New Long Beach MINI General Manager

Hello all, my name is Kellan and I just took over the Long Beach MINI store. Just wanted to put my contact info out there. If I can be of service to anyone in the community, please reach out.


I'd like to get my dealership active in the local MINI community. Let me know if you have any cool ideas.

Hi Kellan,

Here's a thought, the GM at the Mini dealer close to me in the SFV wouldn't hear of this.

Why are parts and accessories so expensive to buy locally?
I now mail order from a dealer in the Southeast, as their advertised prices are no where near what my local dealer wants.
E.G.
A base roof rack $255.00 at my dealer, I ordered one from the southeast dealer for $173.00 plus shipping.
Under $200.
I won't even bring up my Toyota dealer, charging over MSRP for parts!!


Be NAM community friendly? Maybe a NAM coupon?

@TVPostSound Yeah, that's a great idea. I have no idea why someone would refuse to discount parts and accessories. A sale is a sale, right? I'll check a few prices tomorrow. I'm happy to be *NAM-friendly*!


p.s. I just transferred from a Toyota dealer in Florida...I agree, the parts are far too much!
