REDMOND TIRE FACTORY

We used Redmond Tire Factory.  It was in September 2015.  It cost $550.  Everything works the way it's suppose to. 

overall repair went pretty well but in the end it seems they weren't up to the task of servicing a mini
we had used this shop a few times before for tires and the guy seems pretty good, knows his tires. We even had a car tuned up there.
with the mini brakes however, it was a different thing. just before I was supposed to pick up the car, they called me to let me know it was going to take a another hour, as they finished the repair. When I showed up it turned out that they had finished the repair, but couldn't get the service brakes light to go away (mini is one of these cars where you have to replace the whole brake, pads, rotors, and sensors every time you replace the brakes, ouch). I looked up the procedure on the internet but they said they had their best guy on it. after a few more hours (I think they took the car to another mechanic to see if they could figure it out) I needed to leave (Even though light was still on). I told them I wasn't going to pay for the whole repair as obviously it was not complete. The discussion became pretty unpleasant and in the end they offered me to leave the cost of the sensors off ($50) and come back the next day to have it fixed. I was really unhappy with that but had to leave, took the car and in 5 min ran through the procedure and cleared the light.
Obviously these guys don't have the training to service minis (maybe ok for some other cars)

I've compared the prices from Tire Factory and Firestone, and Tire Factory was significantly cheaper. At this point, I was mainly a Firestone customer, but used Tire Factory for oil change due to their deal with http://www.planetsupersaver.com/ which sells a bunch of coupons for oil replacement, tire rotations, break changes, etc. The coupons cost about $28 and qualify for 3 oil changes / tire rotations plus a bunch of other discount. Just for this service, I saved $70 due to the coupons.
