FWIW, you may not need a mechanic - just a sense of adventure. These rigs are easy to work on. Between the tech write ups tech reference , official service manual (free download)mitsubishilinks.com, and the advice from members here, you'll have just about everything you need to fix most things on your ride. Well that and a set of wrenches, sockets, & phillips screwdriver. Honestly, the problems you've listed are really easy to handle yourself - and the money you'll save should pay for most if not all of your tires and suspension.

I agree with this 100%. For two hours of your mechanics labor, you can get some decent tools and for another two hours labor, all the parts you need. Then get dirty and learn, and have fun. The sense of accomplishment that comes from fixing things correctly is great smile
