I'm trying to find someone in San Antonio to do a pulley install and am having a tough time. I talked to Keith (K-huevo) at WerkinMini last year who said he would do it, but he hasn't answered my last couple of emails. I don't know if he is still in the area. I know he does great work. The shops I've asked have given some pretty bogus answers (Bavarian Auto Repair and San Antonio Euro). Any recommendations? I'd be willing to drive up to south Austin if anyone has a recommendation there. I'm just not comfortable attempting it myself.
K-huevo is the man for the job. That guy does some very fine work. I used to love reading his threads on repairs. Try to PM him from M/A and he will get an e-mail that you are trying to reach him.
Come to the Dragon and have one of the venders do it there. Dragon and a pulley more fun than a man is allowed to have!
Heard back from Keith already. He's spending most of his time in Houston these days so he can't do it. Now, if I could just clear my calendar for the end of April......
So.... to wrap this up. Keith made it back from Houston this weekend. Dropped my car off Saturday, picked it up Sunday. All is well, pulley installed. He noticed a couple of minor things I need to get taken care of. Also, for anyone in San Antonio that needs non-dealer service, "Coopers, Bimmers and Benz" seems to be the place to go. The MINI guy there, Jesse, comes highly recommended. I'm going to try them out the next time I need work done (if Keith isn't available!).
Glad you got it worked out. Not a personal recommendation (as I have never used them), but I've heard good things about Dr. Beemer in south Austin. 10% discount to AMCCC members.
I've heard good things about Dr. Beemer too. That was my fall back plan. Fortunately Keith was able to do the work and also recommend a San Antonio shop.
I dropped my car off Saturday afternoon. That evening I had a series of pictures emailed to me showing some leaks and other issues. He is thorough and methodical. I hope he comes back to San Antonio permanently!
