I found them to be very polite and professional always kept me in the loop should any thing need to be done , which is what I needed after being messed around by other garages . Also found them to be reasonable with their prices and fitted me when required .
Would highly recommend this garage nice to have one so close that knows what they are talking about .

Common issues seen with Mini vehicles
Timing chain rattle: Hear a rattle or ticking after a cold start? On petrol Minis, the timing chain tensioner can lose tension, leaving the chain slack. Our experts inspect the chain and tensioner and replace worn parts.
High-pressure fuel pump problems: Is your turbocharged Mini slow to start, hesitating or losing power? The high-pressure fuel pump can weaken over time and starve the engine of fuel. We test fuel pressure to confirm the cause.
Thermostat housing leaks: Noticed a sweet smell or the temperature creeping up? The plastic thermostat housing on many petrol Minis can weaken or crack with age. Our skilled team finds the leak and fits the correct replacement.
Heavy or failed power steering: Steering suddenly heavy, or a whine under the bonnet? The electric power steering pump and its cooling fan on some Minis can fail. Our experts test the pump and wiring before replacing any part.
Carbon build-up on the intake valves: Rough idle, misfires or a hesitation when pulling away? Petrol Minis with direct fuel injection can build up carbon on the intake valves. Our experienced professionals clean the valves to restore smooth running.
Turbocharger faults: Hear a metallic rattle at idle, or lost power? On turbocharged Minis, the wastegate linkage can wear, and a restricted oil feed can damage the turbo. Our experts inspect both before advising on the fix.
