| I can only recommend Mini to service our cars. My boyfriend works for a Repco mechanic shop and they have all the tools etc and he still doesn't want to touch the car ! Is it worth it, when an average mechanic doesn't know about BMW / MINI cars? I know I pay alot for my services, but I know it's done right. On my first cooper, I had all sorts of dramas and my local Mini dealer was pretty good, even get to have a loan car - Cooper S ! Bet the local mechanics don't get you that ! You might also want to check a few threads ago (Feb/March) as it is mentioned there as well. Cheers ks_cooper ![]() - Blacky - 2003 MCS JCW Trouble Maker |

| Only MINI dealers have access to the appropriate diagnostic equipment, special tools and trained technicians to service your MINI. I highly recommend that you look very closely at your options before going with a non-authorised repairer. Steve |

| For oil and fluid changes, I think any good mechanic can do a good job. It is other complex things that certified mechanics must be involved for each type of vehicle. I know BMW charges a lot for an oil change, which I think is crazy. I am doing all the fluid change myself. |
