Thankful that no one was hurt, but that 20lb piece of metal sure did do a lot of damage. It did about 9k of damage to my car. Radiator, oil pan, transmission pan, brake lines, ac lines, control arms, etc. Quite honestly, I'm surprised that the car wasn't totaled, but grateful that it wasn't.\n\nIt took them longer than they thought because they also had to have the MINI dealership do a few inspections, but they did great work and it drives great so far. \n\nBrittany and Jim took really good care of us, and I hope I don't need their services again in the future, but if I do - I know I'll be in good hands.\n\nI'll check back in a few weeks with an update of my car's post-repair performance."^^ .
