Why Choose Cedar Garage for Your Mini Service?
Mini has been built by BMW since 2001, so it shares much of its engineering with BMW. That's exactly what our German Car Specialists work on every day. We look after every generation, from the first BMW-era Hatch to the latest Countryman and electric models.
We also know what to look out for at service time. Many 2006 to 2014 Minis have a petrol engine that needs the right oil to protect its timing chain. In addition, turbocharged models are prone to coolant and oil leaks. The rear suspension arm bushes are a common wear item too.
As an independent Mini specialist, we never add work your car doesn't need. Our workshop on Rectory Farm Road, Sompting has the equipment to service your Mini to dealer standard. Once the service is complete, we reset the service indicators and update your digital service record. We'll also talk you through anything we've found, so you can plan ahead.
What's Included in a Mini Service?
Every Mini service is matched to your model, engine, mileage and the items your car says are due. Whether it's an oil service, vehicle check or major service, these are the key areas we cover.
Brake fluid & brakes
Pads and discs inspected, with brake fluid renewed when your Mini says it is due.
Lights & service reset
Every light checked, then service indicators reset and your digital record updated.
Oil, filters & DPF
Correct BMW Longlife oil, new oil filter, other filters as due and DPF checks on diesels.
Tyres & wheels
Tread depth, condition and pressures checked, including run-flat tyres.
Steering & suspension
Joints, shock absorbers and bushes checked, including the rear arm bushes Minis are known for.

Mini Fault Finding
An engine management light, a rattle on start-up or a warning in the central display shouldn't be ignored. We use BMW and Mini-specific diagnostic equipment to find the real cause, not guess at parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mini Servicing FAQs
How often does my Mini need a service?
We recommend servicing your Mini at least once a year, and your dashboard will show you when it's due. Not sure? Give us your registration and we'll check for you.
Do you offer interim, full and manufacturer services for Minis?
Yes. An interim service covers the essentials, like an oil change and safety checks. A full service is a more thorough check, and a manufacturer service follows Mini's own schedule. We'll help you choose.
How much does a Mini service cost?
It depends on your model and what's due. Call our German Car Specialists on 01903 830303 or book online with your registration, and we'll confirm the price before any work starts.
Can you service my Mini while it's under warranty?
Yes. Servicing your Mini with us won't affect its warranty, as we follow Mini's schedule and use the right parts.
Can you reset my service light and update my digital service record?
Yes. We reset your service reminder and update your digital service record once the work is done.
Can you service an electric or plug-in hybrid Mini?
Yes. Electric and hybrid Minis still need regular servicing, and we look after everything from the brakes and tyres to the suspension. We don't work on the high-voltage system itself.
If you find other problems during the service, can you fix them on the day?
Where we can, yes. We'll call you to explain and give you a price first, and nothing is done without your go-ahead.
Where are you, and do you cover my area?
Our Mini specialists are on Rectory Farm Road in Sompting, just outside Worthing, with on-site parking. If getting to us is tricky, ask about our collection and delivery service.
