Our visit to Group1 Colchester Mini was excellent, Darren listened to what we wanted and quickly got us the correct specifications that we had desired. We take delivery in February of our new Mini. The video updates with details were very informative and a fun way to remind you what you have just invested in.

Incorrectly attempted to adjust headlight beam height for MOT without following instructions in the owners manual (i.e. use the dial on the steering column), breaking it in the process. Astonishingly they repeated the same procedure on the other side, then told us it would cost more than £600 to replace the headlights. Passed the MOT without any work being done shortly after. They had no need or permission to touch the headlights. They have refused to replace the parts they damaged, offering only a free MOT to compensate. Bought the car new from this physical dealership. 16+ years of loyalty down the drain. MINI HQ toothless. We won’t be buying MINI number 4 as a result.

Paul Dines pulled together a Group 1 network search for a used Mini Countryman for me over a number of weeks. Paul is knowledgeable, professional and provides excellent customer service. He went above and beyond in helping me find the perfect model! Thanks Paul
