Hi !

I'll be checking in with the NE. I'm from the northern corner of VA, minutes from DC and MD and an hour or so to NJ & DE. Going south to NC is a hike.

Just bought by '05 XK8 and hope I don't need service for a long while. Any recommendations on service in the area will be appreciated. As for sales, I had a great experience with Manhattan Jaguar in Bethesda, MD. I can only hope there service is as good.

Hello luvmyk9

Thumbs up if the NE region increases in size to include VA and MD

Good luck to finding a good dealer. I'm new in the Jag world too. I was visiting the Manhattan Jaguar dealership in Bethesda this week to pick up a license plate bracket for my new/used 2005 S-Type R. The dealership was empty and I asked to speak with someone in their service department. When I did, their service department could take me with no wait if I needed service immediately.

I have never been to a dealership with absolutely no wait for service!

I did not have my new car with me since I was still trying to get temp tags. I just received my tags today and called Manhattan for service four times in a period of 60 minutes. I waited on hold for 3+ minutes (each time I called) and was never taken care of. I looked up the next closest dealer, which was in Clarksville MD, who gave me an appointment an hour later. I was there for a MD state inspection and I have no complaints about the visit. I worked with Jim in their service department. It'd be a very long drive for you but here is their contact info...

BTW, I am going to be at Capital Raceway this Sunday from noon until 2:30 PM and may make a few passes to see what my STR will do compared to my BMW 540i 6-speed. I visit the track 2-3 times a year for some fun.

Thanks, another member sent me a PM suggesting Bethesda Jaguar so I think I will try them first. Calling first to be sure they are available. If not, and it's not a serious issue I might try the Davidson dealer you recommend.

The races sound like fun. I don't think I can make it this week but will keep an eye out for events; Drop me a PM when you plan to go, maybe we can get free and cheer for you.

Hey NOVA Fans, I'm new to the forum. Just got my first Jag and already got personalized plates. That's right, so if you're cruising through Tyson's Corner one evening and see a 06 XJ with the plates JAGGMAN in front of you, that's me. The extra G is for all the G's I hang with as I cruise the bars slamming red bulls and picking up drunk chicks. So if anyone is up for hanging out, PM me.

Cheers,

JaGG

I'm in McLean, my cabernet MY97 VDP is my daily driver to Skyline 5 in Falls Church. (Right now I'm putting mileage on my MY05 Honda S2000 roadster before I turn it in in Sept. when its lease is over.)

No vanity plate here, the car attracts enough attention all by itself. Its paint looks brand new and sometimes I catch folks admiring her.

I service the car at Intersport, the Porsche guys. They're not cheap but IMO it's always better to get your car serviced by technicians who race on the weekends as they tend to be perfectionists and notice the slightest problems!
