Southport Auto Repair is a family-run shop on SW 17th Street in Fort Lauderdale. MINI Coopers are BMW-engineered small cars with big personalities — we service them with professional diagnostics, honest quotes and no upsells.

Thorough MINI Cooper care without the dealer experience
MINIs are fun — and they have their own quirks. We know them, from oil service intervals to cooling and electrical gremlins.
We read MINI systems properly and use quality replacement parts. Clear service records keep everything documented.
When a warning light appears, we diagnose first and explain in plain language: what needs doing now versus what can wait. Straight answers, every time.

Malcolm M.Common MINI Cooper issues we see in South Florida
Heat and humidity write the MINI repair list in Fort Lauderdale. Gaskets and seals harden and begin to leak oil. Plastic cooling system parts age and seep coolant. Timing chains on higher-mileage cars can rattle briefly on a cold start, which is an early warning worth acting on. None of these start as big repairs. All of them become big repairs when they are ignored, because a small oil or coolant leak eventually costs an engine its lubrication or its cooling.
Our MINI service covers scheduled maintenance, oil leaks, cooling system repair, brake service, A/C and diagnostics for the Hardtop, Convertible, Clubman and Countryman. If your MINI is showing a new spot on the driveway, a rising temperature gauge or a sound it didn't make last month, call (954) 527-0942 and we'll inspect it and explain exactly what it needs.
MINI Cooper questions drivers ask before calling
Will servicing here void my MINI warranty?
Warranty coverage is set by the manufacturer, not by us, and it varies by repair and part. If your MINI is still under factory warranty, check your warranty booklet or ask us before work begins and we will walk through what applies to your visit.
Can you reset my check engine light?
Yes. We diagnose to find the actual cause, then reset your check-engine and service indicators once the repair is complete.
Do you use genuine MINI parts?
We use quality replacement parts suited to your vehicle. If you want a specific brand or part type, tell us when you request your quote and we will price it.
Do you offer a warranty on repairs?
Warranty coverage varies by repair and part — ask us about the warranty on your specific service before work begins.
