So I've had my Mini Cooper for about two years now and honestly I love the thing, it's fun to drive and parking in Dubai is a breeze compared to my old SUV. But this summer has been brutal on the AC and I swear it's taking forever to cool down when I first start it up. Took it to a random garage near Al Quoz and they topped up the refrigerant but it didn't really fix the issue, felt like they were just guessing. A mate told me to check out

since they supposedly know Minis better than the generic shops, has anyone actually used them for AC work or am I better off just going to the dealer and paying the crazy premium? Not sure if it's a compressor thing or just the UAE heat being its usual self but I'd rather not keep throwing money at diagnostics that go nowhere.
