I had some work done at Axels Automotive in Lake Bluff this summer (leaky power steering pump, and removing some frozen bolts holding on my skid plate).
I was very happy with both their price and service.
Import Service in Glenview can take care of anything and the owner is a really nice guy with good pricing, he also drives a cooper S. www.importservicecenterinc.com is the web address.
good experience at EuroQuipe in the western suburbs
Had an H-Sport 19mm rear sway bar installed on my R56 at EuroQuipe in St. Charles today ... Kurt did the tech work, fast and easy; Brad is the guy out-front to talk to -- reasonable on the labor costs, too
BASIL: 2007 MCS BRG/B 6sp: various electronic and suspension enhancements, Whalen SM, and DoS CAI; less chrome, more black, WAYBETTER speakers, and tow hitch! ... Chicago MINI Motoring Club ... Milwaukee MINIs ... StLouis MINI Club ... High Plains Motoring Society

+1
I use import service center and the owner there is a great guy.
They do a good job and have a reasonable price.
Most important Dan (the owner) owns and drives a Mini
Also in June, Way Motor Works was there installing performance upgrades, so this shop has a commitment to Minis and knows what they are doing

Another shop to consider is VFC Engineering. They are located 4657 N. Ravenswood, just a couple of blocks North of Montrose. This shop specializes in Porsche, Audi, BMW & VW and is branching out to include Mini & Rover.

Anyone else in Chicago have any good or bad repairs with Hubbard Woods Motors in Winnetka, IL - 847-446-0711.
Well, considering that I work there... I give it nothing but praise!!! Just had a 2009 convertible in with a smashed out back window... she is thrilled with the work and thanks us for not having to return to the dealer.
