Hi folks,

Asking for a friend new to minis. She is looking at a Mini K for sale in the Ballarat area and wanted to get a pre-purchase check done so she knows what she is getting in to. There are obviously a heap of fantastic places around Melbourne and Bendigo but I’m not aware of any Mini (or British classic car) specialists in the Ballarat area.

Anyone got the good oil on places in Ballarat?

I do inspections for them from time to time in my area, they'd have someone around Ballarat. I'm very thorough, I'd hope that the other people they have on their books are the same

There used to be a Mini savvy workshop in Ballarat but I cannot remeber the name, nd it was a while back so may not be there still. There is bound to be Someone who knows minis in the area,
word of mouth may put you in touch hopefully.
