You ask two different questions — 1) a good place for car servicing; 2) a good place for a transmission check.
Others have weighed in on good place(s) for servicing. You don’t identify a/the problem with the transmission. I restore cars — mechanically. I would not take a car experiencing transmission problems to a tire shop unless they specialize in transmission work. Tricky business. That year CRV has a 5 speed auto and it looks like a 90k service interval for trans fluid change. Is the trans skipping, hanging up, or do you simply THINK you need a fluid change? Some shops will want to a “complete flush”. No, no if the car has lots of miles and the trans fluid has never been changed. Better to incrementally change the fluid. Drain a bit, add a bit.
On my cars, a trans problem (shifting, hanging up, etc.) is one of the few times I’d take the car to a WELL/GOOD REVIEWED (Honda) dealer. As I said, trans work is highly specialized. Lots of people take old cars with trans problems to jack of all trades shops, have a flush done and have more problems than the original one. Good luck. My advice — read about that model year on the Honda forums, find a good Honda dealer and take it there.
