Starting a journey with a new Mini

Hi! Today I bought a 2005 Cooper S, to replace the 2003 Cooper that we bought new, loved , and had to part with during the “great downsizing” a couple of years ago. The new car needs some work, some of which I can do (with your help) and some of which will have to be professionally done. It felt really great to drive a Mini again, even for the short unregistered drive into my garage.

I’ll be diligently searching for information, and probably have to ask for some help and advice. I’m looking forward to the interaction with people in this group, and offer the “Mini wave” the way we did a dozen years ago.

My first question would be the name of a reliable Mini shop in Rochester NY.
Thanks,
Ben
