Do I need to actually take my 2005 Mini convertible to a Mini dealer to have it aligned? Have 35,000 miles on it and those expensive tires that were originally on it already wore out and I had to replace them yesterday!!

Thanks so much for your response. The Sears automotive store said that they could not align it and i needed to take it to BMW as they had a "special" way of doing it. I love this car but the service issues are getting old and expensive. Replaced a glove box and it was $200 without the lock, which was another $150. Volkswagon convertible is starting to look good.

I'd suggest a specific alignment shop as opposed to a "everything" shop
