I purchased a 2021 3 Dr. Mini Cooper in November of 2021. I have bought and sold many vehicles on my own, as a woman through the years and I must say this is/was the best ex Mini Cooper in November of 2021. I have bought and sold many vehicles on my own, as a woman through the years and I must say this is/was the best experience I have had to date. With the trade in of my jeep and making a huge transition into a mini, I knew this was going to be a big change. I was absolutely thrilled with the salesman, Tristian Price- from start to finish he was top notch. When I took my jeep in to do the trade and complete the purchase from Grand River Mini - again it was with comfort and ease all credited to Tristan! I am sorry to say i cant remember the name of the man who went over my mini with me upon delivery , showing me all the buzzers and bells and even giving me his number to call him any time if i had any issues or needed help trouble shooting any thing down the road. Even when i returned for my first oil change, i couldn't have been happier with everything Grand River mini did for me from a sales and delivery experience. As a former Jeepster and previous owner a Toyota and 4 Volkswagens, i thought this is my jam...this / these cars for me . This is the way im going....make the transition into a BMW- baby steps. Top notch 10 out of 10 for sales and delivery, and i think at one point i even said to Tristan- see you in 3 years when you move to the BMW side. I do not want to take anything away from Tristan Price, my experience, the purchase and delivery, the ease and comfort of the purchase, mentioned above it was absolutely top notch!! If you are looking to buy a car a Mini or a BMW- his is your guy. Unfortunately, my recent experience with the service department has left me unsettled and disappointed. but that is for another review. After all this is what reviews are all about - sharing experiences with others. Thanks again Tristan - you were the bomb! More

Back story- I recently purchased a 2021 MINI from Grand River BMW Mini in November 2021. During my purchase, I received free oil changes with part of my purchase/warranty and had received/got the servi River BMW Mini in November 2021. During my purchase, I received free oil changes with part of my purchase/warranty and had received/got the service done for 2 thus far >>I believe they were free since I did not have a charge when I got the work done. A notification came up on my screen in September "front brake pads" and another "oil change". ** with just under 26,000 km. I emailed AND called Grand River Mini Service and asked for a quote for the front brake pads ** that was what my screen was indicating. ( which actually means front brake work not just pads). In my opinion this is where things went sideways. I received a first quote $1219.01 (S.K), then i got a 2nd quote for $1069.03 (N.S) then a third for $861.55 (M.D) all quotes with in a 24 hours period. I then asked for a clear explanation how the quotes could have such a variance. Grand River Mini emailed me back with the summary details, the break down of parts/labor and taxes, and I could clearly see how the third and final quote was so much cheaper than the initial, upwards of $400 and then, suddenly, after two quotes they informed me "if I get the work done there, I would get a discount" WOW I thought, great a discount!! SIDE BAR- On the third quote, they also sent a quote for the rear brake work , I was like "oh no do I need my rears done too" and they said no, no, its just for the future. At this point I was baffled at how there could be such a variance. Was it really as simple as a discount....even looking at the breakdown I was still confused. Because I am out of town, I thought what to do? I will swing by and just see our local mechanic, talk to him about it, and ask what would charge and if he could do was was required. He was as shocked and confused at the variance in prices, but he did explain to me this is how dealers "sometimes" need to operate, sure they have high volume but more costs. OK so, granted the last quote was "somewhat" reasonable, i guess?? ( front brakes, after all, it is a MINI- part of the BMW family - and I knew what I was getting into with the possibility of higher prices in parts/repairs/maintenance when the time came and was /am fully prepared for that being a different brand than I previously had). Nevertheless, because of the distance and the quotes being off so much, and how that made me feel, only offering this discount in the end. It left me feeling flat and unsettled. What if I just went with the first quote? What if I didn't inquire further? What do I know.. it is what it is? Get the work done and pay the man and carry on, right? This was a month ago, and I wasn't going to write a review because at the time I was really upset, How can the variances be, What if i never inquired past the first one, Are these guys messing with me? Overthinking likely. I calmed myself down and I decided to let it go ...thinking this is never a good time to write a review. In the end, I decided to go with our local mechanic, saved the time on travel, got the work done for less- same work same parts and peace of mind. But then this week, I received a notification from Grand River MINI in my email that there was an appointment made for me to get brake work and an oil change ( an appointment I never made ????) I thought oh gee, am I going to get charged for this- you know like when you miss a dentist appointment sometimes they charge you ) so I cancelled it as best I could. Now that time has past, I thought a review is the way to go. In my opinion, This is what reviews are for.......to help people when they are looking to make a decision on things. Good / Bad/ Indifferent. In my opinion, this is precisely why sometimes getting service done at a dealership leaves people feeling unsettled. In my opinion sometimes this is why you have to find a mechanic that you "trust", If you are lucky enough, one that explains everything to you, educates you, for those of us who are not car people, those of us who have no idea how much these things cost/labor parts etc. At the end of the day I do so love my MINI and will likely stay on my path..... stay with this brand....understanding full in well I need to keep my regular scheduled maintenance up to date to ensure the remaining warranty holds. Unfortunately, my services, my maintenance, free or not............ will not be done at Grand River Mini. More

Exceptional service and attention to detail throughout the whole process of replacing my Mini Cooper Countryman’s front windshield. Took a bit longer than expected as a sensor module needed replacing, but the whole process of replacing my Mini Cooper Countryman’s front windshield.
