Guys I have some Big News To share with you all.
I recently had a very bad experience with the Mitsubishi Dealer here in Auburn. In my entire life I have never meet a bigger a$%^&@ then the Manager from Service. I took my car in to the shop because the tire was making noise when I was driving. They changed the bearing on the left wheel and the noise was still there. I took the car back and they said they can’t figure out where the noise is coming from. Then after a few hours of F$#$# around they came back and told me that the Trans. Input Shaft Bearing is gone. Guess what the manager voided my warranty because of my MBC. I will sue him, that is in the works already. So they tough they got rid of me. Right!!!
Well I went to two different shops around here and none of them where able to tell me for sure what the problem was. They didn’t even bother too much because I asked them to do it for free I guess. Now Hear this.
I went to:
Firestone John Stone
27030 Pacific Hwy. South Store Manager
Kent, WA 98032 253.839.5670
They sent out a tech with me in the car. When I told him what the dealer said he laughed. I kid you not, the tech found out what the problem was in less then 4 minutes. I could not believe it. It was the bearing on the right tire not the left. After we got back to the shop he lifted my car and literally spent almost 30 minutes inspecting everything under the car. EVERYTHING… Man he pointed out what things I need to change soon and things that are in perfect shape. They gave me a killer deal on all my tires. They did an alignment and balanced my tires like you would not believe. John Stone or Robert Rodriguez and the other guy I am sorry I forgot his name, but they are all very nice and very helpful. I talked to them and they can do almost any suspension job. Any tire and alignment job. I mean they are really good and their prices are just incredible. They beat about any shop around this area hands down. If you guys care and want someone good to work on your Evo’s or STI or any other car, they are the ones to go to.
Guys Thank You for the great job.

I've taken my car to that Firestone and they seemed to be a good bunch of guys, but the only problem was that I couldn't get my car on their lifts and I purchased the lifetime alignment from'em.
