MINI of West Chester (formerly Otto's Mini)
1275 Wilmington Pike
West Chester, PA 19382
I'm a local guy. I grew up in West Chester and live here still. After graduating from Penn State, I stumbled into the car business. I was really open to any type of job, and I saw that Otto's BMW was hiring. I knew from growing up in the area that Otto's was a well respected local business, so I applied and was hired. After working for BMW for three and a half years, Otto's offered me the opportunity to sell MINIs, which I accepted. I love the whole mindset behind the brand... a premium car that still leaves a lot of room for fun. I've owned a 2014 Cooper 2 Door, a 2014 Countryman, 2017 Clubman, 2019 Clubman, and I'm currently driving a 2023 Cooper S 2 Door. I really pride myself in being friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable. In my mind, the old school days of car selling are over. I strive to make it a fun and engaging experience, which is what I would want if I were buying a car myself.

My fiance and I came to Otto's BMW/Mini to look at a pre-owned Mazda CX-5 that was on the lot. We had been to a few other dealers around the Philly area who were all enjoying the "chip-shortage" inflat pre-owned Mazda CX-5 that was on the lot. We had been to a few other dealers around the Philly area who were all enjoying the "chip-shortage" inflated seller's market. Many of the salesmen at these other dealers had noticeably lazy attitudes when it came to selling their vehicles as well as lack of communication. The general feeling we got at these other dealers was that the customer was expected to work for the sale, not the salesman. This was NOT the case with Otto's. It was a great experience from beginning to end! Pete met with us within 1 hour of closing time on a Tuesday to accommodate our hectic work schedules. He had the car parked out front, ready for us to look at and test drive. He was very knowledgeable about the car, despite it not being a BMW or Mini. And he worked hard to break down the sales figures, registration, and tax in an understandable fashion. We came back at the end of the week to finalize paperwork. We ultimately decided to register the vehicle in FL since due to one of us retaining FL residency. Pete didn't skip a beat with this and was very knowledgeable and efficient in the whole out of state registration process. Ultimately we feel we got the best car for the money in the area and walked away very satisfied with the deal and the whole process. I'd definitely recommend Otto's BMW/Mini. Thanks, Pete! More

Great experience, cannot say enough good things about Pete and Otto's. Extremely efficient, we are repeat customers and I can't imagine buying or leasing a car with anyone else or any other dealer.
