Unhappy Closure of Jag and British Prestige service, Ringwood

Hello everyone,
I just heard the unfortunate news that we are losing an excellent mechanic in the Victorian area, Herb and the crew at Jag and British Prestige are closing up shop on August 31st, 2023. Very saddening to hear this, his workmanship, knowledge, and business will be sorely missed.
The reason for the closure was due to an 'ongoing dispute with the owner of the building' which now resulted in the unfortunate closure of J&BP.

Very sad news. If Herb is closing down, he and the team will be a great loss for many Jag owners. Their service and extensive knowledge of everything Jaguar is second to none.

Unfortunately it was no longer a question on 'if' but simply 'is', all due to the whim of the landlord, of all things.

Like others I'm deeply saddened by this. Herb told me when I went to book my XF in for a service. I could tell he was extremely upset. The work and attention to detail onmy XF has been always excellent and it's such a shame. I hope the land lord suffers quite frankly.
