I expected the oil monitor to be reset. It was not. Suspecting the oil had not been changed, I asked &amp; found out that the oil was changed but the mechanic had neglected to reset the monitor. I was informed the muffler needed replacement (quoted $1600 to $1800). Having my own mechanics, I wanted to see how difficult the repair &amp; parts were before committing to that. On the way down, not being familiar with the passenger seat (I usually drive), &amp; wanting to recline, I somehow clicked the releases in a way that made my seat permanently recline. I forgot to mention it when I dropped the car off, &amp; now the staff said that it was too late for the mechanics to look at it. They did let me know a seat would cost $800 for the back or if it needed the whole seat - $1500-$1800?! We had only paid $1,500 for the car.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the way home, I noticed the car lacked power, also a light appeared on the dash saying the gas cap was not tight. The cap seemed tight - but the light did not go away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I ordered a new gas cap. When I installed it, even though it was supposed to fit, it didn\u2019t allow the cap cover to close. I had to order another one. The gas cap light still came right back on for both gas caps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Up on a lift (to inspect the muffler) I noticed a hose unplugged. I could see where it plugged back in - after doing that the power was restored &amp; the gas cap light went out! In the mechanics manual, I found out this hose went to half of the turbo. That was $45 in gas caps (I had to buy two), not to mention the irritation of disposing of the apparently \u201cfine\u201d original cap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I found a muffler for $300 &amp; the repair was not much of an issue for my own mechanics. Not sure why that repair was nearly $2,000 for Sharpe to accomplish - other than it seems to be their \u201cnumber\u201d to do much of anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I discovered Sharp had broken my dipstick off. Mini Cooper dipsticks are plastic &amp; bend &amp; it is understandable that it could break - but it would have been nice to have been told that they broke it. $$<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was unhappy to discover the seat not coming up is a common, known, easily fixed issue. There are online videos (one put out by BMW) not to mention forums that explain how this simple fix works.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had to return to GR for an event &amp; it was a chance to address a recall notice, also we had noticed an oil cooler leak that looked like a job for the dealer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sharpe mechanic found that the control arm bushings needed replacement. That meant we needed an alignment which would take an extra day. This ended up being a 3 day affair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I got a call that the car was READY. I was located about 30 min away - but I told them I would be right there. When I got there, after waiting 10 minutes (remember, they called to tell me it was \u201cready\u201d) I was told, \u201cit needed to be washed.\u201d If it was \u201cready\u201d why wasn\u2019t the car washed &amp; sitting there? It took nearly another HOUR before my car was brought out - very ODD!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, when the car was brought out, it was dripping wet! I grabbed a cloth to wipe the windows off so that I wouldn\u2019t get water spots. It didn\u2019t occur to me to examine the car closely, but I now know that this was someone\u2019s way of trying to hide the damage that I found when I got home. Focusing on getting water spots off my windows I missed the damage. When I left the dealer I went to an empty driveway &amp; loaded up my things from my friend's house - then drove to northern Michigan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the morning, I discovered the car had been hit (I have a remote driveway &amp; no one else uses it - it did not get hit here). The damage was not easy to see, as evidenced by the photos, but it went into the underbody &amp; was expensive to fix.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1623\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1623\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1623\" src=\"https:\/\/frankrogala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0533-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Damage to 2005 Mini Cooper near headlight\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frankrogala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0533-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/frankrogala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0533-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/frankrogala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0533-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1623\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Damage to 2005 Mini Cooper near headlight<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1624\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1624\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1624\" src=\"https:\/\/frankrogala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0532-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Damage to bumper\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frankrogala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0532-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/frankrogala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0532-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/frankrogala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0532-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1624\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The paint on the bumper is evidence the car was hit.

The repairs cost $3,000 &amp; I had a $500 deductible on my insurance - again $$$<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Worse, my insurance company took exception to the fact I was in MI (but am a resident of CA) which resulting in having to switch insurance companies - just after a claim - which effectively doubled my insurance costs. More $$$<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something is very wrong here. I recommend everyone be very careful.
