I know this doesn't help you Huntington Beach, but Frank Leta Honda in
St. Louis provides loaner cars. Three days before Christmas they had to
order a fast idle valve for my 1994 Accord, but wouldn't get the part
till after Christmas. They gave me a 2004 Accord V6 EX loaner for 5 days
at no charge. I did have to refill the gas tank and show proof of
insurance.

I had another repair on this 1994, 6-months ago, and they provided a
loaner car then as well.

We also have a 1994 Camry and the Camry dealer does not provide loaner cars.
