC400 that I might have missed that would be great! FYI-It is a clean one owner vehicle.

Best,
Mark
