MINI Cooper Maintenance Plus

Toss the Condition Based Servicing recommendations down the toilet. They are not enough to keep your MINI running well. We have seen the consequences of 10K mile service after the warranty expires: engine sludge, blocked VANOS oil passages, stretched timing chains.


The independent MINI repair community agrees that more maintenance means less down time. We call is Maintenance Plus for More Fun Miles.


We have compiled a handy schedule of recommended preventive services for your MINI. These include servicing your MINI every 6 months or 5,000 miles, and disregard the indicators on the dash.


CarHavn EuroTech uses the legendary LiquiMoly oil with the right approvals for BMW/MINI in the right weight for your car, either 5W30 or 0W-20. If the car needs coolant, brake fluid, filters, or brakes, we can handle that too with top quality at great value.

MINI Diagnostics and Repair

We have been repairing MINIs for many years, and have  many loyal customers and reviews to prove it.


CarHavn EuroTech operates ISTA, the same diagnostic software that the dealer uses. With ISTA, our talented mechanics can read MINI specific codes and perform accurate and fast repairs.


We can replace and program modules also, especially footwell (FRM), CAS, ECM, and TCM.

MINI Cooper Timing Chain

Timing chains in MINIs need to be replaced every 80-100K miles in all engines, especially N12, N14, N16 and N18. Gen 1 and Gen 3 engines may vary in this need.


A timing chain is a precision job that needs to be done by a trained professional. CarHavn has the tools, parts, and extensive knowledge to do this job right.


Make the most of the labor by following our recommendations for other parts to replace!

MINI Cooper Turbocharger

Got a MINI Cooper-S? Congratulations on your jot hatch with great handling and a turbo under the hood!


MINI considers the turbo a wear item, which means it has to be replaced at regular intervals, typically every 80-100K miles.


Here is a secret that can save you hundreds. MINI does not make turbos. They use BorgWerner units. We use the same brand in our service vs. the pretty MINI box - saving. you hundreds for the same job.


We use the manufacturer-approved process with new oil and coolant lines, gaskets, studs, And finish off the job with LiquiMoly Turbo Additive.

MINI Cooper Clutch

True MINI fans drive stick shifts. Not only are they the most fun to drive, but also lighter (as a manual gearbox weights a fraction of its automatic counterpart) and generally longer lasting.


Here is a secret that can save you hundreds. MINI does not make clutches or flywheels - they buy them from SACHS or Valeo. We use the same kits (without the MINI logo) for top quality at a fraction of the dealer price. We have seen the quotes!
