Service Excellence: Confidence in Your MINI Vehicle

It’s no surprise that the MINI vehicles became so popular. If there was ever an automobile with a distinctive design, it’s this one. Crafted in 1959 by the legendary Sir Alec Issigonis, the iconic design of the MINI is something that must be seen to be believed. These premium small vehicles were first brought to life by the British Motor Corporation, and it’s our privilege to keep them running smoothly here at Canton Tire & Wheel.

More British Than Afternoon Tea

The MINI is a retro design that exudes sophistication with every chassis curve. Although the model has been owned by BMW since 1994, models in this lineup retain their fabled British vehicle charm, including the following: 

• MINI Hardtop 
• MINI Convertible
• MINI Clubman
• MINI Countryman
• MINI Cooper S
• Mini Cooper SE (an electric model)

Each has its strengths and weaknesses, and MINI enthusiasts from all over the world can choose accordingly. But no matter the model of MINI that you own, you’ll need to follow a rigorous maintenance schedule to get the most out of it.
