A friend owns a 2006 MINI Cooper S convertible which is no longer under warranty. Are there any repair shops in Cambridge or Somerville, MA (or nearby) that any members would recommend for both routine maintenance and larger-ticket items? She’s been going to a MINI dealership, but the prices are just ridiculous.  
  
  
  
 Thanks for any feedback.
