Big personality. Small footprint. Zero shortcuts.

MINIs are known for tight handling, turbocharged power, and a personality that’s all their own. But behind their playful design is a precision-built machine that needs skilled, attentive care to stay at its best.

At Northwest European Autoworks, we service MINIs inside and out, from timing chain replacements and carbon cleaning to cooling system repairs and suspension tuning. Whether you’re driving a Cooper, Clubman, or Countryman, we’ll keep your MINI running sharp and fun to drive.

why it’s important to maintain your mini:

MINIs pack serious performance into a compact frame. But under the hood, timing chains, turbos, and tight engine compartments mean there’s little room for neglect. Preventative maintenance helps avoid common issues like carbon buildup, oil leaks, or cooling system failure. Keeping your MINI in top shape doesn’t just protect your engine, it protects the go-kart feel that makes driving one so fun.

we’re excited to serve you
& your vehicle!
