Report
Had multiple fault codes/warning lights pop up - ABS, PSM, etc. and an air bag system warning message. First trip took care of the warning (idiot) lights which restored cruise control, PSM, etc. But, despite work done didn't fix the air bag system issue. Second trip, with outside help, got that fixed, too. I applaud their sticktoitiveness! Thanks to the staff and Sebastian, the owner for going above and beyond.

This was my first time having my MINI repaired by ArborMotion and my car is back to running beautifully again. They got me in quickly, kept me updated on how it was going and did what they said they would do. Nicely done! Services: Electrical repair, General repairs & maintenance, Oil change, Air & cabin filter replacement

Report
Arbormotion is the complete service resource. As usual, I was greeted, my vehicle records recalled, an appointment scheduled and service performed on time and on budget. The vehicle was examined for issues as part of the process. I can only join hundreds of others n commending the courtesy, professionalism and expertise to be found at Arbormotion!

Update: Sebastian the owner gave me a call and corrected the issue by giving me a refund. He was very apologetic and I felt like he truly cared about my experience and the reputation of the company. 1 star to 3 stars after two phone calls. Terrible experience. Dropped my car off for a check engine light that indicated my thermostat needed to be replaced. Even though the issue was already known when I walked in, they charged my $150 dollars to "diagnose it" with no mention of this cost up front.
After receiving their estimate (also double + what other estimates were) I decided not to go with them. When I questioned what they did to diagnose the problem they had no information besides checking the light - which was completed before coming in and takes 30 seconds - 1 minute to do. 0 issues fixed, 150 dollars spent with no explanation or heads up. I will be telling everyone I know not to use this shop.
