Buy Used Mini Cooper

Changing Mini Cooper Brakes

Mini Cooper S 2006 Questions?

So I bought a used Mini Cooper. It's a 2006 turbo S. I got a great deal. My brake pad warning has now come on, however. I've called the mini dealership and depending on how many break pads I need, it's going to cost me a lottttt. I also need the oil changed. They want to charge 180 dollars for that alone! Its high performance oil I believe. My questions is- can I go somewhere else to get it changed and get my break pads replaced? If so, where do I go and what do I specifically ask for?

If you think that is expensive.. wait til the crap automatic tranny goes out.. $7000 - $8000 dollars with ease... [you will never want to see another mini cooper as long as you live]

But I digress...

I could change the brakes and oil in the car for a whole lot less.

Call around find out who can do this for you at reasonable rates...
