I'v been their a few times. It's only a small place but the guy's very friendly and helpful. I wouldn't ever buy a mini from them though lol.

thanks, what about their servicing and repairs then or can u recommend somewhere else near to that?

What work were you looking at getting done mate?
A few good places about the area.
I'm pretty busy with mine at the moment but once i've got a bit more free time i'd be happy to lend a hand.

I go there quite often. I have heard bad things about the cars they sell but they stock a large amount of parts, trevor is very knowlagable and is great to chat to.
I needed a bit of welding doing, (i didnt go with them because of the cost), they showed me some work they were doing on a MK1. It looked pretty imaculate. They did a general look over my mini and told me what sort of condition the mechanics were in. They are good at what they do and knowlagable.

They're a bunch of rip off merchants, avoid at all costs!

A friend of mine paid £3000 for a Mini from them, which was so full of rust it was unfit to be on the road. It came with 12 months MOT. If anywhere other than Minis R Us had done the MOT it would have failed badly! She's now had to sell it for scrap as it was so riddled with rust.

I once got a quote from them to get a rear subframe fitted - £1500!!!!

Go to RJM Minis at Mereworth Farm, Shamblehurt Lane North, Hedge End. It might not look such a slick operation from the outside. However they have many years more experience than Minis R Us, who've only recently jumped on the Mini band wagon. RJM will do a better job, for a much more reasonable price and won't rip you off.

yeh i've used for spares in the past but their cars are massively overpriced. i recommend BJ autobits in cranborne near ringwood, its a bit of a drive but well well worth it. all the big parts i have come from them
