Mini Mechanics?

Mini Mechanics?
I live in Burlington County (Exit 6 off of the TP). I am looking for a quality mechanic that can perform work on my MC. I am looking for someone that I can rely on to perform both the mundane maintenance work as well as some suspension and brake performance modifications (nothing fancy). I would prefer a mechanic that works on Minis and/or BMWs and NAM members have good experiences with. Can anyone recommend any mechanics in or near Burlington County? I am willing to drive up to 30-40 minutes to get to the shop. Thanks!

I take my MINI to this place because they really know what they're doing:

Thing is, it's in Eastern Monmouth County, which is a good 60 to 90 minute drive for you, depending on traffic conditions.
rock on,

I go to Eric for everything, I'm past the maintainance and warranty. Get oil changes done, brake pads and rotors changed, sway bar, camber plates, exhaust, etc. Since I track my MINI regularly, I'm there a lot! Soon to get new front control arm bushings and a new belt tensioner assembly for my S.

Thanks for the input guys. I will probably go with Eric. I am past 36,000 miles so I think I am outside of the scheduled maintenance window. I will probably go with Eric at Helix to do the Oil Change and Brake Fluid flush, since the the owner's manual recommends that you flush the fluid every 2 years. I will probably go with an aftermarket fluid with higher boiling points, though i only autox and never track the car.

Want to keep it running
I'm near trenton NJ. I have an 04 s with about 110,000. I'm not looking to add any performance parts, I basically just want someone with experience to give the once over and ensure it's go another 100. Is Eric still the guy or is there someone closer with a good rep?

I've been using Dave at Autobahn in Lakewood NJ:

He can handle anything on your MINI.
I like Eric at Helix too, but since they moved the shop is just too far away for me now.
