Let me try to translate:

Greetings Gentleman and Women of NAM,

I am in search for some direction if you may on an issue that plagues my dear brother. He resides in the Chicago area and is the owner of a 2002 R50. My brother is looking for a good independent mini cooper specialist/mechanic who may be apt to work upon his vehicle. For undisclosed reasons, he would prefer not to service the car at a local Chicago Mini dealer or any mini dealer at that! Any personal recommendations you may have would be greatly appreciated by both my brother and myself. If you must, please send a PM of the name of any shop or individual you would recommend nearby. Otherwise, please respond to my post publicly if you are so inclined!

Good Day,

-Mikal68
