2xx miles over warranty + Coolant leak

Hey guys,

This after noon i noticed my mini leak coolant on my garage floor.
However my warranty is over by 200ish miles (502xx). You guys think MINI will warranty it? Any particular dealers to look out for? I'm in the SoCal/LA Area.


Thanks!

I live by the idea it does not hurt to try.
I would guess it is very dealer dependent. I am right between two dealers, one would say not you are over the mileage and the other would do the fix because it is so close.
I say ask before you get any more miles.

If you have a good dealer they will fix it for you. I know our local dealer would. Taking care of the service customers is what has folks coming back to buy their next car from them. Some dealers understand this & some don't.

Thanks for your guys inputs!
I took it down to the dealership, and they were willing to fix it free of charge.
They pinpointed the coolant leak to the thermostat.

:D
