Our grand daughter recently bought a very nice '03 Mini Cooper (base model)/5-speed, and now I want to have all fluids changed, new plugs, filters, belts, etc. I would prefer to have an indy shop for this, but not one that simply says "yeah, we work on just about anything here", if you know what I mean.

So I would appreciate suggestions for an experienced Mini indy shop in the Columbus, OH, area.

Thx,

Relinuca,

I see that no one has replied to you yet. I can give you the name of a independent shop in Columbus, but I have not used them. But I plan to from what I've been told of them.

The shop is Auto Assets in Powell just outside of 270. You can also find other shops listed on www.minirepairshops.com

I hope this helps you.

The shop in Columbus to use is Best Motor Werks out by the airport. The link is www.bestmotorwerks.com/
I will send you a PM with other information about MINI stuff in Columbus in a moment.

Not sure if you're into DIY projects but all of these are pretty easy to do with basic hand tools. The only one that might be considered a tough task would be the tans fluid and even that is pretty straight forward. Could end up saving a nice bit of cash too.

+1 on all of that being very easy to do. If you're up for a drive to the northern side of Cincy, I know a great guy. PM me if you want the details.

A lot of the OH people are using Detroit Tuned for their major & minor work, Chad has even been known to come down for club, tune parties.

+1 for bestmotorwerks.
