Before I purchased a 2007 MCS I took it to Euro Techs in Tempe for an inspection and they are legit. Jerry is very personable and knows his minis. He started as a tech in North Scottsdale and now has his own shop. I am going to take my MCS to him for all my repair needs. Check them out if you're looking for a good independent. Prepurchase inspection was $20 and suprisingly thorough for the price. I am happy I didn't spend $90 like other mechanics were offering.

 

Yeah, you'll find that a number of our club members have Jerry care for their MINIs, myself included. Glad you had a good experience as well!

 

Yep, took my MCS to Jerry. Great guy
