Shop recommendations in the Phoenix area?
Hey y'all,
Anyone have any good shop recommendations around Phoenix AZ that is familiar with MINIs? I have a R52 Cooper S and the shops I've used in the past either fear Minis and won't touch them or seem unfamiliar with the little quirks of the cars (such as one shop that installed an oversized serpentine belt only to have it snap on me a couple days later leaving me stranded at 3 am :D)
I don't mind if they aren't the cheapest, I just want someone who knows what they are doing and I can trust.

My buddy and I have used BABBITT MOTOR WERKS with good results on both our R53. Babbitt will work on modded MINIs but not install those mods. As shown, 3 locations but we used only the Scottsdale shop being the most convenient one to our rural home turf. We would use them again.
WRT replacement s-belt, thinking they'd only be prepared to install an OEM equivalent. If your s-charger pulley is reduced size (15-19%), you'd probably need to provide the correct belt corresponding to that. Likely same with other shops.
