MINI repair and maintenance
MINI is on TRUE Automotive’s list of makes. MINI is part of the BMW Group, and most current MINIs use the same Condition Based Service reminders as BMW.
When you book, give the model (for example Cooper or Cooper S), the year and any warning on the dash.
Common work on MINI
- Condition Based Service
- The car lists what is due, such as oil, brakes and brake fluid, and each item is reset after the work is done.
