Hello there,

I'm from the UK and have just moved over to Antibes (near Nice) in the South of France. I am going to bring my Jaguar over from the UK this weekend and I was wondering if anybody knows a reputable garage I could use for servicing in the near future? (a Jaguar Specialist would be great but I want to avoid main dealer prices here)

Thanks

 

Hi There

In Cannes is a Jag- Dealer.

Regards,
Oliver

 

Can't help with that but there's a thread in this section on getting French plates and insurance.

 

I can't give any personal recommendation on this company kept the contact details in case of a breakdown in the region:

The English Car Mechanics - H o m e

We used drive down to stay in Gorbio regularly but fortunately never had any issues with the cars (so far) that I couldn't resolve.

Try the attached link, you will be able to glean loads of information and contacts.

Forgot to mention that the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club have regional coordinators in France (plus pretty much everywhere else) so you should be able to find what you are looking for without too much hassle.
Jaguar Enthusiasts Club, Classic British Cars, Jaguar Owners Club, Jaguar Tool Hire, The largest Jaguar Club covering all models including E-type, S-type, X300, XJS, XJ, Mark 2, XK8

 

I recommend joining the local Jaguar Club where you are.

Good contacts to be made, and as a new arrival will also help to make friends locally

 

There's a Jag garage called or Royale Motors in Cannes that I have been in touch with before. They seem competent. They also do Aston & Bentley, so get a quote for the work first!
