Hi folks,

As it says I'm looking for an Independant mini specialist in central Scotland ..... it'll soon be time to dig the old girl out from hibernation and I need a few things looked at and would rather find a specialist as opposed to a general repair shop.

Many thanks for any info

Regards
Barry

MacDonald minis in Wallyford just outside Edinburgh is probably the best bet, Clarke who runs it is an old school guy and spot on when it comes to minis.

Other one is Mini works, also outside Edinburgh. they are pretty good as well especially for restorations and always nice to see what Simon has in for work when you are there.

Haven't used them but have seen a few cars they have done, and only ever heard good reports.

Mini works have had a few magazine features..

McDonald's minis have a significant history and nice folks.

Mini mart also produce fine work.. Scotland is unfortunately not nice to minis but we have nice folk in Scotland to look after them...
