Any Other Michigan Minis Here

Just curious, just don't see many in Michigan. Mine will spend the summer time in the Traverse City area. Winters in Tallahassee Fla and Florida City. I see the nearest dealer is in Grand Rapids, MI. I'll be doing all maintenance and repairs until I need programming. Any service suggestions, other than Grand Rapids?

I'm in Grand Rapids about ten minutes from Mini of Grand Rapids...I'm sure somebody will suggest Detroit Tuned, but that's and even bigger hike. Make sure to look up the August 5 event, Mini on the Mack...Third attempt at trying to break the world record for the most Minis in a row.

Read all about the event and planning on going! We have a Grandbaby on the way due around Mid July. If we are back home after the birth we will be there.

Welcome.


You should be able to find a local Independent Service Shop that has a MINI specialist, and not have to rely on the dealer for most of your maintenance.


Motor On!

Thank you. We are planning on being at the Mini on the Mack. That sounds like a good time. We live only an hour and a half from there now.
