Grateful to the knowledge and expertise of WayMotorWorks! Way went out of his way to diagnose an issue with our Mini while we were at Mini in the Dragon. We would be stranded and hiring a tow truck and a rental to get us back to Indiana had he not gone the extra mile to assist! Forever grateful and would highly recommend for all your Mini repair or upgrade needs! read more

Way Motor Works - Auto Repair Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Wayland knows his stuff! I have a friend who lives in Boston, bought a 2006 MCS and spoke with Way on the phone way back when & was very impressed with Wayland. FF nearly 20 years and when said friend found out I bought a used 2003 MCS he begged me to have WMW do their own inspection, and told me he'd pay for the inspection himself because he was so impressed. A year into ownership I discovered the passenger side control arm bushing was totally disintegrated and I finally took the plunge and drove a couple Counties south to Way Motor Works. I'm glad I did. He showed me all the different bushings that were failing on the front end and replaced them all with polyurethane bushings, fixed my boogered front passenger spring (newb tip: they are asymmetrical on Gen1 minis), replaced some seals and put a 10% supercharger pulling on for an extremely respectable price. I think he even fixed the rattling HVAC blower without telling me. I had a coworker who has raced amateur for 80% of his life to weigh in on Wayland's commentary during pickup of vehicle and as ornery as my coworker is he didn't have anything to complain about, which is saying a lot if you knew B-Rob. Anyways, so long as I've got money in the bank I look forward to the next repair or upgrade needed because I know a trusted resource to take my car and that means everything. read more

Way Motor Works - 2003 Mini Cooper S - Auto Repair Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The owner was gracious enough to answer several questions I had regarding my R53. We discussed what I had purchased and came up with a better game plan to more efficiently increase power. He could of just taken my money by doing a tune as I originally ask for. Instead, I bought better parts through Way Motor Works to meet my needs. I still have a ways to go, but at least now I have a sound plan. I'm in a north Dallas suburb, but shipping was FAST without even asking for expedited shipping. Great team of professionals who car about their customers; not just their money! read more

I have a 2006 R53 purchased new direct from the factory with specific options. Over the years I learned about Way Motor Works through research and recommendations from fellow Mini enthusiasts. With 92K on the clock we are upgrading it to run another 100K. I just bought a pair of Hotchkis Adjustable lower arms from WMW. As usual, when dealing with them I find them to be straight forward, helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in my projects. I recommend them for all things Mini! Thanks folks, Don Scott read more

Way Motor Works - One of the cars serviced at WayMotorWorks. - Auto Repair Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Way Motor Works has been my primary part supplier for my 2011 S Clubman and 2006 R53. I find Way to be the most honest and sharing MINI enthusiast! Steve Wright Native Texan read more

Just wanted to write a quick review. This shop is amazing!! Great service and great advice. I appreciate what he has done with my 2012 Mini Cooper and I look forward in buying products from Way Motor Works in the future! Thank you again!! read more

Ordered a new set of the Union Jack Tail lights as this is one of the only suppliers that has the genuine mini parts. I placed the order on a Sunday and had them at my door by Wednesday. These were so well packed and arrived without a scratch. They kept me updated about the shipment from the time I placed the order to arrival. The guys in shipping seem to be some of the best!! I would highly recommend ordering your Mini parts from them as its great to have such good care and customer service. John Hamilton Roanoke Texas read more

If you are clueless about BMW's/Mini's PLEASE go there! They LOVE chump$! They claim my radiator has a "terrible leak" and wanted $1,600 to replace it. Funny thing is the water level doesn't drop & the engine coolant gauge does not move above dead center--even on 6 hour drives @ 70+ MPH to Virginia. Just for shits and giggles I decided to price this job elsewhere: Pep Boys [and they're HIGH!]: $450. Way Motor quotes $1,000 for the radiator itself. Pep Boys: $250. eBay: less than $100 Brand New. Draw your own conclusions.... read more

I love having the opportunity to give a business FIVE stars, and Way Motor Works deserves all five. My 2004 MINI Cooper S was ready for its 50K tune-up. While I was dropping it off, Way casually mentioned that now would be a good opportunity to swap out a pulley if I was interested in an additional 20 horses. The price was reasonable since work was already being done. Way said the mod is one of the least expensive options for obtaining additional horses. The bump up in power is fantastic! I'm so pleased with the install. My car purrs like a kitten, but moves like a cheetah! I'm delighted with the service and value I received at WMW. Way and Jason are my new heros! I will certainly return the next time my MINI needs any kind of service. read more

