Hi All,

I'm new to DC, and my '03 MCS is nearing service. I'm about 10 miles south of DC in Southern Maryland, so the three dealers listed on MiniUSA.com are about equally inconvenient. Does anybody have experiences you can share (good or bad) on Tate, Sterling, or Towson?
I'm also concerned about an experienced staff, as I might need some diagnostics on a tapping noise I've discovered recently. It's coming from the driver's side, near the air intake. Doesn't sound like it's coming from the internals, and only noticeable at idle or low speeds. Doesn't appear others have had a similar noise according to my forum searches either. I've already had to replace the supercharger at 1200 miles, so I'm hoping this problem will be as painless as possible.

Thanks in advance for all your inputs...

Jason
