Hello folks,

Does anyone have connects in the parts department here?

Wind gusts just ripped off the A Pillar on the passenger side of my MCS. :( wtf

Thanks

 

I once had on '03 MCS that I had it garaged for a year while I was deployed to Japan and had it shipped to Pendleton via an auto carrier when I got back to the states.

At 1 month pass the warranty ending (and < 25K miles) Brecht/Escondido MINI refused to help cover a CEL error on the car. MINI USA was telling them to help, but still nothing.

If it was me, I would go to MINI of Irvine or try to order the A pillar cover and clips online. To get my car back from Brecht it cost me over $1,200. They are the absolute WORSE dealership/service dept I ever dealt with. Just for the record - I bought my 03 and 2011 MINIs in Richmond at Crown MINI and they have never given me any problems.

 

thanks for the info data

 

You might want to look at Penskeparts.com

I ordered a bunch of OEM trim and stuff and the prices were better than my local dealer. Shipping was reasonable.

 

Try San Diego MINI

 

thanks everybody for the input.

I'm trying to find out if anyone knows anybody in any of the local parts departments

 

Colin at MINI of Ontario. Good guy, great prices.

 

He's about an hour north of you (on the 15) but a great guy. I blew the A-Pillar off my car coming back from AMVIV south of Barstow (but north of 100mph ) and it was an easy fix. The dealer had the parts and I was back in one piece in no time.

I had a run in at bmw of escondido... Was looking at a new bmw, the guy asked me how much I can afford. I walked away from him and another sales guy helped me. The original guy stared me down while I was looking. Watch out if you go there :/
