Dear MINI Enthusiasts

The Prime Minister announced that non-essential premises must now close to help slow the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has therefore released official guidance relating to which businesses are and are not able to continue trading.

Car showrooms must now close, but garages providing vehicle repairs (including servicing and MOTs) can stay open.

If your MINI is in the Lohen workshop, we will be completing any jobs already started. We will not, however, be accepting any new customers through our doors to ensure the utmost safety for our staff, MINI customers and to adhere with government guidelines.

We would like to reassure our customers and the general public as a whole that we are taking the current COVID-19 situation very seriously and have put in place a host of precautions to ensure that Lohen employees, customers and the general public are kept as safe as possible and not exposed to any unnecessary risks.

Delivery services are still running as normal within the UK so all online orders will be fulfilled as normal by next-day DPD post. Most international orders are also being shipped without any interruption. You can place parts orders with us by phone or on our website lohen.co.uk.

If you need to contact Lohen, there will be a member of staff on hand to answer phone calls, emails and social media messages. If we do not get back to you within 24 hours, we have not have forgotten about you we are running on reduced staff numbers and will endeavour to respond to you as quickly as possible.

We will be keeping you updated if anything changes. Please take care, stay safe and follow government guidelines.
