Hi Everybody - Can anyone suggest a good Jaguar X-Type mechanic in Sydney Australia? Thanks in advance. Great site by the way, I especially like the X-Type FAQs. Al

 

I am in Canberra. 2002 X-Type. Had to just phone and ask around until I found some places that would look at Jags (as well as the dealer).

I got reasonable service rates at the Repco franchise. Their local parts supplier was extortionate though. Quoted $550 for a lower control arm. Jag dealer price is $360 for the same part. I got it for $250 from these guys.

The jag dealer quoted me $360 then asked if I was a garage. I said I was private and then he said it was $450 for private and $360 for a garage. Bit of a rip-off that.

 

that link could prove useful - i've bookmarked it - thanks

 

There is a few Jag workshops around, Tony Arditto in Parramatta/Westmead, Graeme Lord near Wollongong have good reps.
