Another reason to avoid main mini dealers- boss had an accident and needed a new alloy, arch trim and tyre. The parts dept said atthe time -'no probs we can get the alloy in next day etc' ..two weeks later the car was ready to collect.
Why? They also provided a courtesy car and the bill to her insurance company for the courtesy car hire (another minging new shape mini)….£2,000.
Previously they had asked her for £1,300 for a new electric motor sensor for the convertible roof when it failed.
Wonder why main dealers are called stealers sometimes.. 🙄
justme- I've owned a 54plate Cooper. Its a rough and agricultural engine IMO. Any decent garage should be able to work on it outside the Mini warranty period.
