HOW many people dread the mitsu dealership.
I cant even type how much i hate mitsu customer service and every dealership ive been too. seems like a bunch of pissed off underpaid employees who have to rip customers off because they cant afford a car like it. is it just me or does any one else hate going to a mitsu dealership?
The service guys are pretty cool at my dealer. It just pisses me off that they know that you are going to come in and complain about the same parts that break on every evo, and do nothing to help you fix it knowing that mitsu is to blame.
i mean i really did give up on the dealership too. i went in to get a spider cage for my pressureplate and they wanted 500 for the whole assebmly and i got it from buschur thank god for 20 bucks. i mean really? They must hire the people who seem the most pissed off at life i think lol
I dread the day I have to take the EVO in for service. I haven't done so yet and am new to Mitsu but have heard plenty of horror stories. My local dealership also happens to be a Chrysler and Jeep location. I'm use to owning Hondas so I've never had problems with the service dept.
Mine is polite, but in general they charge a good amount. Going there tomorrow for an oil change and will pay $80. I'd do it myself but all my tools are packed up.
I typically only go to the dealer for warranty work and even then, if it is cosmetic, I just figure it out myself and do it.

It should be a well known fact that dealerships aka "stealer-ships" generate revenue by repair charges.... not trying to be rude but if you are looking for somewhere to take your car for regular maintenance you should seek out a local reputable shop that caters to Evos. If your car is completely stock and something breaks that shouldn't have then by all means get it serviced under warranty for free, but if you are modded I suggest you do a little searching around on the forum for the horror stories... this will only get you so far:

dont know what service you are seeking but usually it is considerably less expensive to do business with a performance shop, and the cats that work there in general aren't hating on you for having an Evo, they have their own project cars and want to help you get yours working right

I've had good experiences so far. The purchase of both of my Evos went very well. I asked for the paint not to be touched and the car not driven without me, among a few other things, and they made an effort to please. I've only had one warranty claim - a peeling steering wheel - and it was handled without a hitch. Service-wise, I've only gone to the dealer for a few oil changes. They were reasonably priced ($50). friendly, and efficient. Generally, I like going there and checking out the cars on the lot, while my oil is changed.
Okay, maybe crappy was a bad term to describe them, but you have to admit that Mitsubishi as a company isn't a model of success being studied in any business school. I still bought the car for what it is but wish the company had a better corporate image and better support/experience at the stealership level.
