I say DH when Stoney was there I'd already built the rapport with him and now he's not there any more. I just don't get a good vibe from the new guy.

I will say the guys at DH Plano have been pretty nice too, although I prefer it when Ken works on my car at DH Plano.

That said, the biggest issue I have with Lewisville is that they didn't want to sell me a car last May. Don talked to me, on his day off, over AIM.

I would take my car to DH if I had a warranty. On the bright side I can do my own ext. warranty work. My "head gasket failure" at the Tx mile was covered.

i didn't try for more. i could have got it all covered but wanted to build it and not put a Greenleaf special in. Only 3 votes so far. There has to be a few more Evos that have a "warranty" out there.

Ext. warranty>Factory "warranty"
F' Mitsu rant over

your warranty ends the second you drive the car off the lot with an evo so the correct answer is no shop b/c your warranty doesnt exist

We do more Evo warranty work and evo work than any other dealer in North Texas, we also have the best trained service staff my newest guy in Irving has been working on Mitsubishi's for 11 years and 3/4 of our techs are Mitsubishi master techs. In spite of Denver's feelings we do honor the Mitsubishi warranty on Evo's, I can only think of one time that I disagreed with Mitsubishi's decision. They will honor the warranty exactly as stated in your warranty book.

Don, my comment was all in good fun just to get a laugh!
It was nothing about you or your dealership and the warranty work you do. You do a lot for the community, and I know you do everything in your power to cover warranty issues as well as everything you can do the help the evo community. I recommend your dealer ship to anyone needing dealer work .
