What are you looking to have done to your car? It's not North Jersey, but I have to recommend Helix in Philly. Eric's a good guy and won't steer you in the wrong direction.

Frank DeSilva is the owner and is also a MINI owner.

Frank does all my repairs and oil changes on my R52...uses european spec synthetic oil, genuine mini oil filter and costs are usually below $65-70.00.

Frank put my brace under the R52, one-ball mod, wheel changes especially run-flats, put magnaflow exhaust tips on my Countryman ALL4.

Frank did a half-shaft, wheel hub and rear sway bar for me today. Great job at a reasonable price. Worth keeping on your list if you need some work in Northern New Jersey.

PS-Note they have moved around the corner and the above address is the new one.

Does frank have a computer to program the central locking system for an 06 cooper. When I was driving to work this morning, when I can to a stop light, the door lock would unlock. When I start moving again they would lock. anyone else having this problem?
