On a side note, And, not related to air conditioning, Have you had your valve clearance checked at all? Was wondering if I'll need to do this or not. There is conflicting info floating about, about it.
Thank you

When I took the car there back in Februaryish I was chatting with the service writer and I was talking about the death of the Evo and he mentions the Mirage evo thats supposed to come out and then he shows me a picture of the yellow rendition someone did back in 2012 of what they thought a mirage evo should look like. He was adamant that it was real and going into production. At that point I was suspect on anything he told me. Not to say the whole dealership is like that but I'd be wary on anything they say.
I'll take a look. It's kinda out of the way but maybe I'll get dairy queen for lunch one of these days and head back there.
I'm really not surprised this happened just annoyed. This Mitsu was Rick Case Mitsubishi as of last year I believe so it was just changing hands before it shut down.
Just stopped by the Zoom lot on Broadway and found all the Mitsubishis stored there were gone. I asked a guy working there where they went and he said they are back on the lot at the Hyundai dealership. Apparently, they are selling the Mitsubishis again. I got no explanation about what happened.
I *think* this is their website: http://www.bedfordmitsubishi.com/
I visited the showroom, they had the Outlanders, Mirages, and Lancers in limited numbers. The service & parts department are open too.
Would like to know the back story. Anyway, good thing they got things sorted out, whatever they were.

Any way to prevent this?
Also, I thought the belt was supposed to be serviced way before 75k? Perhaps servicing the belt would have resulted to having the correct tightening specs?
Check belt tension

Im a subsequent owner so my warranty runs out in 5 months. If you get a compressor online is it easy finding garages to install it for you just charging you labor? It seems like some car service centers just want to see you their parts.
Some places will let customers supply their own parts. Some may not. Everyone want's to make a profit on parts. The shops should be able to buy parts cheaper than you can then sell them at retail to the customer. Except for when it comes to places like Rock auto.
But I'm sure shops get tired of customers bringing the wrong parts and having car's stuck in the shop or on a hoist for hours or days until the right parts are acquired. I'd want to charge the customer full shop rate until the customer supplies the right parts or let's the shop just get the correct parts.
With that said it shouldn't be hard to find the right part online. Look up what you want on a Mitsubishi Parts site, look up different years to find out what fits. Regardless of what others say that's the only way to know for sure what'll fit. Or just call the dealer and ask them(if you can get someone helpfull) but most dealers usually want the vin to look up anything.
