Taking 7 Yr Old Evo to a Nor Cal Dealer
I've been dealing with intermittent ASC & 4DW system service required gremlins for over year. I'm thinking of taking it back to Concord Mitsubishi, which is where I had my first Evo (also a 2011) serviced for the first couple of years. Has anyone out there had any bad experiences with Concord recently? Any other recommendations? I'm open to about anything in Northern California.

Here's my post from last year on the AYC Pump thread.
Year: 2011
Bought used 12/1016
Mileage: ~56K
Power: Stock
For the last week while driving home from work I get an ASC SYSTEM SERVICE REQUIRED error after about 30 minutes which disables ASC. On most days I also get an 4WD SYSTEM SERVICE REQUIRED error within 15 minutes later. Turning the engine off and on again clears the errors and leaves no codes. Tarmac light is not flashing. See video below for display before turning the engine off.

I'm thinking of replacing the pump. Not sure if I should go to the dealer or have my usual mechanic do it.

Car is seven years old and I really don't care if it's covered by warranty It certainly wouldn't be the most expensive part replaced I'm thinking it could be sensors but really I just want the warnings to stop randomly appearing.

That's good to know. Fairfield is certainly more convenient for me.

Thanks good to know.
Update: Talked to Fairfield Mitsubishi and turns out they do not have the proper equipment to diagnose my problem. They told me nearest shops with equipment are Oakland and Sacramento. So I'm going to contact Sacramento Mitsubishi (the one on Fulton) tomorrow.

Thought I'd close out this thread with an update. The Sacramento dealer was useless. I talked to the mechanic and he did not want to deal with all of the aftermarket wiring (SST cooler and a bunch of gauges). He recommended Overkill Performance in Sacramento. I called them but they seemed very busy and the car's been in a shop black hole before. Ended up taking the car to DSG Performance in Sonoma.
DSG took over the service arm of Works. Works has had mixed reviews on this forum and I have had mixed results as well (although the two tunes I have had there have been spot on). They, and another shop in El Dorado Hills, have done almost all of the work on my current Evo. DSG went above and beyond to fixed the electrical issues and all of the warning lights are gone. They finished some other track upgrade such as big fans on my SSP cooler, finishing brake cooler ducting, accommodating bigger tires, and a harness bare and 4-point harness. All of this was done well and timely.
Car ran great on my first track day of the year was great until one of the new tires failed the first time it got to up to temperature. But that is another thread.
