ok .. time for oil change .. I called up the dealer about to setup an appointment when they told me that they're only open M-F 7:30-1:30pm .. and no weekend .. Is it always been like that?  If it is, this is the worse service hours ever ..

Even my BMW dealer open on Sat from 6am .. I thought MINI would be the same .. I guess I'm gonna have to do it myself now ..

 Hopefully in the near future as more minis are sold Sat service will be an option. But for now it is not.
When in doubt power out.

Ok just talked to Dan at NW MINI and wanted to get his input before I post my response. 

For an oil change they will take appointments upto 3:30pm the 7:30am - 1:30pm is the appointments for service other than oil changes.  What this means is that for service other that an oil change the last scheduled appointment start time is 1:30pm.  This allows them enough time to complete the work so you can get the car back in the same day.  So if you need an oil change you can get an appointment as late as 3:30pm. 

Also, drum roll please............

Saturday service will be started up in April.  

So if you have problem, or need service please understand the end time.  They do not want to start an oil change @ 4:30pm.  I for one would not want them to start it that late and have them rush and miss something.

Thanks for the clarification MINI-Rolls.  Let's hear it for NW Mini for the Saturday service!  Excellent decision by the dealership!

I'm liking the Saturday service.  I wonder if it's too early to make an appointment for summer? (just kidding) There are probably lots of people that would like to take advantage of Saturday service.
