Hi every one, After a few hours at the mechanics getting the check done on my mini it turns out it needs a fair bit of work.
Does any one know where the best place would be to go to for the best price for mechanical parts in the south eastern suburbs?

You've opened a can of worms.

It all depends on what parts you need, everyone specialises in something different.
One of the closest suppliers to you would be Josh / miniimports (same username on here), then out from there is minis plus, a grade panels, mini spares and repairs.

Cheap interstate suppliers are the likes of Karcraft or Classic motoring.
Theres heaps of suppliers, hence the can of worms bit so make calls, send emails, and find the supplier that works best for you.

Josh at Miniimports is nearby. Always fun to trawl through his garage...

Hi,
I always deal with Josh and Lindsay. They are great to deal with and their prices are very good too.
One you have the parts rest all easy, I am close by give me a yell if you need any help.
