MINI Mechanic on LI

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic on long island with MINI experience that can put in some after market parts for me? Nothing extreme initially just the H+R springs at first.

There's really nothing on that website, not even their address and a search on google maps for "minispeed near levittown ny" turned up nothing as well.

Thanks!

According to their site they're two turns and 1.7 miles from my house. This could be sweet.

My backyard is right on Jerusalem. I actually pass that house all the time going to my grandparents house.

What company do you work for? I used to work for the Geek Squad when they first came around and were actually good.

very easy place to get to, and also very very nice guys. good to work with, and very honest. i plan on going to them for the more difficult installs. the CAI was a breeze, but springs, rear sway, and stuff like that i cant do myself.

Are you replacing the struts when you install those new springs? If you're willing to go the DIY route I can help you out with the install. I have air tools, spring compressors, etc.

I'm gonna be real with you, you don't need to go to a MINI specific body shop, just an excuse to charge you more. Here check this out, it may be biased because its the body shop I work at but they just did an M7 super-ags intake, new paint job, and did my H&R springs....
