2019 Mini Countryman 4-door

turbocharged 4-cylinder automatic AWD

21700 mi

C $1100
Rotors rusted badly. Mini didn't check them when I had the car in for service in July. Took it in for them to look at as the car would shudder badly under breaking. They said pads and routers needed replacing and that it was normal at 35000KM to replace them. In fact, they said they were recommending that customers replace the breaks and routers yearly (at 2000 a shot). I called Mini Canada and they said that, Mini Canada, was not recommending this and that they would contact the dealer about this recommendation. Anyway, I was mad that they didn't want to place any part of the service under warranty so I took it to a local garage. They recommended I just replace the routers because I still had well over half of the pads left, but stated that I may need to replace the pads too depending on how it all goes. Routers were replaced only as everything tested fine. Not happy with the Mini dealer and will never return until I have to give it back to them after the lease.

Caliper was frozen, which also warped the brakes and pads so they all needed replacing. I got some of it covered by warranty and $900 was the deductible.
