Beyond that it's more if there are any recalls or hotfixes you haven't been told about or reflashes/updates for the ECU. They can also do an SQL with their MUT3 machine that a non dealer won't have access to.

It's been privately serviced since 30k worth getting serviced at the stealers for any ecu updates etc. Or am I better off getting the service done at my own mechanic then going the stealers just for the ECU etc stuff? Has anyone else done this?

Hi guys, I called round today & was told
that for my 90k service,
$1500 (about) Cardiff Mitsubishi (no timing belt, do it at 100k)
$1770 Newcastle (included timing belt)
Now do I need to have services don't at a dealer or can any qualified mechanic
do it & stamp the book. What can Mitsubishi mechanics do
(Other than Warranty issues) that a non Mitsu Mech can do?
Cheers guys

1. You are assured that particular tasks are done, eg. I've had two definite instances where a fuel filter has not been replaced at a dealer service - usually only picked up when you do your own at the next pitstop.
2. Cost is hugely less.
3. You can use better quality components.
4. You can make sure dirt doesn't get into the engine when doing jobs.
5. You don't get oil/grease over the carpets and seats.
etc, etc,
If you feel the need you can get a mechanic to check over your work at some stage or get a dealer to stick the anal probe on your ride to check ECU alarms, software, etc.
