It is nice to not have to pay for every $65 dollar change, but it is kinda BS that they tell you every R.S.M. is at 5k not 3k. I have 18k on my car now and got my first letter from mitsu this week that I need to come in for my first tuneup. I have a AMS stage 1 and am not nervous about taking it in. Everything they are servicing has nothing to do with what I changed, except the MBC. AFC is out of sight. 
Lexat20...have you had any good experiences around here with mod friendly dealers. Heard from a few that Biggers in Elgin was ok but not Schaumburg, what do you think?

You may come back in 10-20k miles with a powertrain problem, and they may suddenly say, "Ah, well, you've had Mods X, Y, and Z for 15k miles, so that's not covered." Or, they may be cool and only deny a claim if it was obviously caused by a specific mod.
