Hi Guys!

I've recently purchased a awsome 2011 clubmans S and I want to start putting mod's on it but i have very little knowledge about Mini. Although i am learning alot in NAM i need recommendations where i can trust my car with and hang out. Please all Socal especially in LA area fellas

Thank you,

Jay

Does anyone happen to know if any of the above-mentioned shops has a dyno? I'd like to put my car on a dyno once it's broken in just to see what it can do.

Mini Corsa is fantastic. He's the only one of these listed that I've had experience with, but I've personally never had a better experience with a mechanic in my entire life, truly. He's not a fanboy, either, which is exactly what you want in a mechanic -- he fully accepts MINI's shortcomings and issues and will give you an unbelievably fair price for doing superior work to any dealer that I've personally been to.
