Mini Service

    Just been quoted over the phone by my local mini dealer for an oil change for my car - €250! Sounds steep to me but then its to be expected being out of same stable as a bmw.

    Anyway, iv a friend whos a mechanic who will service it for much less but obv the book wont get stamped (would like this as theres a full mini service history with the car to date) still undecided whether it'd be worth my while in the long run to be scabby in the short term...

    Just wondered if the on board computer can be reset by anyone other than the Mini Garage as i dont want it screaming for a service that its already had every time i turn the key? This might be a deciding factor...

    Got to a local garage and not a main dealer. You will have service records from them and it would be far cheaper!!

    yes, seach on google for bmw mini forums and post your question there. You'll get an answer in no time i's say.