Way Motor Works is honest, fair, and they KNOW Minis. I had ongoing problems with my MINI that even the dealer couldn't figure out. Way drove my car around the block, and immediately knew what was wrong. Their service is fast, top-notch, and fairly priced. The guys at WMW will go out of their way to take care of you. They truly love MINIs and share our passion for these cars. Way knows how to eke out the best performance from every MINI. Whether it's repair work or performance mods, follow Way's advice and you won't go wrong! read more

Way at Way Motor Works is the best source for MINI parts, service, and advice as well. Way really knows his MINIs and does excellent work on them. I have had multiple MINI Coopers worked on by him and his staff and every time they've installed a part (exhaust, springs, pulleys, sway bars, etc.) it's always been the right choice for that car. WMW's on-site installs at MINI-related events like AMVIV in Las Vegas is great! You can have your car in and out in a very reasonable amount of time. If you're not in the Atlanta area (I live in CA), but need parts, waymotorworks.com is really easy to navigate and order from, and parts arrive pretty quickly. Don't hesitate to bring your MINI to WMW. You can't go wrong! read more

Three mail orders and three perfect shipments. Got all my parts on time and email updates along the way (pun intended) When I got my new plugs and wires to go with my new supercharger pulley I wasn't sure about the gap...emailed Way and asked and got an answer back within minutes! So far all I can say is that Way Motor Works over the course of several orders has performed flawlessly. I have had no communication issues at all and I will continue to shop here. read more

Very rude customer service. Placed an order got a vague reply late at night -and proceed to call and the lady on the phone told me to reply to the e-mail that when the technician has time... he will reply. I told her time is money and it will take minutes to relay the message ... in which she declined to do!!... in other words... I don't care!! Reply to the e-mail and we get to you whenever we feel like it.!!! read more

This is where I get all of my mini parts (I have 4 of these darn cars so I get a lot of parts....) and Way is great! He makes good recommendations and ships parts very fast! I had an ECU tune done on my R53 by mail and I had it back within 4 days of sending it to him. The tune was great with no issues and excellent performance! Thanks Way! read more

I live in Colorado so I can't bring my car in for service but I wish I could. I've only been able to order parts and get advice and I've been doing so since 2005. Every experience has been great. The advice has been well considered and is always spot on. Parts ordering and delivery has always gone smoothly. I couldn't ask for more! read more

I've been going here for close to ten years, and I've never had an issue. My 2005 Mini Cooper runs as well as the day I bought her, and I still get compliments everyday. I never would have been able to afford keeping her up without Way Motor Works. read more

Not sure what that other guy's issue is, but I have never met a more honest mechanic than those at Way Motor Works. These guys will go above and beyond to make sure your car (MINI or BMW) is in top notch shape without costing you an arm and leg. I don't trust just anyone to work on my MINI... You get what you pay for more times than not. read more

During a spread of rainy days, my MINI sprung a leak in the roof all along the driver's side. I was able to get my car in ASAP. Jason and Way not only fixed the problem, they also checked the rest of the car and roof to ensure no other leaks would occur. Price was very reasonable. The guys are extremely professional and friendly. This business is above and beyond in the auto industry. read more

I would put a zero if possible. I contacted way motors about a automatic to manual swap in a 2003 mini Cooper. After talking to them I was under the assumption it was plug and play. Understand prior to doing this the car ran fine with no issues except a blown automatic trans. I sent them the computers and recieved broken and non working computers. Way motors said that's how they received them and did not think I should be contacted and said it was my fault in packing. I had the package insured. They said I could get a refund if I sent them back to them after I paid another programmer to replace and reprogram the damaged equipment. Why would I do that when they already didn't get it right and I paid to get it repaired. Do not trust them. Very poor quality and terrible customer service. They think they are the only ones who can work on a mini Cooper. Buyer beware!!!! read more

I've been bringing my '05 Cooper S to Way for almost two years now. I can honestly say he's the reason I'm holding onto the car (nearing 80K miles!), I know if something goes wrong I can trust him to fix it at a fair price. He's also been more than willing to work with my extended warranty company, who can be pretty difficult at times. Way has been helpful with several repairs on my car, including everything from a compressor replacement to oil changes to helping me pick the best/most economical new tires. I would highly recommend Way Motor Works for all your MINI needs in Atlanta! read more

Global Mini suggested Way to do some mods for my R53 Mini. It did not disappoint - Way was great, check though my mini and help decide what mods were the best for me. I love what he's done to my car, it is so much fun to drive! read more

