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!!

 

any alignment shop can align it ...
35k is pretty descent on the runflats mine were bald at 25k

 

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
