update: I spent 5 hours with Kevin today getting my camshaft installed. He is a great guy and does honest work. Was also very meticulous with his work. I was flabbergasted when I watched him loosening the valve assembly a half turn at a time moving from bolt to bolt in a pattern then repeating. I would have just airwrenched each bolt out like an idiot causing damage. I would highly recommend anyone who needs a pulley done, or any motor or general Mini work (out of warranty) to him.

Not only are they reasonable... They are the bombtastic!! I went there today, O M G it's amazing. They have GT5 set up to a humungous flat screen with steering wheels and pedals. This will be my default garage from now on.
Took mine in for a few normal maintenance things and I have to agree, this place is awesome. He certainly seems happy to be running his own shop and his work shows it. I'm certainly happy to pay for it, and its the least expensive place I've seen around here too! Definitely going to be a return customer!
