Any gud independent mini repair shops

The general consensus seems to be that if u plan on keeping ur mini after the multi year maintenance contracts expire, it is a gud idea to find an independent shop to do future work as the mini dealers are cost prohibitive.

In that light, can anyone recommend a gud independent mini repair shop in the Orlando, Ocala or Villages area (Florida)?

Tnx, in advance, for any suggestions.

Go to minirepairshops.com, I found a few around my area that are pretty good. Search by area and find one with a couple reviews, then do some yelp searches or google searches for more reviews. bimmershops is also a good place to start!

Put this in your favorites. It's got more information on MINIs in one location than any other resource you'll find and it is continually growing.

Yes, the texting culture has shattered the King's English for us who were brought up worrying about split infinitives, prepositional phrases and correct spelling of various adverbs, adjectives and possessive pronouns. It is a brave new world of lost vowels and freshly minted acronyms.
