Brought my '12 VW Beetle to the guys at Select and they did an awesome job. She needed a CV axle assembly, control arms on both sides as well as a full brake job front & rear. They were knowledgeable, friendly, professional and finished the job even faster than I expected. I'd recommend Select German Car Service to anyone who is seeking quality work on their German car.

Select German Car Service has been outstanding from start to finish. Their scheduling software is incredibly easy to use, making booking and managing appointments seamless and saving time. Communication is top-notch as well, with clear and timely text updates so I always know what’s going on with my vehicle. Most importantly, the level of service and expertise is exactly what you want when trusting someone with a German car. They clearly know these vehicles inside and out and take the time to do things right. Professional, efficient, and highly skilled. I wouldn’t take my car anywhere else.

Tom and team at Select German did a great job of fixing my turbo actuator issue. They were also first class in communicating with me and completing the work as promised. It was a pleasure having the work completed there.

WHY CHOOSE AN INDEPENDENT MINI COOPER SPECIALIST?

MINI vehicles have brand-specific electronic, maintenance and diagnostic systems. Our technicians use MINI-capable diagnostic tools and service information to identify faults accurately instead of replacing parts based on symptoms alone.

You receive digital inspection photos of your actual vehicle, a clear estimate and practical recommendations. Our goal is to preserve the responsive driving experience that makes a MINI enjoyable while helping you avoid preventable breakdowns and unnecessary repairs.

MINI Cooper Repair & Diagnostic Services

From routine MINI Cooper service to warning-light and drivability diagnosis, our team provides the repairs and maintenance your vehicle needs under one roof.

  • Check-engine-light and warning-message diagnostics
  • Oil-leak and coolant-leak diagnosis
  • Cooling-system and overheating repair
  • Brake inspection and repair
  • Suspension, steering and wheel-alignment service
  • Engine-performance and drivability diagnosis
  • Transmission and clutch-related service
  • Battery replacement, registration and electrical diagnostics
  • Air-conditioning repair
  • MINI Cooper pre-purchase inspections

Factory-Scheduled MINI Cooper Maintenance

We follow MINI’s applicable Condition Based Service information and factory maintenance requirements while considering the vehicle’s age, mileage, service history and driving conditions. Routine service may include oil and filters, brake-fluid service, spark plugs, coolant, belts and inspection of the brakes, tires, steering and suspension.

Select German Car Service commonly recommends oil service around every 6,000 miles as part of a preventative approach to long-term engine reliability. Every visit includes a multi-point inspection, and you receive a full explanation of any additional maintenance or repairs we find.

MINI Cooper Models We Service

We service MINI Hardtop 2 Door and 4 Door, Countryman, Clubman, Convertible, Coupe and Roadster models, including Cooper S and John Cooper Works variants. Older and newer MINI vehicles can have very different systems, so we base the service plan on the model, engine, mileage and maintenance history.
