So I just checked the "SoCal MINI Regional Resources" about dealers and service shops but didn't come up with anything near my zip - 90036. On Google, I found Autotech International in Culver City. They have a TON of positive reviews and aren't too far away. The info on their website states that they only use factory parts, which I like.

Anyone use these guys?

Any other places I should check out?

I've got a 2002 MCS so I'm out of warranty and would like to stay away from dealership service prices, but they're not out of the picture if they're really good.

Please Help!!

 

Danny at MiniCorsa in North Hollywood. I drive there from Fontana; he's that good.

 

Here's a list of nationwide independent shops. The California section may be of help

 

MiniCorsa for the win.

 

MINICorsa in NoHo prolly closer to you.
Steve's Auto Clinic in North Hills.
Stay away from everything else!!

 

Thanks everyone for the info. MiniCorsa looks pretty hardcore. Haha, I'm just in need of an oil change and probably some annual flush of some type. I might walk out of there with a big brake kit and new headers.

I previously always took my Mini to a dealership since it was so close to my house, out of curiosity, do these independent shops have the key reader?

 

Danny's got everything, and he will blow away the price for an oil change compared to any dealer. Going the other, San Pedro, Johnnies is a great MINI mechanic, and always has a special for an oil change, 69.95 with a coupon. Here is the linkhttp://bestbuysguide.com/index.php?o...173&Itemid=680

 

Definitely Danny.
