Mini World

Had a bad experience over the phone because it seemed like if I was getting attitude. But this was the only place that had the parts for my car. Good thing I went in the guy was so nice, and had the part I needed along with some other parts

If you need your mini serviced at all, don’t bother going anywhere else. They work exclusively on all type of Mini’s and know what they are doing. From small jobs to big jobs, I have always received great service. Literally don’t waste time bad money at the dealers and just bring your baby over to mini wold

Great place to get mini service or parts, Edmond was a great help getting my mini serviced and back on the road for half of what I would have spent elsewhere.

I have been coming here for years. They only deal with minis’ so with that said, don’t bring your crappy ford; consider that trash and get a mini. BUT, if your mini is acting up bring it here. They know these vehicles inside and out. From their inherent flaws to finding the most troublesome failure. They are expedient, professional, and fair. I feel they care as much about my mini operating at its best as I do. They continue to be my go to resource from repairs, new parts, or gently used parts. Simply awesome. Keep up the good work!!!

Drove all the way out there to pick up a part that they said they had. Dude wouldn’t pull it for 3 days. Terrible service. Would not recommend them

I read Valentine’s testimonial about Mini World a few days ago and thought I’d give it a try. Edmond is awesome, and totally took care of all my mini needs in the heat — so helpful and kind — Very Knowledgeable !! And yes, Valentine, it’s great to have a new mechanic. I suggest you give them a try as well if you’re against overcharging from the dealer. Peace. G.

After a nightmare with Universal City Mini, Mini World has been a dram come true!
First off, they don’t charge any fees for a diagnostic, which I love! And the guy is always really straightforward about what needed to be done to the car and the urgency. When I had taken the car to the dealership they couldn’t tell me what exactly the issue was but recommended about 3k in work, that they said would fix it. Mini World figured it out in about 15 mins for $ 250.
I’m so happy to have found my new mechanic!

We visited Mini World when the radio on our Mini stopped working. The dealer wanted over $ 1500 to replace it. We went to Mini World, and were blown away by the kindness and help we received. The man helped us troubleshoot which part we needed to replace, and even let my husband plug several parts in to see if each one solved the problem. After trying out three different parts, we finally found the one which fixed the radio! Without his troubleshooting ability and help, we could have easily spent hundreds more dollars to find the problem. These guys know their minis well and this is an invaluable resource to have as a mini owner. We highly recommend Mini World for any part you may need to replace!

I was referred to this place by another mechanic that promised me a part they didn’t have. I was stressed out, angry, and trying to fix a car that I needed to sell the next day. Thank you to Edmond, who ended up saving me twice in 24 hours.
The first time, someone had stolen one of my custom side mirror caps and I needed to fix the situation before selling the car. Both the dealership and another parts place failed me, giving me replacement parts that didn’t fit my model. I was referred to Mini World, where Edmond dropped the work he was doing and replaced both of the side mirrors for cheaper than the price of buying one new cap. He is very to the point and honest and gets the job done.
The very next day, I wound up at Mini World again. Less that 4 hours before I was supposed to trade in my car, the latch on the back door broke. No reason, no warning. The dealership said it was an electrical issue and quoted thousands (yes, thousands) to repair. I went to Edmond for a second opinion. He again dropped what he was doing to help me, knowing I was on a time crunch. He installed a new latch and charged me 70 bucks. He also took the time to advise me on what to expect for my trade in value and how not to get screwed over by the dealership.
Thank you to Edmond. I can’t recommend this place highly enough, and I’ve already text all my friends with Minis to pass along his info. It’s hard to find a mechanic who knows his craft and is trustworthy, and I’ve found one here!

Mini world does it all. I’ve been going to mini world for the last 2 yrs. I had breaks done, oil change, transmission service, tires etc… and not once have I ever had a bad experience. Edmond and his team have great customer service. There trust worthy people. From my experience they have had all my work done in a timely manner.
I remember one time when my coolant tank broke it was around 3:30 pm I was coming from Hollywood and I called Edmond knowing that his shop was getting to close for the day. I explain to him what happen and he told me he will wait for me drop the car off and he will work on it in the morning. Edmond and his team waited over 1 ½ hours for me to arrive.
If you have a Mini Cooper I highly recommend Mini World

I’ve been here 3 times for oil changes in my R56. Each time I’ve received exceptional customer support and they always take great care of my car.
When I get my oil changed I ask them to not reset the service counter. I do this because I change my oil at the 7500 mile mark instead of Mini’s recomended 14k. I’m still under my complimentary service so Mini will change my oil for free every 14k. Basically I pay for one, Mini pays for one, I pay for one, and so on.
Last time they reset the counter out of habit but told me that if Mini would not change the oil in 7.5k miles for free to bring it back and they would. I didn’t get it in writing or anything so I assumed I would be out of luck when I went back 6 months later. To my surprise, when I returned they honored their prior verbal promise and I received a complimentary oil change for their slipup.
The point here is that they run an honest and reliable business. And I will continue to come here as long as I own my Mini!

