CASE STUDY 1:
A customer had a MINI cooper for sale that I had found on a local garage sale facebook page. This customer stated that the MINI had developed a engine noise and was diagnosed by a auto repair facility that the engine needed to be replaced due to a spun rod bearing. I contacted the customer and asked If I could come and do a house call and diagnose the vehicle in her driveway. I explained that it is unlikely the vehicle needs an engine due to the fact that these vehicle's have a high failure rate of timing chain guides and tensioners. When these fail, they create a knocking noise and if the technician is not trained in European cars, than the diagnosis will be incorrect. The customer allowed me to come up and diagnose her car in the driveway. I used a stethoscope to pinpoint the exact location of the noise and notified the customer that it was indeed the timing chain guide failure. This customer was beyond thrilled. The customer had the vehicle Towed from Apple Valley to my shop, and I was able to repair her timing chain and get their vehicle back on the road.
CASE STUDY 2:
Had a customer call me and ask if I could repair his Mini cooper. There was a connector for a sensor on the engine that was damaged and was told by the Mini cooper dealership that he would have to purchase a whole entire engine wiring harness because Mini cooper doesn't sell just connectors and pins for his vehicle. I spoke with the customer and informed him that Mini Cooper is owned by BMW and that they use the same parts. So I took a look at his connecter that was damaged and took part numbers off his Mini cooper and cross them with BMW parts numbers and ordered a new connecter and pins from BMW. I saved this customer over $3500.00 for this repair just because of my extensive knowledge in European cars and how they are connected with each other.
