1FastMINI is absolutely the best around, period!
Eddie has performed numerous modifications to my 02 MCS and I could not be happier with every experience I have had with him. I owned VW's before my MINI and I had a mechanic that I just loved, and I was hesitant about buying a MINI because I did not know if I would ever find as good a person I could trust with my MINI. Eddie has exceeded all my expectations and I have to say that I would be lost without his expertise. He is also, a very honest and trustworthy man to boot. That is very important when you are leaving your "baby" with someone to fix up. I am not mechanically inclined at all, and I have complete faith that if Eddie recommends something, it is for the good of the car and my families safety.
If anyone is around the Central Florida area this is THE PLACE to go for all your MINI needs.

Pros:
|
M7 Strut Tower Brace
|
|
Cons:
|
Cannot fit with JCW Intake
|
|
I had originally ordered the Strut tower reinforcement plates but Eddie at 1FastMINI was nice enough to call me up and let me know that the price was going up for the Strut tower brace and now was the time to buy. He saved me $45 by giving me a call and informing me of what was going on.
The tower brace is great, I noticed an immediate difference in the handling of my MINI. The turn in is much sharper and I noticed a decrease in under steer.

I entered the MINI world knowing basically nothing about MINIs. I have been given conflicting advice on what mods I need and don't need for my '08 MCS Cabrio by well meaning friends, but it has been Eddie at 1FastMINI who has clarified things for me time and time again. He has steered me away from products I don't need, despite losing a sale and shown me the advantages of those he felt I could benefit from. I am incredibly impressed with his honesty, integrity, knowledge and ingenuity! He stands behind his products as well as any work he does which is important when you're potentially voiding portions of your vehicle warranty. I have seen him go to great lengths to ensure customer satisfaction and that's why I willingly drive 2 hours one way to have him do all my installations, as do several of my MINI friends. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. If there's anyone I know I can trust my MINI with it's Eddie.

Went in for a basic brake pad change. Calipers seized upon leaving the shop and rotors were toasted. Spoke with Eddie and he said it was bad timing/luck and that the caliper would have seized anyway, and therefore he wasn't in any way liable. He would replace the rotors, etc. for substantially more money (upwards of $1000), but when asked to cut me a break he said he wouldn't charge me for the replacement pad ($50). Wow, thanks. Within days of him "fixing" the problem, the ABS lights went haywire. Brought it back, and Eddie estimated the part alone would be more than $3000 to fix. Again, he said it was bad luck/timing. Decided to go back to the dealer instead. They agreed that, yes, the ABS system would need to be replaced and that the shotty work of whoever did the brakes last was to blame. So that basic brake pad replacement by 1FastEddie cost me more than $4000 in the end.
