I have an intake valve blasting machine and a full set of tools, and I do Mini Cooper work on weekends, in my driveway or yours. You’re welcome to hang out and watch. I’ve done all my own work on every vehicle I’ve owned since I was old enough to turn a wrench.
Mini Cooper Services and Labor Pricing
- Intake valve blasting (carbon cleaning): $500
- Valve cover gasket replacement: $75
- Thermostat housing and pipe replacement: $400
- Spark plug replacement: $75
- Brakes, all four wheels: about $200, a little less for pads only vs. pads and rotors
- Detroit Tuned oil line with all the extras: $700 (overnight job)
Prices are labor only; bring your own parts. I live next to the Mini dealer, and there’s an Advance, AutoZone, and O’Reilly nearby, so parts are easy to get.
I prefer same-day service. Come early Saturday or Sunday and you’ll be out by lunch or shortly after. Let me know what ails your Mini!
