MINI vehicles are known for their unique design, sporty performance, and fun driving experience. To keep your MINI running at its best, routine maintenance and expert repairs are essential. At Metro Motor, we service MINI vehicles with precision and care, so they keep their signature agility and reliability.
Our ASE-certified technicians have extensive MINI expertise.
Our ASE-certified technicians have extensive experience working with MINI models, including the Cooper Hardtop, Convertible, Clubman, Countryman, and John Cooper Works. Whether you need routine maintenance or complex repairs, Metro Motor has you covered. Because today’s MINI vehicles share their engines and electronics with BMW, you can also learn more about our BMW service.
We use OEM or OEM-equivalent parts and OEM-level diagnostic tools to get your MINI back in tip-top shape, and we explain every recommendation so you know exactly what your MINI needs and why.
We provide complete MINI auto repair and maintenance services.
From the supercharged and turbocharged four-cylinders in earlier Cooper S models to the turbocharged three- and four-cylinder engines in today’s MINI lineup, paired with manual, automatic, and dual-clutch transmissions and available ALL4 all-wheel drive, MINI vehicles reward careful maintenance. Our ASE-certified technicians use OEM-level diagnostic tools, follow MINI’s factory maintenance schedules, and use OEM and manufacturer-recommended parts and fluids. Our MINI repair and maintenance services include:
- Condition Based Service Maintenance – MINI’s Condition Based Service system tracks when your oil, brakes, and other items are due. We change your oil with the synthetic grade MINI calls for, replace air and cabin filters, service fluids as part of your scheduled maintenance, and reset the service indicators.
- Engine Diagnostics & Repairs – Whether a check-engine light comes on in your Cooper or your Countryman loses power, our technicians use OEM-level diagnostic tools to trace the problem to its source and repair it correctly the first time, from misfires and turbocharger concerns to timing chain, carbon buildup, oil leak, and thermostat housing issues.
- Transmission & Clutch Service – We diagnose shifting concerns and service MINI’s automatic and dual-clutch transmissions with the correct fluids, repair clutches on manual-transmission models, and service the ALL4 all-wheel-drive system on the models that have it.
- Cooling System Service – Compact engine bays run hot. We repair water pumps, thermostats, coolant hoses, and expansion tanks to keep your MINI from overheating.
- Brake System Services – We inspect and replace pads, rotors, calipers, and wear sensors and flush brake fluid on schedule, keeping your braking system responsive and safe.
- Suspension, Steering & Alignment – MINI’s go-kart handling depends on a healthy chassis. We replace shocks, struts, control arms, bushings, and steering components and align your wheels to factory specifications for precise handling and comfort.
- Electrical, Exhaust & Climate Control – From battery testing and alternator and starter replacement to lighting, complex electronic system faults, exhaust and catalytic converter repairs, and air conditioning and heating service, we diagnose and fix MINI systems accurately.
- Tire Services – We mount, balance, rotate, and replace tires, including run-flat tires, to MINI’s recommended specifications for stability and handling.
Every visit includes a free Preventative Maintenance Inspection, and most mechanical and electrical repairs are backed by our 3-year/36,000-mile nationwide warranty. Drop off your MINI and we’ll get you where you’re going with a complimentary Lyft ride. Already have a quote from the dealer? Bring it in for a free second opinion.
When accidents happen, turn to Metro Motor for MINI collision repair.
Even the most careful drivers may need collision repair at some point. MINI builds its vehicles with a rigid, high-strength steel body structure designed to protect occupants in a crash, and a proper collision repair has to restore that engineering, not just the appearance. Metro Motor’s I-CAR Gold Class® certified technicians follow manufacturer repair procedures and use OEM and factory-approved components, so your MINI leaves our body shop in its pre-accident condition. Our collision repair services include:
- Frame & Structural Repairs – Using computerized measuring and laser alignment, we return your MINI’s unibody structure to factory safety and performance standards after an accident.
- Factory-Matched Paint & Refinishing – From Chili Red to British Racing Green, plus contrasting roofs, mirror caps, and bonnet stripes, MINI’s paint schemes demand an exact match. We use spectrophotometer color matching in a climate-controlled booth, then sand, buff, and polish until repaired panels blend seamlessly.
- ADAS Scanning & Recalibration – MINI Driving Assistant features, from Collision Warning with City Braking to Active Cruise Control and Lane Departure Warning, rely on cameras, radar, and sensors. We scan before and after every repair, then perform ADAS calibration to manufacturer specifications so these systems work exactly as designed.
- Bumper Repair & Replacement – From minor scuffs to major damage, we restore your MINI’s bumpers and the sensors mounted in them, maintaining both their aesthetic and structural integrity.
- Glass & Mirror Replacement – A cracked windshield or broken window compromises safety and visibility. We repair and replace windshields, windows, and mirrors with high-quality materials, and we recalibrate the forward camera when a windshield replacement calls for it.
- Dent & Scratch Repair – Paintless dent repair and precise refinishing remove dings and scratches, keeping your MINI looking its best without unnecessary panel replacement.
- Insurance Coordination & White-Glove Service – We work directly with your insurance provider from the first estimate through the final invoice. We’ll tow your MINI to our collision center for free from your home, your office, or any Metro Motor shop, and our towing division can recover it from the site of the accident.
Every repair is completed at our collision centers in Vienna, Virginia, and the Brentwood neighborhood of Washington, D.C., and structural and bodywork repairs are backed by our lifetime guarantee. Request a collision estimate and let us return your MINI to factory condition.
