Hi;
Due to a redlight runner in an old Camaro, I'm in need of major body repair on an '09 Clubman, and I want to find a place in North Texas that knows what they're doing, preferably one that knows Minis. This car now has only a couple straight body panels - roof, hood, RH doors - and I want a place that can check it for proper alignment and everything else.
Has anyone had experience with the body shop at Sewell in Plano? Anyplace else you might have first-hand experience with?

Thanks in advance,
- R

 

Have you contacted your MINI Dealer to see who they would recommend?? That's where I would start!!

 

That was sorta my question: nearest Mini dealer is Sewell in Plano, and I'd like to know if they're any good before I spend half a day driving down there...

No, let me clarify: this is EXACTLY my question.
I see you're in Washington State; how exactly would you know about North Texas dealers?

 

I don't have a local dealer in SW Washington, my Dealer is in Portland, OR 16mi. away actually. I wouldn't know anything about N. TX Dealers, of course, but I do have an awesome SA whom I rely on to answer questions, such as the best body shop around, I also belong to the local PDX MINI Club who in turn has a couple of Used Car Dealers, a Certified Mechanic who I rely to answer any and all questions relating to MINI, they are all a wealth of information, and once my questions are answered I weight what they have said and my own judgement to resolve the issue at hand.

My suggestion of calling your local dealer was to point out that simply making a phone call to your Dealer would get an answer to your question.
