Hey all,
Noob here. Purchased an already modded Evo from a NY dealership. I went to a southern NJ dealership for a simple oil change today and got lectured about warranty and how my aftermarket cam gears might void my powertrain warranty and that if I brought the car in for a problem, he would deny it unless someone from Mitsu says otherwise...I know this is crap, but when I got my receipt, on the comment section, it had "mission upper timing belt cover, change cam gear, and installed turbo booster" <--( he meant the hallman manual turbo boost). Is this one of those comments that they send out to other dealerships, alerting them about my warranty? I read in other post about this alerting system...and was just curious if this is the samething.

 

YEAH, I THINK IT'S A SYSTEM THEY PUT TOGETHER SO THAT IF YOU BLOW YOUR MOTOR OR ANY PART OF YOUR POWERTRAIN AND THEN PUT YOUR STOCK PARTS BACK ON, THEY CAN LOOK BACK AND SEE THAT AT ONE TIME YOU HAD INTAKE, EXHAUST, CAMS, BOOST CONTROL, OR WHATEVER AND DENY YOU WARRANTY WORK . WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME IF ALL THEIR SYSTEMS ARE LINKED TOGETHER EITHER. KIND OF SHADY, BUT THATS MITSUBISHI FOR YOU. I KNOW ON MY SERVICE RECIEPTS IT STATES THAT I HAVE AFTERMARKET INTAKE. THAT'S JUST WHAT I THINK .

 

wow, guess I won't be doing any go mods for a long time, just show for now

 

Yea your guys if you take your car in for service please take off our mods.

There is one dealership that I know of that will not report mod's to Mitsubishi Corperate. That Union Mitsubishi Down town Los Angeles. The Even have a discount set up for EvoM members.
