20k is a tad on the frequent side, but if its not synthetic, then ya, I would. But then I would just make the change to synthetic and change at the normal 40 or 50 k interval

A little off topic, but I'm looking to get myself and Lancer, and I've already spoken to a few sales reps at Markham and Scarborough Mitsubishi. It was a horrible experience, and I actually walked out heatedly on both occasions.

My next stop would've been to Maple, because I've heard nothing but good things about Corey. But I guess it's a little too late now.

So my question is, can anyone recommend a good dealership, or better yet, a specific sales rep, they would recommend?

i've bought/serviced my ES at Dixie mitsu and so far so good - i walked out of brampton mitsu when shopping for a car


however i find that the techs arent that knowledgeable about the vehicle specifics... i overheard an argument about service intervals for the Evo X and it sounds like they seemed confused - i've also asked some specific questions about the cars usage (i dont remember exactly what now) and it seemed as if they just didnt know


i used to work for Bell and customers would ask specific questions about usage of the equipment (tv/internet/phones) and i could answer as i actually had all this equipment and used it everyday and made an effort to learn about what i was working with - it really felt like the technicians worked on Mitsubishi's and were trained by Mitsubishi, but otherwise had NEVER driven or used one outside of the parking lot

The techs at the dealer ARE confused. There are a few senior ones out there with the good knowledge and experience, but they are very few and far between.

Get a copy of the factory manual for your model if you can (legal copies are available if you know where to look), and review it carefully before any service. If in doubt about the competence of the dealer staff you will be dealing with, bring a printout of the appropriate section of the manual dealing with the service you are having done with you and make sure they read it!

shoot me an email and I will put you in contact with a few dealerships, both in the states if your looking to save money and here in the GTA.

Just be very clear with what you are looking for. I have been given access to a database to look up vehicles, and there is a strange change up to the new cars that are coming as well.

I wanted to share a good service experience for a change.

Had a valve stem replaced under warranty at Dixie. No BS, just good service.

That's not good if Raymund has left Scarborough. The rest of the goons at Scarborough aren't great to deal with.

Evan at Dixie is a good service manager. From the sounds of it, he might be the only good one left in the GTA.

I wish I could have helped you but I'm in my last week at Richmond Hill Mitsubishi. I would recommend Kaleb at Barrie Mitsubishi as a nice and fair guy to deal with.
