We offer quality repairs with years of experience!
No doubt you love your Mini Cooper -- and if you purchased new -- your dealer provided service and amenities. But if you are tired of the inconvenience of driving to a Mini Cooper dealer in Denver to get your car serviced -- and you are comfortable with the nuances that come with a small family run shop that is all work and no frills -- then Springs Cooper Clinic in Colorado Springs is the place for you. We are an independent, full service shop that specializes in diagnostic, regular maintenance and general repairs. Mini Cooper are all that we work on and we have a 5 star rating on Google.
The mechanics at our shop have over 100 years of combined experience between them. I would not claim that we are experts on all things automotive, but we are excellent when it comes to most Mini Cooper repairs. And if we don't have the answer, we have the resources to know where to find it. Our Mini Cooper technicians have the hands-on experience to make sure you drive away satisfied, and our entire team is dedicated to providing affordable, high-quality repairs to keep you safe, happy and confident on the road.
Whether you're coming in for a routine inspection, a scheduled service or a major repair, we promise that you will be completely satisfied with our work. All of the work that we perform is backed by our 12 months/12,000 miles workmanship warranty. If you are not 100 percent satisfied with the job that we have done, we will make it right. Period. Our strong reputation depends on it.
We're committed to providing a stress-free experience to new and returning customers. Our shop uses only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) spec Mini Cooper parts -- unless you direct us otherwise. Parts warranties, when available, will be provided by the manufacturers. We want to ensure that your vehicle is always in tip top shape and ready to run when you are!
Only after buying several Mini Cooper for racing purposes did we realize that there is no shop local to Colorado Springs that specialized in just Mini Cooper Service and Repair. And while there are many great automotive shops here in Colorado Springs that do excellent work, many of those shops are not as affordable or as responsive / convenient as they could be. Who wants to wait several days to pay a premium price to get their car repaired. Springs Cooper Clinic is going to change that.
We have been in our current -- very small and not terribly customer friendly -- two bay shop for almost two years now. While our primary business venture (www.LC-America.com) matures -- we need to keep our talented, automotive-minded staff engaged and hungry. So we do what we know -- we fix Mini Cooper and we build Mini Cooper race cars for the local track scene.
Our shop does not need to stay busy 24/7 to be successful. As such, I've suggested to our team that we take on just five vehicles per week to start. We want to provide a level of customer service never before seen and at a price that leaves you smiling. Most independent repair shops charge between $70-$90 per hour and most dealerships charge between $80-$125 per hour and that is just too much! As an independent shop, Springs Cooper Clinic does not have nearly the overhead of a traditional garage, allowing us to provide exceptionally personalized service at more than affordable prices.
We are a "Name-Your-Own-Price" shop for major repairs. We operate under a system in which you -- the customer -- tell us what you want to pay for a particular major service or repair -- unlike the traditional way where sellers quote a certain price. We move forward with the work only if we can come to an agreement on price. I encourage all of my customers to bring me an estimate from another shop and I suspect that we will be able to get the work done as affordably AND more expeditiously than our competitors.
We have all experienced the frustration of a shop that refuses to install parts supplied by customers. And while we understand some of their concerns, we are not going to be that shop. If you bring us a part and ask us to install it for you, we will do our best to accommodate your wishes. Of course we can't always extend a warranty to customer furnished parts, but we will do so if at all possible.
Our shop and our staff is flexible. We are a very low volume shop, and our goal is to keep our workload very manageable -- especially as we start this venture. I want to be available to our customers when other shops are not, and that is why we have evening and overnight hours. The more notice that you are able to give us regarding the work that you need done, the more flexible that we can be when scheduling your appointment / repair.

Your car’s air filter is a key part of your engine’s respiratory system. An engine air filter is responsible for cleaning the air as it enters into the engine compartment. Because this air will be mixed with fuel and ignited during combustion, ensuring that any harmful debris from the outside don’t make it through is key. A clogged air filter impacts fuel efficiency and power and can lead to internal engine component damage.
Starting at $94.00
We offer MINI factory original replacements or the NGK equivalent of the same plugs. Spark plugs are part of the engine that need to be maintained and changed when necessary. Spark plugs will age and as time goes by, the sharp edges wear down, and more voltage is required to bridge the gaps between the center and ground electrodes. The misfires that may occur will increase exhaust emission as well as harm gas mileage and acceleration.
From shocks to springs to water pumps to power steering, we will help keep your Cooper on the road.
Starting at $120 per axle
