Hi I recently just relocated to Worcester, MA and am wondering if anyone knows any good repair/service/tune shops for evos in my area? I need to have my front axle installed. I have the part just need a shop to do it. Also maybe get a tune for what I have on the car. Thank you.

P.S. I googled searched really quick and saw Enhanced Street Performance and Kaizen Tuning. Any reviews or personal experience with either shop?

 

Kaizen is a highly respected shop in New England and they are probably THE shop to go for tuning. They are also very busy all year round and a little selective of their clients. If you can't get a spot, there is also AMS Performance in Chicago (which many forum members don't like because AMS products are more expensive) and Ivey Tune in Linden, NJ.

You should also join the NEEVO club on Facebook, which, after years of cultivating by Mr. PandaPower, has become a warm, close-knit group like family.

 

Thank you for the input. So they most likely won't be able to help me install my axle lol. I'll definitely look for that group. I was trying to look for one before I came out here.

 

You may call and ask Kaizen to find out. Willing Mitsubishi dealers can also help you install parts. I've been going to Michaud Mitsubishi for service and repair and they are great.

Maybe it's the dialect difference, but I don't get what you mean by your "axle." To me, the front axle is the shafts that drive the front wheels and they come stock in my car. Maybe you mean the front coilovers, front chassis brace(s), front suspension ball joints, front suspension adjustable arms, or front axle lift system. Whichever it is, both Kaizen and Mitsu dealers should have no problems installing them for you.

 

No you had it right. Axle as in the part that comes out of the engine and attaches to the wheel. My boots are ripped on it so I'm replacing the whole axle. I'm going to call kaizen and see if they will install it for me and if so how much they charge. It just sounded like kaizen only focuses on performance parts and tuning to me.

 

Shops like that always tend to do 'regular' work as well. I'd hit them up and get that + a tune they are well regarded. Also I think their Sakura exhaust sounds awesome, one I am sorely tempted to get.

 

ok ill hit them up on monday then and see how much they charge.
