I'm in a similar situation. I moved to Bako from Florida about a month ago and need to get the 30k mile service on my Evo done.

Is KT motoring the closest reliable Evo shop around?
The only other shop I know around is RRE.

Thanks for the info

look up yimisport tuning. its a mitsu/subi friendly shop, in fact thats all they work on.
its in santa clarita off ruhether ave. they're great guys with tons of knowledge. plus they got a dynojet dyne in house to tune your ride after. tunes start at $400 for pretty much unlimited runs on the dyno until your **** is running how you want it.

Question Absolute best Evo shop on the west coast

Hi all,

Who do people consider to be the absolute best shop on the west coast specializing in Evo's?

Typically I do work myself, but there are certain things (in this case transmission work) I prefer a shop to do, in the interests of time. I've had issues with the shop I've used in the past, so I was wondering what people thought of the west coast as a whole. I'm willing to travel for a shop that really pays attention to all the details and has both deep knowledge and an experienced staff to do the work (a lot of places may have a great senior guy/shop owner, but then use junior inexperienced guys to do the actual work!)

Thanks!

S.

English Racing in Washington ( Portland Oregon border) is one of the best if your looking at the West Coast as a whole.

FFTEC isn't accepting new evos, only existing ones IIRC.

fftec don't do evo, especially evo x anymore. it doesn't many new or old customer. They refused to re-tune my car. recommend James @ SpeedElement. He's a wizard.

No. We are usually booked a week or two out.

Well, anyone is welcomed to stop by the shop during business hours. But to get a tune or service, it needs to be scheduled.
