Default I'm in Eastern,NC not far from Raleigh

So I always go to Cary the Jaguar Dealer, but I'm in school now and would love to save some cash. Does anyone know of a good mechanic in my area or near me? Thanks in advance

Try "Dias Automotive" in Pittsboro.
95 Thompson St. 919-542-1114
He's a great guy and an excellent mechanic.
Here's an pic of his place. most of the cars are Jags.
Tell him "Pete told you to call" ;-)

I wouldn't have thought of that. Thanks for your recommendation. I will give them a try. I assume you mean Capital Ford?

Also can highly recommend "Foreign Accents" in Greensboro. They have been in business since the 1970s or 80 if I recall.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The mechanic that checked out my car has been working on Jaguars since the late 1960s.

Default Convertible top repair

I ended up using Marvin (www.jaugartoprepair.com). He provided parts and did the repair. He did an excellent job at a much more responsible price with great quality. He truly is 100% satisfaction. I highly recommend him if you need convertible top work, and he will come to you to do the work.
