Following the demise of Ratcliffs/British Prestige in Ringwood, has anyone found a good workshop alternative for our older Jags?

I can self service my basic needs but have my limits and would like to find out if there are some options out there

 

Not many replies here Steve.
Not sure if there's a Jag specialist in Collingwood?

 

Pretty normal, 250+ reviews and nada, makes you wonder what people are doing for services.

After some self help I have arrived at the following list, all on the eastern half of Melbourne as I live outside Melb on that side. Its just a list at this stage haven't used any of them yet for service (have used Jagdiam for parts)..

Matts Automotive Kilsyth mattsautomotive.com.au
Specialises in Brit Prestige , Rollers and Bentleys and also do Jags

PMA Autoworks Ringwood pmaautoworks.com.au
Claims to service Jags , I think they lean to the my modern models

Jagdaim Carrum Downs jagdaim.com
Well respected parts suppliers that also has a service arm

JagAyre Clayton Jaguar Parts Melbourne - JagAyre Leading Independent Jaguar Specialist - Jaguar Parts Melbourne Jag Parts Melbourne Jag Repairs Melbourne
Long established mini version of JagDaim

 

Not a testimonial based on direct experience, however I remember meeting Matt some years ago, he was (is?) an active member of the Vic Jag club. I never got to use his services as I was already happy with Ratcliff's, but Matt's knowledge and skills were clearly well regarded by many in the club, a popular go-to man for many Jaguar owners by all accounts.

 

I have had my XF serviced by Matt for the past five years, and now my F type, and have found him to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful. There are a couple of things I have had to go to dealers for, mainly around dreaded key forgetting.

The only downside for me these days is that with others closing, he is getting really busy and I am booking services months ahead. It's also the reason I didn't reply straightaway :-)
