NoVA MNI owners: Can you recommend a good/reputable/affordable BMW/MINI mechanic/shop in the Leesburg, Sterling area? I have breaks that I needs to be replaced and already have the parts for it.Thanks.

Sure, you said mechanics so I assume you don't mean dealers like MOS.

There is Lucky Dog Garage (LDG), one of the NAM vendors in Glenelg. The owner is a DCMM member and races his MINI.

The other is Benchmark Motors in Columbia. They are exclusively a BMW/Mercedes independent shop but are now taking MINIs in for work too. I have had suspension work done there and they do a lot of Tirerack work as a recommended installer. http://www.benchmarkmotors.com/