I can not give Mini World more than 2 stars, here’s why.
I purchased 2 things from Edmond and both items, a sun-​roof cassette and a hand-​brake cover, I’ve had to do the logistical work that they were supposed to do. It’s not my job to continuously call to make sure that these items I paid for were shipped; especially when Edmond said that said items were shipped.
At 2:30pm I called Mini World and Edmond claimed (without any doubt) that the sun-​roof cassette was on the truck and on its way to my guy for install. It never showed up. Instead, my installer calls me to tell me that Edmond never shipped it. To Edmonds defense, he called to tell my installer that the cassette was defective and can’t be installed, however, Edmond placed the call an hour AFTER I called to check on the shipping. Did he ship it like he without any doubt said he did? No. It eventually arrived late 3 days later.
The other item I ordered was never shipped… period. Edmond said he shipped it on 2 occasions. Each time Edmond acted as though it was 100% for certain on the truck and on its way to my installer. Never showed up because it was never shipped. I had finally had it. I called Edmond today at 9am. He still acted as though it was shipped until I told him to reverse the charge for the hand-​brake cover. Without even missing a beat or asking why, he said «okay, I need your card number». He NEVER SHIPPED IT!
So why did I not give him less than 2 stars? Because the prices are unbeatable. Now I know why his prices are unbeatable… I feel that since I’ve been doing all the logistics I must be getting the «employee price».

Service was excellent, efficient and fast!!! Super knowledgable!!! I’ve worked on cars and I am a car buff. I’ve dealt with many mechanics and dealerships, by far this is the best!!!

Do you drive a Mini? Is it out of warranty? Then you must, MUST, go to Mini World.
But it’s so far away and in the middle of nowhere, you say. True.
But I don’t know if I trust anyone other than the dealer working on my Mini, you say. Okaaaaay. Go get in your car. Drive to the bank. Withdrawal a few thousand dollars in cash, give or take a thousand. Get back in your car, get on the freeway and start tossing cash out of the window. That’s what you might as well do if you go to the dealer. You are LITERALLY throwing money away.
The dealer will try to scare you and say that a regular mechanic will use inferior parts. And you won’t get the 2-​year warranty. This is b.s. and you shouldn’t fall for it.
As I mentioned in my previous review, I’ve been lucky and haven’t had any problems with my Mini. Until last week when my stupid clutch went out. Nick Alexander quoted me $ 3,000-$ 4,000. UM. SERIOUSLY??? I remembered Mini World, so I had the car towed there instead.
The repair took a day and a half. And most importantly, it cost about ¹⁄₃ the price quoted by Nick Alexander. I picked it up this morning and it feels great. It comes with a 1-​year warranty on parts and labor. Edmond also saved the old parts to show me how it had worn out. That’s something mechanics are supposed to do, but rarely do.
Thank God I found this shop.

Timely and quality service. Replaced my Mini Coopers engine and gave me a great warranty. These guys really stand by their work. Will certainly continue to bring my car here for service if you own a mini cooper I highly recommend you do too. Edmond is very friendly and knowledgeable and awesome at keeping you up to date on all the work being preformed. I work in the automotive industry with 15+ years of experience and its really nice when you meet someone who knows what their talking about. 5 out of 5 and two thumbs up!

This was the first time I’d veered off from my regular mini mechanic but I moved to LA and was looking for a place closer to home.
Whaddya know. A place in my neighborhood and all 5 star reviews?! FATE!
I didn’t make an appointment because I wanted to check the place out (my car is my baby and you don’t drop off your baby to just anyone). The guy at the front desk (owner) was super cool. I told him what issues I had been having with my car. He took a look at the car himself, explained what was going on and then told me to call another place to get the work done for free. Whaaaaat? Well, apparently the issue was still covered by warranty. So he told me exactly who to call and what to say.
Well, long story short, the owner turned out to be such a cool, genuine guy, I decided to get my oil changed while I was there. Cheaper than my last mini mechanic, fast, and great attitudes by the entire staff.
I’ve decided to make Mini World my new shop! They’ve definitely earned this customer.

Good honest folks won’t steer you in the wrong direction.

An invaluable resource. For a recent visit I needed to acquire a driver’s seat rail; Edmond was extraordinarily helpful, even showing us how the seat rail assembly is removed and installed. The prices are quite decent: what I needed was less than half of the cost of a new part.
Will definitely be returning for the various things I need for my 2006 Mini Cooper S.

I liked this place. They seemed to have good prices, they were CLEARLY Mini-​centric with a number of minis in the lot being worked on. So far brakes are great and fixed lights all working swell. I’ll definitely be using them again.

I have a 2009 Mini Copper S that recently went out of warranty. I took my car for oil and break service to Mini World and they did a fantastic job.
They’re very attentive, quick and good at what they do. I also found their prices to be very reasonable.
I’m definitely bringing my car back to Mini World. Great job, highly recommended.
