Hi guys/gals,
Does anyone know what minispeed is like as a garage? As i might send my mini to their rolling road for tune and fault diagnosis.

No not at all, I personally havent had any experiance with them. I am sure people will be along soon with good and bad stories but I just thought the search bar might be useful for you

Never had any experiance with the garrage side of things.

But the quality of their parts is just awful ive never seen such poor quality, poor fitment items. I have bought many things from them, and all bar the branded items (which were fine) have been returned because they either didn't fit, or broke.


i would never, ever use the company again.

I don't want to disparage anyone, but: BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID!
They nearly ruined a Cooper 'S' engine I built a few years ago on their RR as it came back running so weak it would hardly run. A few miles and the pistons would have burned out! It had to go to Peter Baldwin's RR near Cambridge to be put right
Maybe they have improved since then - I do hope so.

On the other end of the spectrum.......

I've got a shed load of receipts from minispeed and minispares and never had any problems with either on any items, whether its been by post of popping into the premesis. Its the only two companies I use.

Rolling road differs up and down the country, there one is very generous on the reading.

Whether you choose to go there is up to you, no company is perfect.
