I took my MINI to a shop for some body work and when I went to go take a look at my MINI i noticed that whoever drove my MINI in must had hit something by my passenger side rim/tire. I mentioned it to them and of course they said "NO...We didn't hit anything." Well, getting my MINI back I noticed that the alignment is way off because of my steering wheel and the roughness of the driving...Well, the weird thing is the traction light and tire pressure light came on at the same time. I tried switching off the traction light but no go. I checked my tire pressure and they were way off but then I leveled them out and tired to reset that light...no go. So, is it because of my alignment? Please help!!

 

......Also, do i need any special alignment done or can i just go anywhere for standard fix?

 

The alignment shouldn't impact the traction or pressure light. I'd go back and talk to the Manager or Owner of shop they did hit something and they should fix it.

You don't need to see a dealer for the alignment, but also be ready to train a local tire shop how to do a MINI if you can't get a MINI owner to tell you where they go.

 

Sounds like they hit a curb or something and possibly messed up a speed sensor.
