Mitsu Dealer Warranty

accidentally showed up to a dealer with a manual boost controller and they said "u know your warranty is void because of that" anyway, do they report my vin in some Mitsu wide data base and now im screwed or do they just normally keep that as a local record and is it worth as shot to go try for warranty repair at another mitsu shop? thanks.

Warranty's are a pain to deal with when your car is modded. Just try and go to another dealership with minus the mods. good luck.

Your fine. Just go to another dealership. Mine was also void at the first dealer, went to another and got a new transfer case. A relative of mine is a Lead Tech at a dealer and told me to take it to another dealer, other dealers won't know that you were denied warranty. They don't share customer info with another dealer.

I guess things changed. Transfer case was replaced 5 years ago. To the op, hopefully things work out.
