    Hello All,

    I have a 67 Austin Mini Cooper that I need to run a diagnostic on for mechanical check up and some cosmetic work. Basically I want to get my old car back into pristine shape!

    Anyone know someone trustworthy? Already had a run in with a guy from norwalk but he didn't take care of the little things which made me lose trust in him.

    :fingerscrossed:
    Thanks in advance!

    :cornut: No help here but I'll bump your post. Outside of MA one of the most knowledgable Mini(as opposed to MINI) people for repair of Minis nation wide is Chuck Heleker. He lives in the Seattle, WA area.He gives numerous public talks on Minis. He is a consultant to MC2 magazine on Minis. He has owned numerous Minis including a Mini Firetruck and Police Car. He does all the work himself. To my knowledge he does not work on other people's cars only his own but gladly and freely offers advice. There are 2 places to try:

    +1 for George. He helped me through the whole fiasco with my car and has helped out with various other stuff in the past.

    Honest mechanic and does things from a basic tire change to complete restorations.
