Well its not too important, but I would take it in. It will need an oil change, filter change etc. Also its good to just have it checked out and find if it has any problems before they become too big

CJ recently got his Evo serviced at Midrand - he was happy with their service
- last service I did at Mitsu was about R2000 but that was on my Evo 8 about 2years ago...

|
|
I'm saving up for a Evo 9 or 8 but prefer an 9. Really love the Evo's and decided to put extra money away for one. Have a question though how much is the service cost, if anyone could enlighten me I'll be glad? Interval is every 7500km witch is pretty tight if you drive it a lot. But still i want my dream!
Cheers!

Took my car to Steve for a service yesterday and what a difference that made to her.
Car sounds better and moves much easier.
I missed a service (unintentionally) so the car was running like a dog before yesterday.
Big up to Steve from No Sweat Racing for excellent service.

Not in Meyerton? Which is another 20km's or so, south of Alberton towards Vereeniging. |

Is it possible to service EVO's yourself?
Ive been servicing my car myself now for the past 3 years cause its way... way out of maintenance and service plan.
If it is possible, how simple is it? are all the parts easily accessable? |

Yes, yes and yes.
Very simple, most of us do it ourselves. |
