Around us here there are dealers going out left and right. Mostly GM though. Luckily the company I work for has been getting all the business with their GM and Ford stores.

 

Eh? I don't know where you got that info, but it is incorrect. I would LOVE it if they moved to Hillsboro. I work in Hillsboro, and it would be so convenient for me to get my evo serviced if Bvtn Mitsu moved there. But sadly, if you call Beaverton's old phone #, the answering machine tells you to go to Town & Country Mitsu in Milwaukee. I spoke with the service advisor at T&C, and he said basically all Mitsu dealers in the Portland metro area have closed except them, and they now service a very large geographical area that extends to Idaho and the Oregon coast. I wish you were right, but you're not, and I am really sad to see all these dealers gone. I am shocked that even Dick Hannah Mitsu in Vancouver Wa. closed shop. They are a huge dealership, and I almost bought my evo there too.

 

Hmm, I was in for an oil change in mid-December and the service advisor, Jack, told me he was moving along with the rest of the service department to Hillsboro, I think to the Hyundai dealership that's also owned by Premiere Auto Group. I'm not positive if that's the place, tho. He said he'd still take care of me there. I'm not sure if I want non-Mitsu techs working on the car, but I should still get my free oil changes.... we'll see. I guess I could just start doing them myself, but hey, free is free.

 

Hey, I knew Jack! He's a great guy, and an extremely competent service advisor. I'm glad he's landed on his feet in the midst of this turmoil. But i don't think I'll take my car to Hyundai. If I'm taking it to a dealer, it will have to be a mitsu dealer, so I know the techs have been trained to work on my car. It's also important to know that they stock all the right parts which are original equipment from Mitsu. If I were going for someplace other than a mitsu dealer, I might as well take my chances and find a cheaper independent shop. I think you'll enjoy doing the oil changes. Every oil change on my Evo since it was brand new was done by me, and I loved doing every single one of them!
