If you need to get your Mini Cooper serviced, don't just take it to any mechanic or third-party garage. Your Mini Cooper dealer offers all the essential services your car needs to keep it running like new. more 6 Essential Services Available at Your Mini Cooper Dealer Oil Service Mini Coopers should have their oil changed every 4,000 to 6,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first. However, you don't want to trust your car to just anyone. At a dealership, you'll get an oil service that is both comprehensive and eco friendly. Factory-trained technicians use only premium synthetic oil with a viscosity grade of SAE 0W-30, and an authentic Mini Cooper oil filter so that your car is getting exactly what it was engineered to receive. Brake Service Your brakes are the only system in your car preventing you from crashing into other vehicles or objects. They need to be properly maintained to ensure they continue to do their job. Mini Cooper certified technicians know the vehicle's braking system inside and out, from the pedal and fluid to the rotors and brake pads. Your brakes are too important not to have them serviced by technicians that are Mini Cooper experts. Wheel Alignment If your wheels aren't properly aligned, your car will want to drift into a direction you may not want it to go. This can cause additional wear and tear on various vehicle parts. Fortunately, your dealership offers wheel alignment services to ensure your vehicle's on the straight and narrow. Since your Mini Cooper requires a special tool to precisely align your wheels, you'll want to take it to a Mini Cooper service center to ensure your alignment is done properly. Multi-Point Inspection Whenever you bring your Mini Cooper in for an oil change, you'll also get a complimentary multi-point inspection to ensure your car is safe to be on the road. Your brakes, air filter, belts, hoses, and tires will all be inspected for damage or excessive wear and tear. If our factory-trained technician finds a problem with any part, they'll make a recommendation to either repair or replace it, which they can then take care of right then and there. Tire Rotation To prevent uneven wear on your tires, you want to have them rotated on a regular basis. Rotating your tires involves moving your front tires to your back axle and your back tires to your front axle so they can wear evenly. Tire rotation is typically recommended whenever you have your oil changed, and the tread of your tires will be inspected at the same time. So, if you need new tires, our technician can help you choose your replacements. Battery Services You'll want to keep your battery fresh so that you don't wind up on the side of the road with a car that won't start. Your Mini Cooper service center will test your battery for you and let you know if it needs to be replaced. Plus, they'll have the right battery for your specific car on hand to replace your old one. There's no need to go anywhere else for Mini Cooper service since your dealership offers all the essential services you need.
