Our MINI services. From the Cooper to the Countryman.

A MINI is small, quick and full of character, and it needs a shop that understands it. MINI is part of the BMW Group, and newer MINIs share their engines and electronics with BMW, so our BMW experience carries straight over.

Because we work on these cars every week, we know their weak spots and what to check before they get expensive.

  1. Scheduled maintenance

    Oil changes, filters, spark plugs and brake fluid, on the schedule your MINI’s service indicator sets.

  2. Diagnostics and warning lights

    We read every module and find the real cause of a warning, from the engine light to the airbag light.

  3. Timing chain and engine repair

    Cold-start rattles, oil leaks and misfires, fixed before they turn into a bigger engine repair.

  4. Cooling system repairs

    Water pumps, thermostat housings and expansion tanks, so your engine never runs hot.

  5. Brakes and suspension

    Pads, rotors, struts and control arms that keep the go-kart handling MINIs are known for.

  6. Clutch and gearbox

    Clutch replacement and gearbox service for manual and automatic MINIs.

Common MINI problems we fix. What MINI owners bring in most.

Timing chain rattle

On 2007 to 2013 Cooper and Cooper S models, a rattle for a few seconds after a cold start often means a worn timing chain or tensioner.

Oil leaks

The oil filter housing gasket and valve cover gasket are the usual suspects. Oil on the drive belt or exhaust causes bigger trouble, so we fix it early.

Coolant leaks

Plastic thermostat housings, water pumps and expansion tanks crack with age. Watch for a sweet smell or a low coolant warning.

Carbon buildup

Turbocharged Cooper S engines with direct injection build up carbon on the intake valves. As a result, they misfire and run rough.

Turbo oil leaks

Oil lines on Cooper S and John Cooper Works turbos can leak or clog. You may then see smoke or feel the engine lose boost.

Electrical faults

Window regulators, sensors and battery drains. We find the cause with diagnostic tools instead of swapping parts until it works.
