Hi guys,

just wondering who you think the best specialist mechanic is in Victoria and why?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from people with v12's

cheers

 

They might well exist Steve but the only guy,and you may already know of him,that I could suggest although NOT recommend,as he has just done my headling is Gary Ayre in Springvale area. He has a huge supply of x300 parts and V12 bits and engines. Seems like a good bloke and is happy to give advise and seems to know his stuff. I use a local man that also repairs golf buggies and chainsaws.he is also about to do my timing chains. I can trust him and know my engine will be perfect. Although he has never done one before!

 

Meant to say he trades as JAG AYRE

 

Yeah I have heard of Jag Ayre before, thanks mate.

I do have a mechanic like your golf buggie guy who i trust endlessly with my other cars but I'm not keen to let him have a go on the v12 :S

 

Hi Guys, been snooping around on the replys for a honest reputable mechanic. I was referred to a private guy called Steve Burrows. He is a straight shooter, no hog wash or bull like most of em. He did my engine up and runs a dream, a little dearer than others but at least he fully accounts for everything. I suggest you give him ago for repairs and service. He trades as JAGMANIA and has a website, search Jagmania Australia

 

Jaguar Mechanic, yes Steve Burrows has got it together, knows his stuff and pretty cleaver mechanic.

 

Personally, I am not so sure of the Jag wreckers fixing cars like Jagayre. I think a full mechanic is needed, not unqualified people working on my car. I am even cheesed off with some big garages who use apprentice labour and things still go wrong.

 

I agree with what you say..I don't know what ability he has to offer,just a suggestion.
I watched my car getting serviced (dealer) from the waiting room. Hoist,oil out. oil in,out the back for a wash and somehow passed a 50 point safety check?

$300+ and not even a filter. What we have to pay to get their stamp in the book.

 

Hi the best Jag Mechanics in Melbourne would have to be. GRAHAM RADCLIFF MOTORS IN RINGWOOD, What they don't know about Jags is not worth knowing. Regards, Bruce1947

 

jeez Gippsland , I can do it for "only" $200 with a filter and the missus will even make you a cup of coffee .... have to get me a stamp!

 

Just wanted to Jump in and give a quick endorsement and story regarding Gary Ayre. I recently changed the fuel sender unit on my 95 x300. To cut a long story short I had a leak from the seal after wards and was told I required a replacement tank was also quoted $900+, including labor by a Jag Mechanic for the job.
The day before it was booked in I thought I better do some due diligence and rang Gary Ayre to confirm the price on a second hand tank. After telling him my predicament he said that I should bring it down so he could take a look at it. He fixed the problem in about 15 min and just asked for a fifty when I asked him how much the charge was. Not only that but he also quoted me $200 less on the second hand tank if it had of been required.
Moral of the story for me a new Jag owner, is that it pays to do some ringing around and talk to the right people.

 

I use jag ayre for all my parts have used him for years all ways reliable and good with mechanics
