30,000k service
All,
I'm about 2,000 mile away from the big 3.0. Was wondering if anyone got their 30k service done somewhere else besides at a Mitsu dealership. Looking for a place that does quality work and great price. I think Mitsu is asking around $400+ to do this. Thanks.

No... there are two different maintenance schedules in your owners manual that you could go by. There is regular (for regular driving and commuting with mostly highway) and there is a severe schedule, which requires more frequent services. I only ask because if you are going by the severe schedule, then the 30k service will include belt changes. If your dealer is quoting you that price including that, I'd take it without batting an eye. It's not going to get any cheaper than that. On the other hand, if you're going by the regular schedule, that quote is a bit high. In fact, if it's on the regular schedule, I'd suggest doing the work yourself since it would be fairly simple.

Well then I'd suggest doing it yourself. If you want a good shop to do it for you, the first shop that pops in my head is CBRD. I've heard really good things about LaScuola Motorsports as well (see post#5). I very well may be going to them a lot since they're practically down the road from my house. As for you, I'm not really sure how close or far these shops are, but it may be worth it considering how much you want to baby your Evo. I would highly discourage you from taking it to an average shop, you're way less likely to screw anything up if you use these forums for directions and do it yourself. Hope this helps.

Check Lascoula Motorsports.. great shop. These guys will take care of you. There is a reason they get good feedback, which likely won't be the case with any of the dealership mechanics.
My car has not and will never see the dealership techs..ever. (92k miles) I do the work, or the shops, such as Lascoula for the mtfw! Plus you get a cookie Mitsubishi doesn't give cookies..

Thanks for the info. I have a quick question. How long does the 30ker service take to get done? I see by ur sig, you guys are located in MD. I"m in VA, next to Tysons corner, so getting to you guys is tough if I have to drop if and leave it for a day. Oh yeah, another question is, is it possible to watch? It interesting to me.
