Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2014 Mini Countryman S. I was told that timing belt jump and lost compression. Bent valves and pretty much the engine is shot. Repair guys quoted me 7.5K-8K for engine rebuild. Is it too much

On a big job like this I'd get a second opinion. I would also check and see if the repair will cost more than the vehicle is worth. If so I'd move on. Hope that helps! Jim

I would install a used engine and then sell it.
