Service Department Rocks Back in mid October I brought my 2012 Mini Countryman S All4 in for routine maintenance. That morning, I got error codes that all the tires were under Back in mid October I brought my 2012 Mini Countryman S All4 in for routine maintenance. That morning, I got error codes that all the tires were under-inflated, likely brought on by the temperature. I came in for an afternoon appointment and planned to wait in the lobby and just work on my laptop. The lobby is your typical Mini dealership lobby with great snacks and drinks and beautiful bathrooms. Lo and behold as slammed as the service department is that day, they are unable to start work on my car, so they comp me a loaner of a 2018 Mini Clubman and promise to have the car done the next morning. (it's worth noting that Brandon Gloeckner was my service advisor). The next morning I get a call from Brandon that my car is all ready. I head over in the loaner (which was awesome, and a great sales tactic) and settle up for the bill. Six services were performed on my car and the bulk of the cost was labor. Services performed were: Brake fluid flush/refill/test, replace microfilter, fuel injection service, coolant system service (vacuum drain, fill, bleed, hose inspection, refill), tire rotation/brake inspection, engine oil service (2L of Mini Synthetic). This all ran me a steep but reasonable 633 dollars with tax. 404 bucks in labor, which I don't even argue with anymore. Be honest. Good mechanics get paid well (as they should). Do you want a guy who is paid 15.50/hr working on your very complex car? Me neither. Total parts amounted to 138 bucks. A cursory web search indicated to me that the part costs were nearly identical to what I could buy them for. Fantastic service and I will continue to get service on my vehicle here until it becomes unfeasible to do so. More
Overall - Seattle MINI Service Center : BAD This Review is about the MINI Service Center only... and not about the Dealership as a whole. To start with, someone needs to teach the Customer Se This Review is about the MINI Service Center only... and not about the Dealership as a whole. To start with, someone needs to teach the Customer Service Representatives to smile. Secondly, they need to be taught how to be a little considerate. They seem to be quite arrogant for such customer-facing positions. They would have no hesitation in refusing service by using lame excuses. They do not hesitate to bother customers to come back multiple times unnecessarily rather than help resolve issues sooner. Thirdly, they could use some better learning about customer co-ordination, courteous behavior, and common sense rather than go by textbook like statements. Lastly, they are very expensive when it comes to labor, in addition to already expensive parts. It is a pure rip-off big-time. For everything they would charge 2 labors - one for diagnosis & two for fix/install. Ideally, they should credit back the diagnosis towards fix/install if the customer chooses to perform the fix then and there. The technician is not really going to spend twice the amount of time. Very Unreasonable Service Center. I wish I could avoid going there. But, there are parts that are available only at the MINI service center. So, I have to force myself to go there. Sometimes, it feels as if the technicians program the cars such that the customers are required to come back to the service center every other month. I am unable to quantify that statement, but that is my genuine gut feeling. Overall - Seattle MINI Service Center : BAD More
GO ELSEWHERE FOR SERVICE! UNFORTUNATELY... This service department is giving MINI a BAD REPUTATION! I LOVE MY MINI!!!! But I will drive to Texas before I go back here. Start UNFORTUNATELY... This service department is giving MINI a BAD REPUTATION! I LOVE MY MINI!!!! But I will drive to Texas before I go back here. Started with my name being backwards, so they didn't see my appointment. Easy enough to fix! I left my car to have a few things looked at. The list of things they came back with that it needed was different on paper than what the service adviser said. The issues I wanted them to look at did not get addressed. Even after I asked three times. When I picked it up "ready" must have meant something else because I waited another 45 minutes for my car. The service adviser magically disappeared when I went to pay. I was overcharged for "Mini Inspection" that was supposed to be covered in the Oil change. But since I was already an hour into "picking up my car" and no service person around, I paid and vowed to write a review so people don't have high expectations of getting good service here. Funny, I was never sent a customer service rating form. I guess they knew!!! More
