I'm new to the area and looking for a reputable mechanic to install my intercooler.

Thanks in advance.

Spend $20 in tools, buy a bag of spare pop rivets, and set aside a Saturday. I had no idea what I was doing, learned a bunch, and it came out working great. It's easier than you think.

+1 I've done this so many times that I've got it down to about 40mins now...

OP, it should not take you no more than 3 hrs even w/ no experience working on MINI's or cars in general.
