Hi All!
Can anyone recomend somewhere to get my mini's oil changed?
Yesterday I got home from work and my driver side door would not open from inside. When you pull the handle it doesnt unlock. So, I unlock it with my key then when you pull on the handle you have to push on the door. Any idea's?
Thanks

I've used "Grease Monkey" at the SW corner of Guadalupe and AZ Ave for oil changes.... they have the MINI filters on hand and know to use only fully synthetic oil....(they did leave a fully synthetic oily hand print on my car last time though
).... $69.00 and about 20 minutes usually.....

You haven't taught Luka how to get under there to loosen that drain plug yet?
No jacks required then!

Hi Guys!
Is there anyway we can try and schedule it for May 4th? That is a Sunday. We have a lot of boarding dogs this weekend. Next weekend is the Payson clean up. If this works let me know.
You can reach me at the Dog Wash 8-6. If I dont answer just leave a message.
Thanks a lot.
