MINI Maintenance

I just had the most amazing mechanic experience of my life. MINI offered a free check up for Puck (my car). They encourage you to be in the bay with your mechanic so he/she can show you what he's doing and explain things. They turned off a light that had been blinking since the trip to Shreveport and gave me a list of things that need to be tended to. When they went over the list they told me what was urgent (the CHEAPEST thing) and what to get done elsewhere because it would be less expensive (the tires) and what could wait until later. It was refreshing to have someone be honest when dealing with cars! I've made an appointment to get the urgent thing taken care of next week. It will cost less than a trip to the grocery store! And to top it all off they gave me a calculator and a MINI t-shirt. It just doesn't get much better than that!
