Mini Cooper Specialists
Keep the fun in your Mini, with expert service from German car specialists.
At German Auto Specialists, we service every generation of Mini Cooper — from the classic R50/R53 to the latest F-series models. Our technicians use factory-level diagnostic tools, and we source OEM-quality parts that meet or exceed factory specifications.
Timing chain stretch and rattle is the most serious common issue with turbocharged Mini Coopers (2007-2013 N14 engine especially). The chain stretches over time, causing a rattle on cold start that progressively worsens. Left unaddressed, it can jump timing and destroy the engine. We know this job inside and out.
Oil leaks are extremely common on Minis, particularly from the valve cover gasket and the timing chain cover. Utah's temperature extremes accelerate gasket degradation. We fix these properly and check for secondary damage caused by oil contaminating other components.
Electric power steering pump failure affects many Mini Coopers, causing heavy steering and warning lights. We source quality replacement pumps and install them properly.
Clutch and flywheel wear — Minis are fun to drive hard, and clutches pay the price. Whether it's slipping, chattering, or failing to engage, we replace clutches with quality components and get you back to rowing through gears in no time.
This is an amazing place to service your car. It's the least expensive in the Salt Lake/Utah counties. They do a thorough job and everything is done in a professional way. You can tell their main purpose is to satisfy the customer.
My experience with German Auto Specialists has always been exceptional. They go out of their way to make me feel like a valued customer. I have found them to be trustworthy and honest. I recommend them to everyone.
Fun, fast, and reliable — that's how your Mini should feel. Call us for expert Mini Cooper service at honest prices.
