jaguar independent servicing etc?

brahms10

Hi all,

looking to buy a used XK, but haven't found many recent recommendations for Jag-qualified independents. Dublin or north would be the preferred location.

I've seen old references to Leonard Byrne in Walkinstown, BFIS in Baldoyle, and Cameron Cars Glasnevin. Anybody have any recent experience of these?

I'm aware of Yomac, but have never been able to find a recommendation. They sure spend a lot on internet marketing though.

And please, no replies telling me I should be using main dealers or clearly I can't afford to run the car. I can afford to run the car.

Many thanks for any help.

I came across this guy on DD but don't know if he's one of the ones you mentioned: http://cars.donedeal.ie/vintagecars-for-sale/vintage-classic-jaguar-repairs-spares/5690827

Looking at service costs myself.

Thanks. I think I came across the name a while back in connection with the jag owners' club. I don't get the impression he's a jag-trained tech though, more an enthusiast. Could be wrong of course.

What I'm looking for I suppose is a trained guy who has the jag diagnostics.

I've heard GTi Direct do servicing, but again, i don't know about their qualifications for Jag.

I'm surprised at how hard it is to get this solved. Good luck with your search.
