Ok, I live in the Tri-Cities, WA. and I'm thinking about a Mini. Anybody working on Minis in this end of the state? Please don't tell me everybody goes to Seattle or Portland for everything?

Thanks,

 

Wow, this place is a hotbed of inactivity.

 

If you buy new or new enough to still have free maintenance and/or warranty left, then a MINI dealer is your only choice. Can't even go to BMW for the free oil change.
My closest dealer is Portland and is 200 miles away.

 

Thanks for the reply. I bought used, out-of-warranty so going to the coast isn't required. Turns out there are several good Mini mechanics in my area, which is nice to know.

 

what do u need done? oil changes you can do yourself...is "Li'l Blue Beastie" Sick?

 

Nope, not sick at all. But it's always nice to know where to take the car when I get in over my head with something. Or when it's winter, since I don't have a garage.

 

go to www.inlandneminis.org and ask on the forms theres alot of Spokane MINIS owners who know what is where, I live on base so I just do it all my self =)
