The Wheels on the Mini Cooper stopped!!!

Recently, a Mini Cooper S, 2007 R56 was towed into our shop.  The owner looked worn and tired and asked if we replace transmissions.

We advised him that we do offer this service but asked him why....he replied (and I quote)

"the dealer said that my Mini Cooper needs one".   

After www.baydiagnostic.com checked this vehicle we found the problem.  It was not the transmission as the dealer diagnosed.  This R56 had FROZEN front wheel / hub bearings.  I guess the polar vortex cold and all the snow and ice combined with the  multitudes of potholes, and don't forget all the salt in the streets, was a factor.

Bay Diagnostic repaired the Mini Cooper and the owner was pleased with the cost (being much less than a transmission as the dealer said) that he also had us perform its 80,000 miles service.

We still don't understand why anyone goes to the dealer.............

safe motoring!
