Recommended shop in Suffolk County?

Can anyone recommend a shop for basic Mini work in Suffolk county? I need to get my belt replaced and I don't have the tensioner tool. It'll probably be the same $$ to get the belt replaced then to buy the tensioner tool and then change it myself.

OR, would anyone be willing to lend me the tool if they have one?!?!

I see that Riteway in Patchogue services MINIE'S. Are there other Suffolk County LI. shops that members can recommend?

I'm a new R53 owner and was wondering the same question.. I want to get all of the usual problems checked out by someone who knows what to look for.

Any other shops that are mini specific? Where does everyone get their work done?

I'm a new R53 owner and although I haven't used them, apparently the Little Garage in Huntington is fantastic. Check out their reviews on google (they seem to have 2 websites right now so look at both if you noticed that).

Anyone else ... anything more east?

The Little Garage is the only one that I ever came up with and I was thinking of taking it to them. Although when it comes down to it I'm probably just going to drive my car to Philadelphia and have Helix Motorsports do a bunch of work at once.

Little Garage is overpriced and he'll try to take advantage of you. TNT Racewerks in farmingdale is supposed to be good but no personal experience

Worth the trip as they guys at Helix are knowledgeable and extremely fair...
