I am roughly 60 miles from the closest dealer. Do you think that would be an issue with repairs? I know I would have to take it in for service bulletins but what about other repairs?

 

I'm 70 miles away. Some people are 900 miles away. You and I are lucky. If there's ever anything that disables the car, we can get a tow from AAA.

 

I figure I could tow it in with my motorcycle.

 

I live in the Seattle area now and have to go to Tacoma to the dealer. Moving in a month to Columbus, MS and then I'll have 177 mile motoring trip to Memphis.

We are looking forward to overnighting in Memphis and having fun in the process.

Hopefully the dealer in Memphis is good.

 

I live 30 miles away from my selling dealer, but I have other 2 closer to me...one is 4 miles away and the other is about 17 miles away. However, the sales and service of the dealer 30 miles away is much better than the closest ones, hence I have bought 4 new MINIs from them since 2002. I am spoiled!

 

My dealer is also about 60 miles away.
So far, no problem.
However, a trip to the dealer is a full day.
I use the opportunity to look at the new MINIs and BMWs.

 

My dealer is 110 miles away. My only concern was if the car was inoperable, but my MA said they would have it towed down. EEK! I would hate to think of it being towed behind a truck, but on a flatbed would be preferable. Just hope that never happens.
I've had BMWs for years and no problems. That dealership is below the MINI dealership, so I decided having a MINI was more important than having a brand of car that has a dealership in town. Somehow those other brands just didn't do it for me.

 

Just so you know, if you guys experience a breakdown in your MINI and are located at or 100 miles beyond your residence, MINI Roadside assistance will pay for your meals and lodging. I believe the cap is $700 or $800. This is a very little known but important fact to keep in mind.
