Soap, Motorcycles and Mini Coopers Oh My

I have been busy getting ready for the Hatch Market I almost forgot to promote it. I have finished up the last few batches of soap and have been busy packaging and labeling things and getting my swags ready as well, I didn't realize just how much work it is getting ready. On a lighter note today I went and had new tires put on my motorcycle, yep I am motorcycle soaping kinda girl and now that my bike is ready to roll I see rode trip in the works! But before that happens this weekend I will be in the breath taking mountains of NC for the Mini's on the Dragon MOTD the dragon is a great place if you for the twisties it is 318 curves in 11 miles and dont forget all the other great roads up that way! the views are beautiful!

Mini Cooper

I have found a the most wonderful mechanic here in Atlanta.......Way Motor Works

But first let me say: I saved and saved to buy my Mini and I paid cash for it in 2006 that was a first for me ! 85,000 miles later and I still love it and it runs like a champ.

But I will say the worst experience in owning a mini has to be dealing with the dealerships that service Mini Cooper and there are only (2) in Georgia and believe me you don't want a oil change from anyone else that is not a certified mini tech doing it.....

Mini Coopers service has never been a pleasurable experience.... and if it is warranty work they only fix what you ask for, if something else is wrong they will NOT go above and beyond to ensure your car is right! and they wont tell you if something is wrong they love to tell you things like "Oh no it's not time for brakes" even if they are squealing like a pig but the moment you are out of warranty you will need them! I know.

But this is not about negativity it just a warning, remember if you bought the extended warranty its well worth it but be sure to stand your ground if you don't like what you hear from your service dealer then get a 2nd opinion!

If you are out of warranty? you don't have to use the dealer anymore visit ......
