Mini Specialist - Herts/Beds/Bucks
Discussion
Chaps,
Can any of you recommend a Mini specialist in or around the North Herts/South Beds area?
There's a rattle coming from what sounds like the exhaust at around 2k rpm and also, gear changes can be a little harsh unless the clutch is ALL the way down. I dont think the clutch is on its way out (no slippage) and the gearbox seems to be solid but I'd like to get someone to look it over. Trouble is, search for "Mini" and "Specialist" around these parts turns up with Specialist Cars in Luton - the main agent!
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Cheers
Woody

Got mine booked in with specialist cars in Stevenage on wednesday!
Will let you know how I get on
Thanks, I'd be interested in how you get on. I used their Luton branch a while back when I was running a BMW but for a 6 year old car, I think their rates might be a bit rich!Will let you know how I get on

Ah, if St Neots isn't too far, 1320MINI are definitely worth a visit!
Yeah, thats a bit of a trek - I'll bear them in mind though if I cant find someone closer, thanks.Well,
I must say service was ok.
arrived and all seemed fine, said they'd look at the sat nav problems whilst in for a service.
Got a phone call at 9ish to say that it needed the brake fluid changed aswell and would be £50.00
Then got a phone call at 1 to say the car was ready.
Upon arriving I got a £120.00 bill handed to me. In which I explained I was only told about the £50.00 . HE then said as you asked us to have a look at the sat nav the Diagnostic fee is £70.00. Thats to look at the sat nav and plug a computer into it.
Was fairly annoyed that I hadn't been made aware and said that they'd look into it. Money wasn't the issue just being presented with a higher bill when they said they'd take care of it!
