Hi All,

I recently became the new owner of a 2002 Mini. I'm having a few issues that I certainly do not know how to address on my own. I have a great mechanic I have been taking my cars to for awhile now, but he's never worked on a mini before. Probably because mini owners choose to go to certified BMW/Mini mechanics?

I'm in central Denver. Does anyone have a good suggestion on a loyal, trustworthy, well-priced mini mechanic in the area that you've had a good experience with?

I haven't seen many posts on this topic, but then again I wasn't going to spend days searching through all of the forums... I figured I would just refresh and start a new one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

 

If you check the Colorado/Denver section of this link there are several independent shops worth investigating. Sorry-can't vouch for the reliability of these shops. Good luck.

 

Colorado Springs, see Bahman's shop - Import Auto Technicians - 719-260-0992

Loveland - SCR Performance, race and play with MINIs.

Schomp MINI - excellent service department

MINI of Loveland - new facility, MINI tech. is long time BMW wrench.

May be others.

 

Gunbarrel Import Motors, 283 2nd Ave. Niwot, CO. Weekdays 07:30-5:30 Sat 10am-3pm (303) 652-3040

I have not been to this shop, but it is close to where I live. They have all the logos in the window, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and even the MINI logo. Located two blocks east of the tracks in Niwot, south side of the street.
I have been wanting to go check them out but have not had the need.
Not real close to Denver though.

Also I have heard of "PEAK EUROSPORT" in Arvada, they might be just performance upgrades though but I bet they would handle anything.

I copied this post from a similar thread...

I've started taking my MINI to Gunbarrell Motors in Niwot. They have traditionally worked on BMW, Mercedes etc and have expanded into MINI service. In my experience, they are an excellent shop!

They do great work and strive to do it efficiently. Yesterday they were able to replace the crank position sensor seal without removing the front end componants. That saved time and money so I was quite pleased. One more reason I'll be going there for all my MINI service!

For tires, I recomend The Tire Source on 30th St. just north of the Steelyards. They are terrific.
