I recently moved to Charlotte and moved away from all of my trusted MINI mechanics.
I had done a bunch of work on my MINI myself and needed a trained eye to make sure that I hadn't done something stupid. Sal took his time, put the car on the lift and did a very thorough job on the survey. He found a few items that I need to keep an eye on and took me out in the shop to show me what was going on.
I've got a clutch job that I know is coming in the next year and I'll be going back to Kinetech. Sal knows his stuff. He also charged much less for the survey than I had expected. Very friendly and down to earth folks.
