I would of got it if was offered, not all markets offer it. so some of us poor saps have to pay for every service out of our pocket. What a bumber. I would of really liked TLC.

I asked this to MINI themselves in the UK a while back, to their knowledge only a handful of people hadn't taken it.

Like you say, why not?! Even on resale it's got to be a really good selling point.

I tried

but the man from MINI he say NO! - THis morning I was the only one on MINI2 not to get email notifications this afternoon I'm one of only a handful not to have TLC perhaps I'm an alien

You are Tip form Tornto (/Ottawa) aren't you? Don't all cars in Canada come with free servicing for 36 months. 'Twas what I was told, and in the brochures.

No, I don't believe they do, at least not in Ontario. I'll be finding out soon with my car's first oil change coming up.

Hi Harry and UUA

This is strange that Britsh Columbia was offered TLC and Ontario was not? You would of thought that it would of been the same accross Canada, does Quebec or Nove Scotia have it?

Charles

Chris Williams · Jan 1st, 2003, 04:22 PM

I think I've read elsewhere on the site that a couple of company car minis haven't been supplied with TLC. The rental companies haven't wanted the TLC, which I presume is so that they can build in higher maintenance costs into the rental price.

Regards
Christopher

minimug · Jan 1st, 2003, 04:52 PM

Harry,

So did you get TLC with your MINI? I'm booking for my first oil change soon. I'm in Quebec and curious to know if the TLC was offered in some places in Canada. I remember the first time I met my dealer he told me service was included but this at the time when none of the information was confirmed. I didn't pay anything for all the adjustments they made so far on the car of course but I don't know if the service is also included.

very mini · Mar 29th, 2003, 01:30 AM

QUEBEC does not offer TLC.

So it's not offered in Quebec but it was offered in some provinces, that's so unfair

You would think a firm like BMW would be fair with all is customers accross the world

very mini · Mar 29th, 2003, 01:15 PM

Quebec SUCKS in a lot of respects.

Starting with the most taxes paid!!

SilverCooper: have you seen many MINIs around? I live in the West Island, and I've seen zero. But going downtown, I've seen more (on average once for every 5 times I go there?)

minimug · Mar 30th, 2003, 05:31 PM

Before you guys over the pond start bleating about your motoring costs, I think you had better check out how expensive motoring in the uk is !!! also on what price you pay for your cars compared to us...so if we have a perk for a change be glad for us
if you are interested we can inform you...
regards

I agree. For starters, gasoline is roughly 4.40USD a (US) gallon here.

I didn't "bleat" about motoring costs, neither cost of living. One thing is for sure, when people on this side of the world complain about high taxes, we make sure never to compare ourselves to Europeans!

minimug · Apr 15th, 2003, 02:34 AM

Fair one mate, and guess wot...our governmrent have just made it even more expensive to run a car..in the budget...glad I did not vote for them....so I at least can drip about it...anyways happy coooo-pering every one

New MINI's in the US get a full 4 year/50,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and 3 years/36,000 miles covered free scheduled maintenance. 24 hour roadside assistance towing and other TLC (BMW has similar packages) benefits are included at no additional cost.

tburt · Apr 15th, 2003, 08:19 AM

No TLC in Nova Scotia, actually it's the first I heard of it. I just brought my MINI back from the dealer today, tire rotation, with a oil and filter change came to $116.00 taxes in.

It was about the same when we brought in our 2002 Volvo V70 in for the same.
