Is it the PitPass coupon book? I've been waiting for mine for a long time. Can you post some pics?

When did you buy your Evo ? And so how long has it been to get the care package / pit pass.

I managed to get my Evo without the Pitpass. I don't trust anyone but me to do maintenance on my car... too many times watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off to hand the keys over to any stall-monkey...

Smart getting the pitpass,that way all your servce s paid for in advance.I think it is folish not to,too many people think they are a mechanic and when something screws up,they bring to the dealership to that"stall monkey"and then want them to fix there screw up!

Just got my package too,they are back ordered,some dealers are keeping them and making the customer pay for it.

That's funny, when I found out about the pit pass in this forum, I actually tried to buy it.... My dealer, CARMAX, wont sell them I keep telling folks, go get your EVO at the Carmax in Kennesaw, GA. They sell them for under MSRP and don't even offer the pit pass, much less make you buy it....
Of course, if you want the pit pass... Well, I don't know where I can buy one. I've asked other dealers but they just give me a run around and I never hear from them again. I guess there just isn't enough money in those pit passes to make it worth their while to sell them...

I didn't buy the pitpass. I thought it was foolish to buy it. For starters, there is no discount. Secondly, they get to keep and use my money at no benefit to me. Third they charge way too much for the same oil I can buy and bring with me (saving quite a bit of money each oil change). Personally, I felt I made the more prudent choice.

Keep the receiptd for oil and filter, log the changes, and you're golden. Pay way too much for both on a Pitpass, have to work your car into their schedule (losing day long access to it for a 20 minute job), and trust them not to damage/mishandle/drive/etc your car... seems pretty cut and dried to me.

Plus I think more than a few of us have more than minimal mechanical ability...

exactly!

save bodywork, I have never taken a car into the shop... don't plan to start now. I am more then qualified to do routine (and not routine) maintaince on an Evo.

Last one... interestingly enough I cancelled my Pit Pass a month ago, and this thing still showed up. I guess I'll return the coupon book to the dealer/plan administrator, but think I'll hang on to the hat. That'll be the most expensive hat I own, then, $50.
