Just bought a 2002 MCS and I love the way it drives, but I'm already looking for someone to work on the darn thing, does anyone know of a good Mini Mechanic in Wichita Kansas?

 

welcome... congrats too

 

Bavarian Automotive 1630 E 2nd Street North just west of the canal rt. Maurice runs the shop.
Joe Self BMW East of Rock Rd. on Kellogg can also provide some service.

Also, check out http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/WAMO_KS/ You'll find me there under our tag name of Friskie along with a great bunch of MINI enthusiasts.
We gather someplace for a casual evening the third Friday of the month. December's has not been decided upon yet but when it is, hope to see you there.

Motor on

 

Welcome to the forum, sounds like some good advice was handed out.

 

Thanks for the info, I have an appointment on the 10th.

 

Let us know how it went and if your expectations met the reality.

Be sure to log in to WAMO too and introduce yourself at our next gathering. If for nothin' else, its just a lot of fun to park a bunch of MINI's together in some parking lot for a while and bask in the mutual admiration society.

 

Welcome to NAM ....hope to see you around town sometime.

 

Have had all of my post warranty service done by Bavarian Auto and I couldn't be happier. Maurice et al are the best PS-welcome to the MINI community

 

 

Well I took my Mini to Bavarian Auto on 10 Dec and and got it back 46 days later. My Mini was diagnosis with a warped head, so Maurice sent the head out to be resurfaced and a full valve job. While he had the head off I had him replace the Spark plugs, water pump, Thermostat, Temp Sensor, oil pressure switch, air filter and I had an oil change. After all this Maurice could have taken full advantage of me and stuck me with a VERY large bill, but he didn't. He only charged me for 9 hours of labor and I know it took him longer than that. If you are in the Wichita area and need your Mini or BMW worked on, you would be a fool not to take it to Bavarian Automotive, Inc. bavarianautomotive.com 316-263-3661

 

You are very fortunate to have such a good Independent mechanic close to you. Most of us do not. Welcome to the MINI world!!!
