yeah, idk the whole story and wont say anything over this thread, but basically if you are to drive by tomorrow morning it will be locked and cars will be gone. Everyone else has already left except a few people to take care of last minute stuff. I talked to the parts manager over there today when I went to go pick up an oil filter and the parts dept. was closed.

When I was looking at Evos, the sales guy at Harbour Point Mitsubishi in Everett refused to let me test drive and told me that they were unable to warranty the brakes of an Evo currently in the shop because it had painted calipers.

I'll visit 3rd party shops for maintenance instead of that ****hole of a dealership.

I would say order parts from Russel on here mitsubishiparts.net, he is at the olympia one and they can ship stuff for cheaper, idk...I believe they are a Bruce Titus Company, so they can drop stuff off when they are in town.

Yeah, Vern over at Puyallup Korum Mitsu, in the Parts Dept. does a good job, he's been working for them for years, but Korum in general is retarded. I havent really dealt w/ the Olympia Mitsu, so we'll see.

Joey and I went out with the Mountain crew for drinks last night. I was in such disbelief... Joey was like, they are trying to mess with you to get you to go out with all of them. It is true and that is too bad. So many are without jobs right now... Good luck to them all in the future.

From what Im gathering Mitsubishi shut them down. All Ive heard is rumor's though from customers and other dealers.

Yes, we are Olympia Mitsubishi (Bruce Titus Auto Group) and I can ship stuff up Tacoma for pickup if anyone doesnt want to drive down to Olympia. As far as our service department goes -- I cant answer all those questions. I work out of the Nissan building so Im not working w/ those guys everyday. Feel free to PM me with any service related questions you may have though and I can give you a hand.

I always hate hearing about things like this. Competition or not to our dealer and my site -- did the employees know this was happening? I supsect they didnt and its pretty messed up to have a job one day and the next the business has been shut down completely.

It happens in the auto industry though. Ive seen it happen a few times.

Yeah, Been to Auburn once for service and I was definately not happy with things. At that time, there's another thread floating around here about someone's Evo getting stripped on their lot and they didn't do sh*t to help him out. I really don't care to take my car there anymore. Man, this blows, someone needs to hit up a dealer in the direct Seattle area.
