MINI servicing in Maidstone, Kent

MINI servicing covers the Cooper, Cooper S, JCW, Clubman and Countryman. Modern MINIs share their engines and service system with BMW, so they use Condition Based Servicing, tracking oil, brakes, brake fluid and more as separate items.

We read the CBS items, do what your MINI is asking for and reset only those, using oil to the correct BMW Longlife approval. Brake fluid is on a two-year cycle, and on Cooper S and JCW models we pay extra attention to cooling, boost and brakes.

MINI know-how

What we look at on a MINI

Condition Based Servicing

BMW and MINI track oil, brakes, brake fluid and more as separate CBS items. We read each one, do what is due and reset only those items, so the car stays in step with its own schedule.

BMW Longlife oils

We use oil to the BMW Longlife approval your engine calls for, such as LL-01, LL-04 or LL-17 FE+, and the correct filter.

Brake fluid every two years

BMW sets brake fluid on a two-year cycle regardless of mileage. We test it and change it when it is due.

Gearbox and xDrive

ZF automatic gearboxes and xDrive transfer boxes benefit from fluid changes that are often skipped. We can do them in the same visit.

Who looks after your car

The same people,
every visit.

No call centre. The person who books your MINI in can tell you what was done to it. Anything we find is photographed and sent to you with a price before a spanner touches it.

Common questions

How much is a MINI service?
Our guide prices start at £169 for an interim (Bronze) service, £239 for a full (Silver) service and £339 for a major (Gold) service, including VAT. Some MINI engines take specialist or large-capacity oil, which can add an oil surcharge, so we confirm the exact price from your registration first.
Will servicing my MINI here affect the warranty?
No. Block exemption rules mean any qualified garage can service a car under manufacturer warranty, as long as the correct schedule, parts and fluids are used and the work is recorded. We follow the MINI schedule and stamp the book or update the digital record.
How long does a MINI service take?
Most interim services take a few hours and full services are usually same-day. If we find anything else, we call you with photos and a price before doing any extra work.
Can you do an MOT at the same time?
Yes. We can arrange an MOT alongside the service so the car is only off the road once.
