Any Minis out there in the Huntington/Charleston area of WV? I'm planning to buy a Mini in the next 6 months or so but I was wondering about maintenance - do you take it to the dealer? Or is there a good independent shop around that can do the work??

thanks!!!

 

All the maintenance for the first 36000 miles / 3 years is free from the dealer.

 

I just bought a Mini in OH and they said there was a push to make all BMW dealers Mini Certified. (Maybe someday the BMW dealer in St. Albans will be a possibility for us.) As of now, BMW dealerships are not, so maintenance in WV is impossible if you are wanting someone that is certified = covered under the Mini warranty. Closest for you is probably Cincy. I am in Princeton and plan on taking mine down to Winston Salem. The good news is that they don't usually require much maintenance.
