Correction the free maintenance was never free it is built into the price of the car. We charge you more & give you less. Now that is a premium screwing. rrr:
Frankly, I'm surprised that they ever covered wear parts, especially clutches, which can be cooked in an afternoon by a third-pedal novice.
More of the " NEW MINI EXPERIENCE" NEVER in SoCal did any dealer cover a clutch. Since 02, a few lucky people have managed to squeak a clutch out of their wtty coverage, but largely it has been 5-7k and " sorry it's not our fault you can't drive". As an aside, VW/AUDI have not covered brakes in their 3/36 for years now. Dealers discretion/goodwill only for them. The newest MINIs are bigger, more expensive and now further decontented. With a flat non descript LOGO to boot. While no free brakes is good for my business, I will have more trouble steering people away from Honda Toyota, etc. with this type of program being slimmed down. I HATE what they are doing to my favorite modern car......
MotoringFile has typos yet again, really Gabe, you are getting more like MC2 every day. My disappointment mounts.
Guess is good I bought my last MINI 2016. I wonder what is on my replacement schedule for the 2011 my wife is driving. It has warranty until 2019. Will I care.... The say older folks are going towards MINI VANs. NOT! Don
Been paying for my own maintainance at the shops I trust since 2008 and I am very happy. Thanks Eric and Marzo at Helix.
