Details
Servicing here does not affect your consumer guarantees, and manufacturer warranties generally do not require dealer servicing where the work meets the manufacturer's standards. We follow the schedule, use appropriate parts, stamp the logbook and keep the records.
How we service your MINI
- Your manufacturer's service schedule, for your model, year and engine
- Oil carrying your engine's approval code, from Liqui Moly, Penrite, Motul, Castrol, Mobil and Valvoline
- OE-specification filters from Mann, Mahle, Ryco and Bosch
- Service indicator reset
- Logbook stamped and the records kept
- Price confirmed for your car before any work starts
What can change the price
Service schedule
MINI uses Condition Based Service: the car works out when each item is due from how it is driven, rather than on a fixed schedule. It tracks oil, brake pads, brake fluid and a vehicle check. Your car's own logbook is the final word for your model.
What a generic service misses
- BMW Group oil, not generic
- MINI engines take the BMW Longlife approvals. Which one depends on the engine and whether it has a particulate filter.
- Battery registration
- Start-stop MINIs with a battery sensor need a new battery registered, or it can be overcharged.
- Brake fluid every two years or so
- The service system calls it by age, so a low-kilometre MINI still comes due.

What moves the figure
- How much oil your engine takes
- Engines take different amounts. Yours always gets its full fill, and the price is confirmed for your car.
- The oil your engine needs
- We use the specification your manufacturer sets, from Liqui Moly, Penrite, Motul, Castrol, Mobil and Valvoline. The grade and the brand change the figure.
- Your oil filter
- A less common or dearer filter changes the figure. If a part has to be ordered in, we tell you when we call.
- What your schedule calls for
- Other filters, spark plugs or fluids due at this service are extra items, priced before we start.

With the price for your car and a time that suits. Nothing is booked until you say yes.
Which oil does my MINI take?
The one carrying your engine's approval. On MINI that is usually BMW Longlife-01, BMW Longlife-04 and BMW Longlife-17 FE+, depending on the engine. We confirm it from your rego before quoting.
How often does a MINI need a service?
MINI uses Condition Based Service: the car works out when each item is due from how it is driven, rather than on a fixed schedule. It tracks oil, brake pads, brake fluid and a vehicle check. Your car's own logbook is the final word for your model.
Will servicing here affect my new-car warranty?
No. Servicing at an independent workshop does not affect your consumer guarantees, and manufacturer warranties generally do not require dealer servicing where the work meets the manufacturer's standards. We follow the schedule, stamp the logbook and keep the records.
Details
We are not a MINI dealer and MINI has not authorised this workshop. We are an independent workshop that services to the manufacturer's schedule and records what went in.
Among the most common MINIs on Australian roads: Cooper / Hatch, Countryman, Clubman and Convertible. Whichever you drive, send the rego and we confirm the engine, the oil approval and the price before anything is booked.
