When breaking our Mini’s down for spares we concentrate on recycling all aspects of the vehicle. When a vehicle comes into stock we use our advanced diagnostic equipment to ensure the vehicle doesn’t display any faults within its central system. If any of the parts are detected as faulty, these are removed from the vehicle along with the debris and disposed of. We will not sell any parts if there is a question of its functionality.
Once a vehicle has been completely checked over, all the salvageable parts are then manually tested and removed from the car to be cleaned and shelved. They’re then stored indoors and ready for immediate dispatch. All of our used parts are supplied with a minimum 3 months, no quibble warranty.
Please see below for more information regarding the main components of a vehicle.
RUNNING GEAR
We have a large selection of running gear available at LA Mini. Before being removed from the donor vehicle our engines, gearboxes and drive trains are tested to the best of our ability using advanced diagnostics systems and closely inspected by hand.
Once we’re confident the running gear is in excellent working order we’ll professionally remove them, make a note of the mileage and store them indoors. All of our engines, gearboxes and drivetrains are supplied with a 3-month warranty and we rarely buy vehicles with high mileage or extreme front end damage.
INTERIORS
The interior of the car makes a big difference to how a car looks and feels. We have a vast selection of seats and interior trim in stock from complete leather heated sports seats, individual cloth seats right through to a glovebox and literally everything in-between.
ALLOYS
We have a wide range of alloy wheels in stock with most styles available so whether you are looking to upgrade to a full set of 18” wheels or whether you require a replacement individual 15” alloy we should have them in stock for you.
NEW PARTS
Not only do we specialise in used spares, we’re also able to offer genuine and aftermarket new parts.
We have a trade account setup with Sytner Sheffield, which means more often than not we’re able to pass on our discount onto you. We’ve also built up excellent relationships with national and local motor factors so can guarantee the quality of any aftermarket part which we supply. All new parts are provided with a minimum 12-month warranty and we even stock certain brands which provide you with a 4 year warranty!
