Does anyone know of a trustworthy shop that knows Minis near Palm Springs, CA or in the Coachella Valley? Thanks!

 

If no one jumps on this, here's a link that might be of help.

^^^ Good link - bookmarked! Found 2 of 3 within several listed were those I've contacted (first used within days of purchase and second currently on alignment/balancing aspects).

I know the P-S area being former SoCal native but seems unlikely the OP will find specialty shops there. My small AZ town of prox 17k has a few good shops best suited to jeeps and trucks (which I also own), so instead must head prox 100 miles 1-way into the greater Phoenix area for shops with technicians trained on things BMW/MINI.

BTW - P-S is a very long way from NC...

 

Thanks for that link!

 

Welcome. My guy is just short of an hour away with a micro brewery nearby. Good luck with something like that.
