Getting a EVO inspected in Las Vegas

Hey,

I am looking at a 06 EB Evo in Vegas. Its a private sale. The car was previously modded and now is stock except for clutch and boost controller. I wanna get the car mechanically inspected and make sure its good 2 go!

Is there a Mitsubishi Dealership that u guys recommend OR a shop u guys recommend I take it to?

THANKS!

+1 Always do a compresion test on a car you know was modified and drive the car make sure it shifts good and theres no unusual noises comin form the t-case or the tranny...WEird noises grinding the tranny will probally whine in 1st gear or so thats normal...
