What is it you need done?

How far are you willing to drive to an Evo friendly shop?

Here's a Bakersfield specific thread you will get better results in...

I'm willing to drive 2-3 hours so long as it's an EVO friendly shop. We are 1 1/2 hours north of Santa Clarita, CA. I just need minor upgrades like brake lines , brake fluid flush that prob any mechanic can do but I would feel better if they have experience in working on our cars.

Check out the thread I posted above and also check out www.socalevo.net

It might be a little far for you but it's worth the drive to see the guys at:

FFTEC MOTORSPORTS
31911 Hayman St
Hayward 94544
510-475-5855

Ask for Mike or Aaron

Tuning shop in Los Angeles recommendations

Hello. I need to find a local tuner shop to check out the Evo. COBB AP maps are giving me lot of issues. I have never done a pro tune before, so please recommend some friendly shops! location is fairly important. I'm in Walnut 91789. But anywhere around Los Angeles is fine. thank you!!

30k Service - Location Suggestions

So my '13 is nearing 30k and need to get that service done.
I recently moved to Bakersfield, CA and wanted to know if anyone out there knows of a good shop to have this service done.

From what I've read the local Mitsu dealer service department is horrible

Would definitely appreciate any suggestions

Man Bakersfield is tough. Not much out there. About an hour and a half or so away is road race engineering. They know their business and I never have a problem recommending them. Been going there since my 1g, then 2g, then gvr4, to my Evo. Not one problem has been had with the work or prices. If it was me I would forgo the dealer and schedule a day to head out there. They are cool guys and don't bs you.
