I've never had issues with the SA service folks. I'm here right now actually, though and they didn't seem to have my%2

 

I've had much worse service than SA... and much better. They tried to pull the bad gas when my HPFP blew as well as a variety of other ticky tack issues, but on the other hand, they eventually followed through and resolved all issues I've faced. But I'd love to be able to not commit half a day just to do annual service.

Neat!!!

BTW, I asked SignHere for a status update and it seems everything is still on track for a March 1st opening.

 

It was 2/1/2010...just keeps creeping out there.

 

March 1st? Just went by yesterday and it doesn't look that close.

Hate to be a cynic, but each year we've been told "6 months away". Should we place bets and see who guesses the actual opening date?

To the future Mini of Austin - please open up soon! I refuse to go to Mini of SA! (while some people don't have anything bad to say about them, there is certainly nothing good to say about them)

 

Are you sure? A guy from work lives near by and told me based on what he saw it indeed looks like beginning of March. I really don't wanna go to Dallas again, so I hope they open soon, since I still need more warranty stuff to be done on the car

 

Drove by Monday and lights were on inside. They are still working on outside facade, but if weather cooperates, I believe they might make their March opening date. at least I hope so...

 

Yay! So hopefully by the time I finally find a job in Austin (a girl's got to dream) the dealership will be open. Either way, it'll be nice to have one there when I hopefully return for grad school. I really miss Austin!

 

Hi everyone! They are working all sorts of crazy hours over there trying to get this place open! It will be open during the first week of March I am told. NOW CAN SOMEONE PLEASE STOP THIS RAIN?!?!?! ARRRRRRGH!!!!!

 

Oh, and just as an aside...there will be some HUGE special incentives for the first 100 MINI buyers. But you didn't hear it from me! ;-) You might want to follow my tweets or Facebook page for the latest details - Both can be found under "MINI of Austin". And yes, those who reserve and order cars now will qualify for the soon-to-be-announced programs!

 

 

Called Friday and they said they were trying to open on March 15th or 20th.
Drove by today and snapped a couple of pics with my cell phone.

That store looks terrific! (and EXTREMELY familiar to where I worked for a few years )

 

I sure do appreciate a good weather day! We are getting close! I am looking forward to starting the "move that bus, move that bus" chant!

MINI of Austin

 

Came by today to check things out. Looking real good...Hope you make your opening goal date (s)...

 

I'm confidant this MINI dealership will be one of the best in the nation. I've been to other dealers and all seem to be just a slapped together afterthought "oh, I guess we should sell some MINIs... let's put it in this decrepit back corner." MINI of Austin already looks like 2 notches above the rest and they haven't even opened yet. BMW of Austin was the best. I'd expect no less from MINI of Austin.

 

I tend to agree with everything you said.

 

 

Facebook status says opening on April 1st...

 

Hmmmm, I may swing by then. I have an interview in Dripping Springs on the 1st.

 

Another excuse to head to Austin for the day!

 

Only a "Fool" would believe that

Seriously, I hope they open soon....

 

Facebook status page now says April 12th.

Bummer! Oh well, I may still try to do a drive-by this week. I'm crossing my fingers that this will be the job! I really want to move back to Austin.
