Hi Everyone,

I live in the Olympia, WA and am looking for a good trusted mechanic shop in my area. Does anyone here have any recommendations?

Tacoma, WA is also not too far away from me.

Unless I can find someone here who is very knowledgeable about Mini, and is willing to partner up with me out to work on my R53 in this area.

I have, what seems to be a Oil Pan gasket leak and/or Crank Shaft seal leak.

I prefer to do it myself. But it seems a bit complex and I don't want to do any thing wrong since its my first time. I have spent most of my life working on Mitsubishi's. I just change my Power Steering pump on my Mini which was straight forward.

I will really appreciate your help.

 

This may help...a new Bentley service manual for the late model MINIs is due out next month. I've ordered one from Amazon at a price much less than the suggested retail price.

 

Click on the independent shop tab on the site below and you will find numerous MINI independent repair shops in the Seattle area. Good luck.

 

Thanks! That helps a lot. Looks like there one close to my place.

 

Thank you for the tip. I'll be sure to check it out!
