Wow, where in NJ are you? I am in Oakland (North ersey) but so far i have only had warranty work done at Prestige Mini. I was going have them mount my snow tires but they wanted $55 per tire! All my tire/wheel work is done by CDR TIre in Oakland

(201) 337-2144 Chuck is the owner and is very honest guy.

These are the two I have experience with, and I had excellent experiences with both.

I also have Sean at Eurosport of Westfield do some work, too.

Then Oakland is not that far from you. Take 23 South to 287 North. About 30 minutes.

Hey! i'm from Wantage and i work in Sparta!! um i don't have any good advice on mechanics, my bf is a mechanic although he has never worked on the mini before, everything has been covered by warrenty so far, what is it u need done? I think the best way is to learn to do it ur self, its hard to trust peolpe and not spend alot of money these days.
well good luck,
becca
