I own a 2003 Mini Cooper and my warranty is up. I need help in finding a good mechanic that is knowledgeable of these vehicles. I don't want to take it to a dealer because the prices are so outrageously high. To replace the front brakes cost $575. Fortunately the dealer did my 50,000 service for free and replaced the front brakes because so many Mini owners before me complained and give the Mini service department bad reviews because the prices are so high.

Please help me someone. I don't want to have to sell or trade in my vehicle because I love this car.
