I had a great shop in Naples, Florida that I trusted implicitly and treated me right. I decided to ship my 2016 Jaguar F type R up to Massachusetts as I get to drive it on more challenging/fun routes. I would love to get the name of some shops in southern New Hampshire or near Newburyport Ma. that I can feel comfortable dealing with. I have only seen 3 F type Jaguars in Massachusetts since I purchased mine in 2019. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm 77 and hope to keep this fun car for the next 7-10 years.

Personally, I hope you live to be 140, but since the average lifespan of an American male just slipped to 73.5, you might want take it a day at a time.

Btw, I am not too far behind you...

If I get buried in mine, I'll beat you both!

I’ve used Upton Foreign Motors in Upton, MA. Also, DSC Auto in Westboro, MA
As for dealers, I’ve had good experience with Sudbury (MA) Jaguar Land Rover. I’ve heard good things about Peabody JLR and Jaguar Bedford, NH. My car is still under warranty, but JLR dealers are frighteningly expensive out-of-pocket.

Yeah, they've been competing with Bentley on labour rates for years!

Thanks for all the replies. I plan on going with Automasters in Hollis, New Hampshire. Considerably closer than Upton, Ma. and highly recommended. My goal is to have the Jag outlast me.
