Mini Cooper S - John Cooper Works Car
Our sales team has an interesting Cooper listed, a John Cooper Works car.
Think if it as a Mini S on steroids.
Did we say fun?

Who Do I Call?
Make sure that the glass company who does your windshield replacement seals up all the holes, so your car does not end up like this poor Saab. Questions on who to call for things like this, just ask us about our Preferred Vendor program, we can tell you who we work with, and save you...well, a mess.

Service Tip - We just had an Audi towed in, which prompted me to write this up. For your car's sake, if you see this warning light on, stop car and shut off engine, do not continue driving. This light means that the engine has low or no oil pressure, and it will quickly be damaged if light is on with engine running. On most current European autos It does not mean oil is low. While we hope you never have to see this, it's a good idea to refresh yourself by checking your vehicle's owners manual on warning light meanings.
Tip 2 - Do not add engine oil without first checking level, overfilling an engine is a bad thing, and can cause engine damage, or damage to the catalytic convertors if oil in drawn into and burned in engine.
This message brought to you by the good folks at AMC, who care about you, and your car!

- Goodbye Atlantic Motorcar Services -
Change is Good - Some might notice that our page name changed today, thanks to our friends at FaceBook. We have transitioned from Atlantic Motorcar Services, Inc. to the Atlantic Motorcar Center to more properly reflect the range of services we now offer.
You see, when we opened in Maine, back in 2003, our team was focused on offering high quality service of European autos, using the philosophy of "overall lowest cost", preventing problems rather than just repairing them. We were continuing a tradition we had begun some 17 years earlier in Buffalo, NY.
We're still focused on that very thing today - and offer service from Falmouth, Freeport to Camden - but after 9 years here in coastal Maine, we've grown the auto sales side of the business as well, thanks to the patronage of our great customers and efforts of our team.
With our expanded auto sales efforts, I promise you the same focus on exceptional customer service in providing you high quality, fully serviced and warrantied European autos. We're initially focusing on Volvo, BMW and Mini to reflect the needs of the coast, but from time to time we'll have other offerings which we feel would be of interest to our customers.
As we look toward future opportunities, the Atlantic Motorcar Center is committed to Maine, and particularly to the Maine coast, and we look forward to serving our community for many years to come.
Thank you!
Cordially,
Bruce J. Howes and the Atlantic Motorcar team

Before reality TV, and even still to a very large degree now, the best known name associated with performance cars to the average person is Carroll Shelby, and with good reason.
