Unfortunately I had a manufacture defect which required the headliner to be replaced in my new 2013 MINI. The service department has always been incredibly polite and willing to make sure I am happy with the purchase of my MINI. They always make me feel welcome and take good care of me and my MINI. I am very happy with the work they did on my MINI with the headliner replacement. The quality of work looks amazing. I am very please and happy they were able to fix the defect for me without giving me a hard time as it seems like other dealers do. MINI is truly about the customers and the service team does a great job of continuing that feeling after the purchase. Kudos to them and their excellent customer service. More

I must have sent less than 5 The service in this place is top-notch. The employees were professional, polite and they got the work done super-fast. I must have sent less than 5 minutes dropping off my car and getting set -up with a rental. Also while my car was in service, I received daily updates via email on the progress, also was notified when the car was ready for pick up. These guys are super-professional and know how to get their work done in time. I highly recommend this place. More
Stephen Brooks was responsive and helpful I decided to purchase a 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman S ALL4, and e-mailed the dealership about their inventory and pricing. Steve responded promptly an I decided to purchase a 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman S ALL4, and e-mailed the dealership about their inventory and pricing. Steve responded promptly and conducted an extensive search for an appropriate vehicle with the options that I wanted (a few of the other area dealers were unable to find a car suiting my needs). Steve continued to be responsive during negotiation and produced all of the information I requested. I would recommend him to any person in the DC Metro area seeking to purchase a new Mini. More
Buyer Beware A Virginia resident, I purchased a used 2004 Mazda after being reassured numerous times that the MD vehicle inspection process is way more stringent t A Virginia resident, I purchased a used 2004 Mazda after being reassured numerous times that the MD vehicle inspection process is way more stringent than VA. I bought the car in January 2014 in the rain. I took the car to to Virginia and had it inspected. It failed, one of the reasons being that a front headlight was installed improperly (and a brake light was out). Once it was in the service station's bay you could tell immediately that one light was exactly where it was supposed to be and the other one was pointed to the ground. The inspector told me to immediately have the tires replaced because they were cracked from being dry rotted. He had no reason to mislead me because selling me tires was not his intent; he told me to go elsewhere. When the tires were not wet from the rain, the cracks within the tread were obviously visible. I took the vehicle back to the dealership when I then met with a person I believe to be the Used Car Manager. He was extremely rude and indifferent; he kept repeating that I purchased the car As Is and "tough", there was nothing he could or was willing to do about it. One of the safety checks per MD law is the condition of the tire. Even though the car passed inspection at the Mini Cooper dealership, I would not think that a dry rotted tire could possibly meet the good condition requirement - especially the more stringent MD safety inspection that was a continued major selling point of the vehicle. He told me he was willing to pay for the misaligned light and brake light, but only if I had the work done there - which would have meant that I take the car back again to the vehicle inspection place to have it reinspected - a non-starter, even though it would have only cost the dealership $40. I bought the car for my 16 year old who was with me when we purchased the car. Even though I can't say with the utmost certainty that the salesman knew or should have known about the dry rotted tires, I can tell you on no uncertain terms that neither the manager nor the salesman would have allowed their children to drive the car in its purchased condition. So Buyer Beware - get the car inspected somewhere else prior to purchasing anything from this dealership (which I certainly don't recommend). In my humble opinion, I believe it to be a conflict of interest for the dealership to inspect the same vehicles it intends to sell. It was obvious from my experience that this car should have never passed the MD safety inspection. Once you walk out of the door there with a car you are obviously "dead to them" - which after seeing the condition of the tires, the improperly installed headlight and burned out brake light, was ever more likely to come to pass in a literal sense.

I was feeling a vibration at high speeds after nailing a pot hole. I took my car in hoping that the rim would be repaired or replaced under the 3rd party tire & rim package I purchased. As expected, it was pot hole. I took my car in hoping that the rim would be repaired or replaced under the 3rd party tire & rim package I purchased. As expected, it was. What wasn't expected was that Mini gave me a free loaner for the 3 days it took to have the rim inspected, replacement authorized, part ordered, and then replaced. Everyday I got an email about the progress. When my car was ready to pick up I got a txt. Everyone was super nice and my filthy mini was returned squeaky clean to boot. Very good dealership! More
We had a GREAT experience in purchasing a used Mini Countryman S from Passport Mini this past month. Their website was great: it informed us of in-stock cars, and I searched a wide region comparing pri Countryman S from Passport Mini this past month. Their website was great: it informed us of in-stock cars, and I searched a wide region comparing prices. Their prices across the board were $5K lower than nearby competing dealerships, so that was a plus right away. I called the day before we were to come and conversed with salesman Calvin Young. He told me that the car was available, and also informed me on how to make a three-way car swap with our kids, so that we could use theirs as a trade-in and give them our older van. He made sure that we had what we needed to do that. When we arrived (from 3.5 hours away, a trek that we make weekly between home and Montgomery County) it was snowy and cold, but we saw the Mini that we had come to drive warming up in the dealership parking lot. The building was clean and attractive inside and out, and Calvin was there waiting for us. We went for a test drive and he pointed out features to this wonderful car (there were many of them--too many to take in in one job). The car was just as described on the Internet, only better. We then went to a nearby Toyota dealership in order to drive a competing car, but there was no contest. We returned to Passport Mini, did the complex car transaction in a couple of hours, and were handed the keys to a fabulous car. Not only this, but the car had some flaws that the dealership promised to fix the next week. We again made the trek to the dealer, and since paint was involved in the fixes, they needed our car for at least two days. We were given a free loaner car for an entire week. It was a brand new 2014 Countryman--but we liked our used Mini better! ;-) Our car was fixed beautifully, on time, and again Calvin was on hand to transition us back to our new car. We have been VERY blessed by our experience at Passport Mini and would highly recommend them. More
If you are reading this message I can say unequivocally, you have selected the right dealership and absolutely the right sales person. I am currently a Wounded Warrior being treated for injuries sustained you have selected the right dealership and absolutely the right sales person. I am currently a Wounded Warrior being treated for injuries sustained in Afghanistan. I wanted to do something special for my wife this Christmas and decided to purchase her, her dream car a Mini. I am stationed in Virginia and she’s in California. Take it from me, I was a sales person’s nightmare. I wanted the car with all her options, within the right price range and yes, delivered to Southern California before Christmas. And of course I had trade-in title issues to be sorted out, limited time out of the hospital and issues with seeing and filling out documents. With just two weeks to Christmas, Laurie Miller and team never doubted for once that the challenge could be met. And guess what guys they were right. Way to make an old solider smile.
