More good reviews to add: service advisors George Evancho and Peter Reed continue to do well by me. Called up about an issue of concern, got an appointment for the next day, test drove around with "Dr." Tom the head MINI service mechanic as he took his time and really paid attention, left car, drove off in a lovely HyperBlue MC CVT '06. When they couldn't get to my MINI that day, they were very appologetic and, of course, I had their Hyper Blue -
so I was happy. Called the next day to find my concern was nothing serious and had been dealt with appropriately for a nominal fee.
Over at the MINI sales center in Stamford, things continue to be top notch. Everyone is genuinely friendly from the moment you walk in. It's not that forced friendliness that one often meets in "car sales people" where you feel as though $$ are dancing in their eyes as they pump your hand.(By the way, if you haven't seen their version of "The Italian Job" mini poster - you really should.
)...They take the time to talk to you and don't try to "sell" you at all - which is a huge plus in my opinion.
Just decided to trade in my MC for an '06 and within 24 hours everything is hunky dory - a very fair trade, a great new MC CVT on order for June and all is right with the MINI world - thanks, again, to the extra care of
Fabrizio Reda, my Motoring Advisor!
