R53 Restoration Companies

Hello,

I may be restoring my 2002 MCS. Can you recommend a restoration company with MINI R53 experience who is located in New England?

Thanks!

A couple of great leads, thank you.

One that I’m aware of is https://www.avarestoration.com, although it seems they primarily work on BMWs.

Welcome.

Little big of digging on my end. Better then chat GPT and AI as most of those results are wrong...lol

You need to talk to people that have gone and spent money at these places. Real results may vary. What others find good or bad might not be the same
things that matter to you. The BMW shop should be able to handle a Mini. Think about what you want to spend, how much time you are willing to have them work on the car. Even before talking to customers, see
rhe shop. If you don’t like it, you may be even more unhappy when you see the bill. What do you need, body work, mechanical, electrical, all?
