Before taking my Mini here for service, I was warned that they will find something wrong with the car no matter what. Knowing there was one issue and I had a recall, I took it in to get repaired. All of a sudden I had a car's life-threatening leak that had to be fixed immediately and I could not drive off the lot without getting it fixed.
I contacted a mechanic I know and he said that if the leak they are saying actually existed, I would have definitely noticed. After going back and forth with them on the work, I told them I would be interested in purchasing the extended warranty and unbelievably, the car was okay to take home and drive for a few a while until the warranty can be used. Interesting.
The next day, I take it to a Mini specialist here in Vegas and told him about the "leak" and he looked and started laughing. He wiped off some fluid that was in that area and said there was absolutely nothing wrong.
Save yourself a ton of time and use the reviews here on Yelp to check out the other Mini service people here in Vegas if you are out of warranty.
