Hey there,

Well I took my beloved Mini which I bought a few months ago for her M.O.T and she failed spectacularly. She needs a lot of work done:

-Front wheel bearings
-Rear wheel bearings
-n/s and o/s sills to be repaired
-Rear shocks
-Rear radius arms
-Rear brakes balanced

So I need a place that will do the mechanical work and the welding in the Edinburgh area. Does anyone know of a good garage that can do both? Any help would be great.

Thanks!

There is also Theminiworks in Prestopans, like Mcdonald minis its about 40 mins by bus from Princes street.

Having used both of them in the past, both are good competent garages and theminiworks always has some nice period minis parked outside :D
