most typical parts are becoming locally available.
If not the special parts car be ordered from the US.
I know plenty of shops that can execute the work if need be.
I am in Montreal with a X.

most maintenance stuff, you can DIY. if not, its up to you to find a dealer or a mechanic who you would want to get under your evo.
sourcing parts is a bigger problem. i use this vendor for maintenance parts, as i stick with the oem fluids. and i buy my motor oil from superstore.
if you want to go aftermarket, you will need to go to the states for specific evo parts (ie: fluids ad replacement parts). a local dealer might carry them or able to get them parts for you, but they might charge you an arm and a leg for them.
i have the viii, and im from vancouver, bc

You would be surprised how competitive some local shops are.
Perry Performance in Montreal has a ton of stuff in stock and has great pricing.
Don't always have to shop across the border.
