Welcome to AZ!

You'll hear varying opinions and experiences about MNS, but mine has been nothing but positive on my 2005 MCS. I bought it new in June of 05, and just turned 96k miles on the drive home from Utah last week.

I bought it at a dealer in Texas, as they had a much shorter delivery time than MNS back in 2005, but MNS did all of the service and warranty work up through the 50k mile warranty, and always did an excellent job for me.

Definitely check out our club calendar at the links below in my signature, and in the "sticky" posted at the top of this forum. We are a fairly busy club and chapter!

Beyer Motors in Chandler is a good place for Mini service/repair. I have been happy with them. Much closer that Mini North Scottsdale for us in the East Valley.

But do they perform warranty repairs and do you think that they are more qualified than the dealer?

I don't know if Beyer does warranty work or not. I was out of warranty by the time I found them.

I agree with Dan on this one I've had nothing but a great experience with MNS. As for a service advisor Justin is the MAN!!! Just ask for him by name and your set. I know it's a long drive from the east valley but the trip is worth it, and I live in Flagstaff 180 miles away!!

I met Justin for the first time 2 weeks ago for our 07 MINI's first oil change (well, first up there).

I've always had good luck with the salespeople and Justin so far up there. Very professional and good to deal with.

If you see a silver/black or red/black MINI zipping around the QC, honk, wave, and motor on! I see people driving through the QC, but not living here with MINIs.

I was just there not to long ago for some service on my mini, FANTASTIC. i was getting a gutter rail replaced because whoever changed the windshield last didn't put it on right and it flew off (bought it used) so they fixed that price was slightly high but i wanted it done right i also asked about an oil leak that i had been seeing for the past few days guy came back and told me last place (the dealer i bought it from) forgot to put an O ring back on when it was serviced and it was gonna need presure washing on the bottom and an oil service which they would charge me 159+30 for, outraged i was going to have to head back to the dealer i bought it from he topped it off for free. as i was signing my receipt the service associate said that i wouldn't need to go ***** the ford dealer i bought it from that he was just gonna fix the problem free. and as far as the gutter replacement, awesome job! solid as a rock and the car looks like i just bought it band new off the show room floor
