  2. Priority maintenance for 2006 MCS?

    in Maintenance & Modifications

    Posted

    Can anyone provide a labor cost per hour rate? Seems like that is always a hard bit of information to find on places [especially when considering a new reputable shop over another reputable shop].

     

    Hello Donross.

     

    This is Daniel @PTUNING in Manassas. OP(randmness) came by our shop a couple of months ago for the supercharger service. He also replaced his water pump as well as a bunch of other maintenance items. OP, I hope everything is all well and good with your MINI!

     

    Our shop rate is currently $95/hr for regular labor and $110/hr for fabrication/custom work.

     

    Please feel free to send me a PM or you can send me an email directly at daniel@ptuning.com. I'd be happy to give you a quote or even just chat with you about any services that you may want.

  3. Special Thanks to PTuning

    Hello everyone,

     

    This is Daniel @Ptuning.

    I really appreciate the feedback and the compliments, OP. It means more than you know.

     

    It was a pleasure to coordinate the work for OP, and I am happy to help anybody that might be looking to get service done through us.

     

    If interested, please don't hesitate to send me a PM!

     

    Best regards,

    Daniel@Ptuning

  9. Does your MINI consume oil?

    in Maintenance & Modifications

    Posted

    Thanks everyone for your input.

     

    My 2008 S consume about 1 quart every 1500 miles. So it seems to be on par with most other 07-08 S posted here.

     

    So from the information posted so far, seems like the 02-06 is fine, and the latest 13 model is fine too. All other models should definitely check their oil regularly :-)

     

    Please keep this information coming.

  12. PTUNING: Front Tow Hook Kit w/ provision for camera mount - NEW!

    in Vendor Discussions

    Posted

    I am coming in tomorrow for an alignment att 3:00 pm. You are welcome to check it out while my car is there.

     

    Thank you John for allowing us to use your R53 to test fit our tow hook, and camera mount kit. Yea! it fits perfectly. Check the pictures from the OP.

     

    Later this year, when I finish upgrading my entire entertainment system, I will be looking to "invest" in GoPro, finally... and I'll almost certainly pick up some of these mounts. :top:

     

    Sounds great Edge!

    I just added two more options to the original post for the GoPro camera mount kit only and the POV camera mount kit.

     

    So, you can now buy:

    1. Tow hook kit with optional camera mount adapter.

    2. Camera mount kit only for GoPro.

    3. Camera mount kit only for POV.

     

    If you decide to go with the camera mount kit only and later on want to add a two hook adapter....yes! you can do that too. That is the beauty of our kit, you can interchange them. For those that want to run a license plate relocation kit off of the factory tow hook, we have that too. I will post that shortly.

     

    Thanks again.

    According to REALOEM.com, the tow hook is common across both 1st and 2nd Gen MINI and bunches of BMW's as well.

     

    The part number for it is 72157203519. I was going to drop a list of what vehicles it's used for here but it's a pretty long list.

     

    Thanks cmcveay.

    Yea, we figure the thread pitch is pretty much the same for all MINI and BMW models, but we still need to verify the length of the tow bolt on the first gen.

    So I don't think this qualifies as a performance part... can you confirm there is no member discount on this?

     

    It's consider aftermarket parts, and yes it will qualify for the club discount.

    When we say non performance, we mean OEM or OEM spec parts.

     

    If you order online, please use discount code: ptdcmetrominis

     

    Also, the camera mount adapter (optional) is fully adjustable.

     

    Thanks,

  21. Local shop for shock installation

    in Maintenance & Modifications

    Posted

    Just got back from PTuning. My review:

     

    Pros:

    - Really cool, yet very professional staff. Kept me informed at every stage of the install!

    - Great array of customer amenities...I don't think I've ever been happy to wait for my car...until today. xbox? movies? free wifi? heck. yes.

    - Very competitive prices...my local garage quoted me twice what I paid. with twice the wait time.

     

     

    Cons:

    - Located too far from me. Not fair. :laugh:

     

    Anyway, Mike, if you see this, I really wanted to thank you and shake your hand in person for all the help you've been along the way...unfortunately I handed the guy my keys and fell right asleep on that couch lol...I had just come off an 18-hr shift...I couldn't keep my eyelids open any longer lol!

     

    But seriously, thanks to you and everyone there.

    Thank you Ty for giving PTUNING the opportunity to service your MINI.

     

    Sorry, I was off last Friday and didn't get a chance to meet you in person.

    I'm glad to hear the guys took good care of you and the car.

     

    Look forward to meeting you at the next MINI meet.

     

    Regards,

    REALLY after I just bought mine and had them installed could have saved some $ maybe. Well congrats on being a distributor n installer

     

    Thank you. We will get a lot more MINI stuff listed on our site. In the meantime, don't hesitate to contact me if you need other MINI parts that are not yet listed on our site.

     

    That's awesome news! I'm sure there are lots of folks in the club running around in 1st gen's with worn bushings and they don't even know it. It's like gray hair - you don't wake up one morning with it... it happens over time.

     

    Any suggestions of simple ways that folks can check their bushings to see what kind of shape they are in and if they might need to be replaced?

     

    Simple self diagnostic would be excessive suspension noise/creaking etc. Basically, when you hear something that is not of the norm, it's good to have that check out as soon as possible to avoid further damage. Otherwise, if you should schedule an alignment, our tech can do a visual inspection for you.
