From South Bend, IN (home of Univ Notre Dame) it's 2.5 hours to INDY or Chicago. The Chicago dealer told me they would provide a rental/loaner for free since I live so far away if warrenty issues keep the car overnight. They pay for towing of course.

 

There are four dealers about three hours away - none closer. Only one of these services Minis on Saturdays so I use that one for regular maintenance and get the work done on a day trip. I was surprised how many don't service on Saturday - something to consider when you are checking out how to get work done on your car.

 

<< I am in LA county. I have two within 15-20 miles, so far one of them is on my never go there again list. There are four more an hour or less drive away.

plk, which one made your never go again list.

I'm right around the corner from Universal, but don't care to go to there. I go to Assael which is about 25 miles away.

 

My dealer is about 65 miles away. 1 hour 15 minute drive, unless i take the scenic route.

 

Hey, AppleCello...I am in Harrisburg; 100 miles from Philly/Don Rosen. I placed an order on the MCS. A bit inconvenient but should be worth the drive.
