They saved my husband and I over $100 today by not charging us for things that we didn't need. We at first when to a different place that had told me previously that the estimate for my repairs (1 belt replacement ) would be $60, but then when my husband took the car in to that place, they looked at the car and the cost jumped to $220 (2 belts and an item that needed to be ordered to tighten them). I then called MP Motorsports and explained what the other mechanic told my husband and how I felt we were being taken for a ride. The woman I spoke to was very nice and said they could fit us in now, just bring the car by and they would look and give us an estimate. After looking at the car, they determined that only 1 belt was needed and no item was needed to tighten it. The car now runs fine, and it only cost $100. I will be going to this mechanic for every car repair that I need from now on.

A week later I had a flat. I called and a very rude woman told me they didn't cover that. I would have to call the manufacturer. She gave me the run around. I wondered if she pocketed the $. I purchased another tire else where. I let that slide. My a/c went out. I took my car there paying $300. It half way works. Again, I went to them. I do transports for special needs individuals. I have to have air. Again, the very rude woman had an attitude. She argued with me yelling I didn't buy my tires there. When she realized she was wrong she got even uglier. She said it wasn't their fault the air didn't work. They were not responsible. I decided to just leave. As I exited the door she yelled bye a few times. I turned around looking for a manager or the owner. I went into the bay area where she was talking about me to her coworkers. I asked for owners number and she wouldn't give it to me. Telling me they would tell me the same thing. I told her I wanted to talk to them about her behavior. That she was completely unprofessional. She was red faced yelling obscenities at me as I left. Idk if any of what she said was true. I just know as long as she is at the front desk I will take my business elsewhere. I hope the owners see this and remove her as the face of this establishment.

They will rip off your kids. I phoned and spoke with the owner about my daughter's vehicle a week ago. The codes were pointing to likely bad coil or spark plug. This is a $30-$90 part from Napa, which is where the owner told me they typically get their parts (I think he said AutoZone also). He went on and on about how they warranty it for 3 years if they provide the part (I had asked if we could order some OEM grade spark plugs/coils to have installed). He told me the rates they typically charge and if the work takes half an hour, they'll charge you half of that. The rates were around $100/hr, $130/hr, and I think $150/hr. I phoned the morning it was taken in and spoke with Josh. I had complied a list of the codes and the likely cause. He had the list and commented, "those cars can be finicky." It's a Mini Cooper. The most common cause for those codes is bad spark plugs or coils, which I had also discussed with the owner. He told me he'd call me after they looked it over. I thought he had my phone number from my daughter, but apparently he didn't. He called her, and she told him to do it. She said he told her "he had to order the part," so I was hopeful we could stop it in time. They charged her $497 to replace 1 ignition coil. It takes 15-20 minutes at the most to replace one of those. I CALLED 10 MINUTES AFTER HE TOLD HER HE HAD TO ORDER IT. I told the other repair guy we not want them doing the work at $474. The other service repair guy told me, "I think he's already done the work." I told him, "He just told her he had to order the part." This repair guy said he'd have Josh call me. He never did (waited a couple hours). Checked with my daughter. "I picked it up." "He charged me for 1 coil." The car was scheduled to go in at 1 pm. I spoke with the second repair guy at 3:50. They phoned my daughter at 3:15 to tell her what the issue was and how much it would cost. She gave them the okay but then tried to call them back, but it didn't matter because they fixed it by 3:25. She received a text that it was ready at 3:25-10 minutes to swap out the coil. The work was done like I figured in 15-20 minutes. It would have cost us this much to have it towed near Asheville to have a Mini repair shop do it. Of course they told her it was a Mini Cooper and harder to work on. The spark plugs and coils are not hard to replace on a Mini Cooper-as evidenced by the 10 minute repair time. It's really no different than my Honda Pilot spark plugs and coils. "Mini Cooper Countryman Ignition Coil Replacement Cost The average cost for a Mini Cooper Countryman ignition coil replacement is between $156 and $222. Labor costs are estimated between $91 and $115 while parts are priced between $65 and $107." They charged $171 to swap the coil with another one to confirm it was bad. I've done that before. Takes 3 minutes. Then they charged $280 for the part and to put the new coil in. There is a lovely extra $43 fee for something also. LIARS AND SCAMMERS. I contacted a Mini Cooper Dealer/Service shop. For OEM part, they would have charged $170 for the coil and $250 (1 hour labor). this automotive shop is not on the same level of a BMW/Mini Cooper repair shop. UPDATE 2/6/23: Josh agreed to reduce the invoice which I appreciated. However, I still feel like it's higher than it should be. I think future customers should know about the $171 extra charge for diagnosing the issue (whether it takes 10 minutes or an hour as I was informed--including just running an OBDC scan). It's just a flat extra fee on your bill. The $43 is for shop supplies. Maybe people in that area are okay with that big diagnostic fee, but where I'm from, that isn't okay. I therefore do not feel comfortable removing my original post, but I will give them a nod for reducing the invoice by $150.
