Good Mechanic in Central NJ?

I'm located near Trenton NJ and refuse to bring my 2004 coop to Princeton Mini for various reasons. Although I know a great mechanic who's been changing the oil and minor repair work, mine is the only mini he works on. As a result, my car is in need of some quality TLC. I've searched the boards for a reference but to no avail. Can you recommend a good mini mechanic not affiliated with Princeton?

Helex in Philly. I wish I lived closer.

Autobahn in Lakewood is used by a lot of locals. Would use them or Helix if you're looking for specific mods or MINI experienced service work.

I've used Kingston Garage in Kingston for years for all my BMW repairs and will be taking the MINI to them for the basics - once I'm out of warranty. They do great work at a fair price. Not sure how deep they've gotten into MINI service but I expect this will grow. Princeton's selling a lot of cars and no one likes their service.
