just wondering if anyone could recommend a good place for a rolling road tune up for my mini? i live on the isle of sheppey in kent and dont really want to travel that far but at the same time i want it to go to someone who knows what they are doing with minis. any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

BD engineering in Sittingbourne is supposed to be very good for rr tuning.

All the ones above I'd recommend, BD is closet and is highly recommended, you could also give Andy at ML Motorsport a call and see what he says, he sometimes uses Sanspeed aswell. Fastparts is well worth the trip. Track n road has a bit of a waiting list!

Give them a call to find out and take a little extra, before you get there make sure (pending what issues you have with the car at the moment) you give it a good basic service and fill it up......and check your tyre pressures are correct and don't forget your locking wheel nut key if fitted

Last time I went to BD it was £100 plus VAT for an hours tuning, but he spent an hour and 45 minutes on mine and didn't charge me any extra.
