| - I've been a Mini owner since 2005, long before I moved to Pittsburgh, so this is not where I bought my car. But this is where I choose to go to get my car serviced. Since they are the only Mini dealer in the Pittsburgh area, it seems a little bit silly to write a review of them, but I felt like they probably deserved at least one on their Yelp page! Especially since with the shiny new renovation, they are finally their own dealership with their own showroom instead of some shady-looking extension of P&W BMW, across the street, who owns them.
When I bring my car in for service, everyone is friendly and very accomodating, even when I have last minute requests. They are also very realistic about the time they will need and always stay in touch about the status of your Mini. They provide a free loaner if you request one, but what's special about them is that all of their loaners are Minis. I had to appreciate this even more after my dad rolled up to my apartment one day in a Nissan loaner that he was given while his car was being serviced at the Porsche dealership. Come on now. If you drive a Mini, you know how weird it is to drive a "normal" car after getting used to its quirks, so I love that I don't have to sacrifice for even a minute. Plus, on my most recent visit, I got to take a Countryman out for the day! Now that everyone and their grandmother drives a Mini Cooper, it was kind of fun to drive a car that was such an attention-grabber on the road (def saw some people creeping on it in the Century III Mall parking lot, haha). Reminded me of when I got my first Mini and people used to stop me and ask "What IS that?!"
Though some of the services I get here can probably be done elsewhere for a cheaper price, I don't mind paying a premium because I trust they will do an excellent job and I feel better having someone who knows Minis work on my little guy. Maybe I'm biased since I'm on my second Mini and a huge fan of the brand, but I would recommend this dealership to anyone who is even the least bit curious about owning a Mini. Once you drive one, there's no turning back.
