Hey! I'm a new member and I would appreciate some advice on repairs for my 2005 S. I'm hearing a weird sound from my left front tire. Not all the time but more and more frequently for about a week now. I bought the car new, and it has been service free for the most part. I haven't had my brakes done yet, and I drive it pretty hard. Is it best getting the brakes serviced at the Dealership$$, or can I feel comfortable having them done somewhere else? Any advice or recommendations for shops in the ATL?

 

Mini's have a pretty simple braking system If you are comfortable with wrenching I'd DIY
there are pretty cheap kits for Rotor/brakes but I'd have them checked by a mechanic
it might be something else