This seems to be a duplicate listing, but I don't think Way is deserving of the bad review that's here so I'm going to post here anyway. I suggest you check out the reviews on the other listing. Way does great work, and if you want your MINI done right, I suggest you give him a shot. read more

I know you probably think I'm crazy -- giving a car shop 5 stars? Really? But Way deserves it. Too bad my car came with 3 years/36,000 miles service at the dealer or I could have been going here all along! From a basic "take care of your Mini" perspective -- they are great -- absolute experts and fairly priced. Do they have a fancy waiting area? No -- but they have free wireless and a chair :) and are done so fast you don't care. I once sat at the dealer for 20 extra minutes while my "service consultant" dealt with a phone call -- my car was ready sitting at the door. I could see it. But only she could have me sign and leave. And if you don't feel like waiting, you can just walk down the street to the rock climbing gym and have a little fun :) From a performance perspective -- also experts. My husband got me a little tune for the turbo for an anniversary present -- couldn't be more excited! Price was incredibly fair. There is a reason Way does so much work on this front. I won't take my Mini anywhere else -- they focus on the things that matter -- not an image. Best moment that occurred while I was there -- certain large Atlanta dealer that is off 285 called (guess they didn't realize that everyone these days has caller ID) to inquire as to his prices for various maintenance activities. They know who they need to compete with :) But no way way they can beat Way Motor Works! read more

Taking my Cooper to Way was the best thing I've done since I bought the car. This dude knows Minis inside and out. They are his passion project and he is fair and honest. I had been given the run around by the dealerships and body shops and all they had in mind was how to rip me off. Way kept it real. He told me what was wrong, showed me what was wrong, and gave me options when it came to how much I wanted to spend on the repairs. Integrity is hard to find in the car biz and he has it. Do yourself, your wallet, and your Mini a favor. Bring it to Way Motor Works. read more

I have been taking my Mini to Way since 2011 and have never been displeased. This is a specialty shop, and you can tell! They may be a bit more expensive than going to a generic cheap mechanic, but you can feel confident that you are going to a place that will have dealer-or-better quality of work and knowledge without the high, high dealership price. I have gone to a lot of mechanics in my day and I feel a lot better knowing that in Way, I have one I can trust. Way himself obviously knows and loves Minis and is very familiar with their various strengths, weaknesses, and quirks. Since I go to him for all the work on my Mini, he knows and remembers my car and what he's done to it in the past - he even recognized when I had gotten new tires! He is very good about laying out everything that is going on with your car, how much of an issue it is, how long it could be left and what the potential consequences would be, etc. In addition, if you have a difficult or mysterious problem with the car, he doesn't just do stuff to be doing it and rack up charges- he is a real detective on your behalf, sometimes going as far as to contact international contacts/experts to see if they have heard of the problem happening and how they fixed it. Way will always look for the most cost-effective way to repair your car that will really fix the problem; he won't give you a cheap fix that will just buy you a little time (unless you very specifically ask him to do that!) Additionally, as a woman, I have never felt condescended to or ripped off by Way or his staff. Be aware that Way stays busy and you may need to wait to get on his schedule; a wait of a week or so to get in for minor service like an oil change is common. But it's worth it. Also, his shop is a working shop and doesn't have much in the way of luxury waiting rooms, etc., like you'd get in a Mini dealership. (They do offer free wi-fi, though.) However, I'd much rather save the money at my mechanic's and sit in a coffee shop on my own time. Overall, Way Motor Works offers good quality at a fair price. This is not the place to go if you want dirt-cheap everything... but if that's what you want, why would you buy a Mini? Way Motor Works will take care of your investment in your car and charge you much less than the Mini dealers would for an equal quality of work. read more

Waylan is THE mini guy. I literally won't let anyone else work on my Mini Cooper. He is like a guru for minis he really knows way more than anyone should about these cars. I'm also a huge fan of Jason the guy who works for him. I know nothing about cars and they are both able to explain complex issues in a simple way that I can understand. If you call and no one answers it's because they are all working on other stuff. So just wait a while and call back. If you have a mini and you aren't bringing it to them yet, do it!!! read more

Way is a very reliable and honest guy who knows MINIs inside and out. His prices are very reasonable and he is very easy to deal with. Very personable and goes the extra mile for his customers. I wouldn't take my MINI anywhere else. read more

