    Hello I am a newbie

    Hello Everyone. I am new to this site. I own an white EVO ix and I am a single parent with a special needs child. I'm hoping to connect with other EVO lovers to get advice regarding maintenance. I really need to find an awesome EVO mechanic that I can trust. As a woman, I have had mechanics try and take advantage of me and rip me off. I really need to meet a good mechanic who is honest and understands my situation as a single mom. I would really love to take my EVO to RRE as I am reading positive posts from other people. Santa Fe Springs is a bit of a drive from my special needs son and I. I would like to find someone local. I live in between L.A. and Bakersfield. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated!!

    Welcome! We also have KTMotoring in Charsworth and Massimo Power. Both highly recommended shops!

    Hey, welcome! RRE is my top pick and have been going there for the better part of a decade. However, i keep hearing great things about KT Motoring and if you need to stick close to home i don't think you can go wrong with KT.

    Hello. My poor baby needs a new cat, timing belt, serpentine belt, and possibly a new water pump. I think the clutch is wearing out too! The clutch was fairly used when I purchased it from another evo buddy. She needs and oil change, which I usually do myself, except the ground has been covered with snow and it's freezing cold. No garage to work in.

    I've been going to Tuning Technologies in Colton for my maintenance needs. Really convenient for inland empire folks.
