Need a mechanic recommendation.

Anybody have the name of a good Mini mechanic/shop in the Mount Pleasant, SC (outside Charleston) area? My sister lives there and has been using a "mechanic" she says never seems to be able to fix anything. Turns out it's a Midas shop. She has a 2005 convertible she is getting rid of and wants a 2015, so that's the one she might need to have worked on down the road.

I’m in Savannah and I know of a shop called Total BMW & Mini in Charleston. I haven’t personally used them myself but I’ve heard good things about them.

https://totalminibmw.com

If the drive isn’t too far, I recommend Nick Colon at ECAutomotiveSpecialistLLC in Daytona. If you look at the social media page on FB or Instagram, you’ll see all MINIs that people come from afar for him work on. He’s reliable and his pricing is very reasonable.

LOL exactly. I don't care for the Tanger outlet while I'm down there to see Nick because I'm already spending money on the MINI but I never pass the Buccee's without stopping. Matter of fact there's 2 Buccees that I pass coming from Savannah. There's one in St. Augustine, FL that I prefer because the one in Daytona is packed always!!!
