New mini owner in southern cali

Just purchased an 04 MCS, gotta say I absolutely love this car. Does anyone kno of any good shops in southern cali for repairs and maintenance?
Car runs fine seeing as it only has 20k miles on it.

Congrats on your new to you 04 MCS, I'm sure you will have many wonderful miles driving. I can't help you with shops in southern Cali, but maybe checking out the local clubs in your area can be helpful.

Good Luck!

thanks! I have it fully stock right now, but will be modifying it later on. Been doing a lot of research on whats popular for them, so far what ive found out is, 17% pulley, cold air intake better plugs and exhaust.

Check out Southern California Mini Maniacs web site - SCMM. If you live near Thousand Oaks I recommend talking to Scott at Motoring Magic (805) 496-2300 for repairs or maintenence for your 04 R53.