Way knows Mini's inside and out. I have purchased many items from Way and he tells you the truth on each item and does not sell you anything that you do not need. Way has performed work on my 2006 MCS at the AMVIV event in Vegas last year, no issues or concerns. He is honest as the Mini is fun to drive. read more

Excellent advice and service from Way and his skilled crew. I live out of town and always worth driving up to his shop for experienced, solid service. They install OE and aftermarket parts and accessories that are top quality-- not junk you may find on eBay or other sites. While their parts may cost more, you are getting quality parts engineered for your MINI. read more

Gone are the days of customer service.i purchased a reservoir tank from these guys in feb a little over a month ago. One month later the new part fails so I call them.they let me know that I will need to come back in to have them check it out first before having me go to the dealer to have the part replaced."I'm sorry did I buy the part from the dealer?". I did go in a few days later and showed them the problem.i had decided that I would go ahead and get the upgraded aluminum tank for the difference and was told my only option was to go to dealer to get the standard price of crap tank put on my car!!! What sense does that make? However he was very willing to point out how a list of things wrong with my car and let me know how busy he would be the next few weeks....hmmm. I thought I had found the shop for my new old mini,but NOT!!! read more

I had a 10AM appointment for service, which I had confirmed via email earlier in the week. At 10:15, business was still locked, no lights on, no answer on the telephone. The guy had no-showed at his own shop! All of my contact info was on the emails we had exchanged, yet I received no call, text or email saying he would be late, the dog was sick, whatever. I still have not received any contact explaining his absence. Beyond inconsiderate. Beyond poor service. If I could rate in "Negative stars", I would do so. read more

I've been going to Way Motor Works for repairs on my 2006 Mini for probably six years, and I can say that not only are they more affordable than most repair shops, their work stands the test of time allowing me and VERY high mileage MINI to stay on the road. Way Motorworks is usually very busy, but they'll squeeze you in if they can. read more

We purchased a rebuilt supercharger for a mini-cooper in December 2011 from Way Motor Works. The charge for this rebuilt part included an additonal $500 that was to be refunded upon return of the damaged part (they call it a CORE). The core was returned to this business in February 2012. We never received a check or a credit to the original credit card for the $400 refund. During January 2013, after reviewing all of our credit card statements for 2012, Way Motor Works was contacted multiple times - by phone and email. We spoke with an employee who answers the phone and politely explained the problem. He said he would check their records. He later said the owner (Waylen Hunsucker) did remember the part being returned, missing a clip, and that he had refunded us $400. We have asked for a copy of the receipt or cancelled check since we don't think the refund was ever made. After three months of calling, emailing and even posting a BBB complaint, the only response we get is we refunded the money, we don't send any confirmation of credit and we don't have access to any of our credit card records to provide you with proof of the credit. read more

This is my second time here, and I expect to be a loyal customer. Knowledgeable and friendly, fair prices, free WiFi. These guys live and breathe Minis and BMWs. read more

I ordered a ignition coil to upgrade my MINI. The website was useful and friendly to use. Prices were reasonable. There was an issue with shipping (UPS had issues rather!) But when I noticed that the package was not going to arrive I called and spoke to Paul at Way Motor Works. He got on the phone and tracked down the answers. He got another part shipped out to me that day and helped to make it all right! Paul was friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to help out. He kept me updated and aware of what was going on. This is why I will continue do business with them. Taking care of the customer is what it is about. I highly recommend them!!! read more

Very unhappy with Way Motor Works. Never will buy from them again. Sold us a leaking water pump and will not refund our money. Now wants us to take the car to the dealer and have them verify and try and get a replacement water pump under warranty. Car will not run without it so we would have to tow the car to the dealer. Lesson learn for sure. Very upset with losing more money buy purchasing online something defective...:( read more

When it comes to Mini and honest, and excellent care, Way motor Works is the way to go! Way and Jason are awesome and hands down my 2 favorite mechanics. I love the fact that I can trust them with my precious mini and they do an excellent job. He saved me and my car from 2 previous hack jobs that nearly destroyed my car. I highly recommend these 2 any day of the week! read more

When I lived in Atlanta, WMW was the only place I would get my 2008 Mini Cooper S serviced. Waylen is honest, timely, and I trust him completely. Plus his work is always affordable. He has a great reputation in the area, comes highly recommended, and I agree 100%!! read more

This guy loves ripping people off. Tried to charge me up to a thousand dollars for a repair that another mechanic did for $150 including labor. He knows what he's talking about but he will charge you up the ass if you don't know anything about cars. Be VERY careful and make sure to get a second review. read more
