I cannot fault the service I received. From making an enquiry via their web site to purchasing the items over the phone, even got some discount! The items arrived the next day and will be fitted at the weekend. Will definitely be my first choice for anything I need in the future.

I ordered a replacement radio on bank holiday Monday and it was delivered in very good protective packaging and I’d fitted it in good working order by Wednesday afternoon, eBay transactions don’t get any better than that. Thanks very much. Highly recommended seller👍😁

Absolutely brilliant service from these guys. Had some older Mini Cooper window sills in stock, that were proving hard to source elsewhere, and managed to securely ship them safely all the way down to Kent for a very reasonable price. Will definitely use again- thank you!

Great service all round, quick efficient & flexible. I ordered a part then realised I'd ordered the O/S rather than N/S, contacted LA Mini and they swapped the item before shipping with no problems and no charge. Can't fault that sort of good old fashioned customer service. Highly recommended

Hands down the best place for all your Mini parts!

Loads of hard to find bits and super quick shipping. Everything from engine, body and interior parts, to those emergency situations when you strip a hard to find bolt 🤣

I got a full Sidewalk interior for my r53 which was amazing quality and really well protected when shipped. Loads of hard to find interior bits, as well as quite a few random bolts that I just couldn’t track down anywhere else. They have saved me from more than a few sticky situations!!

LA Mini Spares are my no.1 go to when I’m looking for parts, as they always seem to have what you need, and more importantly the quality has always been great and they ship super quickly. Would 100% recommend!!

    Our engines are typically supplied as short or bare units without ancillary components.

    Engines must be manually rotated prior to installation to confirm that internal components move freely.

    Warranty cover begins from the date delivery is accepted and applies to the engine unit only. Labour costs are not included.
