MINI-Friendly Garage - South Alabama

Hi, all-
Been a while since I've last posted here. I've bought and sold a '73 Mini 1000 Deluxe, 2009 MINI Cooper and a 2015 MINI Cooper S JCW. I'm considering buying a 2004 R50 with 111K miles on it. Looks good on initial inspection/drive - just needs some cleanup. My question is, does anyone on the forum know of a shop on the Alabama Gulf Coast that will do some of the more specialized work that the car will eventually need? Two local import shops said it was too old for them work on. Any advice will be appreciated!

"Too old" ????
Obviously you went to the wrong shop.

I'm not in Alabama.
I apologize for the sarcasm.
