Second rate service with tricks to compliment - Nate
My wife took her mini in to have a part replaced (vacuum pump) that was diagnosed earlier as failing (why it wasn’t replaced then I don’t know) and after getting the car back it was smoking after she drove it. I looked it over and found oil on top of the engine from the oil change they had done and not cleaned it up. My first thought was that was where it was leaking and where the smoke was coming from so I called Baron and took the car in. The car was smoking again by the time I got it to the shop and it smelled of coolant. after they pressurized the coolant system it was leaking at the thermostat next to the spot where the pump had been replaced (kinda fishy I’d say). After telling Amir how I felt and how Portland OR mini dealer had set such a high bar I was very disappointed in the services my wife was getting and wasn’t to happy that I had to bring the car in myself and babysit this issue to get proper service since they were taking advantage of her. We both talked to the service manager Robert and he agreed after looking I to it that they would replace the thermostat housing for free since it was questionable as to how it was leaking right after the vacuum pump replacement. After getting the car back I was disappointed to notice the oil change sticker was missing now from the last oil change.
I am not impressed at all with this dealer and will be looking for another shop to service the mini from now on since this shop has violated my trust and left enough details undone to make me question the quality of their work.
