Mini Countryman S - 2.0d - AUTO - Only 58,120km

My son purchased a 1 series as his first car. Big challenge to find the right entry level option and delighted with the car and service we got from Marc and his team. Great knowledge and capability in Clondrinagh. One issue emerged after purchase and was resolved by the team. Many thanks to all.

In 2024 I contacted Marc as my mechanic found metal shavings in the oil filter during service. For reference vehicle is a BMW F10 535D n57B engine. Having contacted a number of garages closer to me (Dublin) I got the sense they (Dublin Garages) didn’t want to do an engine rebuilt and most just seemed off for one reason or another. I found Clondrinagh Motor Centre through Google and after a quick call with Marc I was satisfied they were the people for the job. I knew it would be expensive, but what other car could I buy that gave me the same all round experience for the cost of a rebuild. I did not bother Marc and his crew much other than a few updates during the process as I did not want it to be a rushed job (not insinuating CMC would rush a job; just in general). Anyways I got the car back in November 2024 after a number of months. I service it myself every 5-6k since the rebuild. I have put almost 20k MILES on the car since then and have to say a top quality job and the engine is running perfect. I waited a year to write this review as I had no experience with the company and/or an engine rebuild of this complexity but I feel it is important nowadays to promote and positively review a company who did what was asked of them and didn’t take shortcuts. This was not a cheap rebuild but made financial sense to me at the time. I’d like to thank all who worked on my vehicle in 2024 and wish the company all the best in the future and hopefully this review helps someone else in their decision process and I 100% would recommend CM.

Excellent transaction. Everything went perfectly. The car is in perfect condition. The dealer provided a complete history of the vehicle. Highly recommended!
