Mini Service in Georgia

I just purchased an 08 Cooper S used and am loving every minute of it. I'm having problems finding a dealer though. The original owner bought the extended service contract and I want to take advantage of it. Recently I went to Mini of S. Atl for an oil change and they told me I needed new tires which I was aware of. A week later my low tire pressure warning light went off. I checked all my pressures and they were fine. I reset the TPMS and the light went out. So I think they just did not reset it and one of my valve stem caps was missing. Then I found out they were owned by Nalley and I'll never go back due to a bad experience I had at one of their Jeep dealers. I looked around at GI when I was thinking of buying new and they seemed really cold plus I haven't read anything good about their service online. It looks like my only options now are either Greenville or Birmingham. Anyone have any opinions on either one?

Why not Global Imports BMW/Mini off 285 of United BMW/Mini off 85 in Duluth?

Sorry. Global Imports was who I was talking about in my post when I said GI. I was up there and didn't really like their attitude plus I haven't read anything positive online about them. They're really convenient to my work so if anyone has a good experience I'd love to hear it.

I'd give MINI of South Atlanta or Global Imports another try before driving all the way to B'ham or Greenville. It would be a shame to have to do that when you already have two dealers in town, and what if you weren't happy with the dealers in B'ham or Greenville?

I've had my MINI serviced at both ATL dealerships and never had a problem.

Try Sport Motoring in Decatur. They have a website. www.sportmotoring.net I believe it is. They seem very knowledgeable and work on Mini's. I think you will like them. Fair prices from what I hear as well
