Hi all, new member, first post. I'm relatively new to the Charlotte area and I'm looking for a reputable Jaguar shop. I want to avoid the dealer as much as possible, as I almost always have an unfavorable experience there. Can anyone make any recommendations? Any guidance is most appreciated. Thanks!

 

Several members in the Charlotte area so hopefully one will chime in with some advice on good shops in the area. You can also do a customized search in the regional section for repair shops in the Charlotte area - I pulled the following (although dealer) by doing a quick search:

ILM, I live in the area.


Please follow the above advise and follow proper forum protocol and introduce yourself. Model, year, motor, etc may be helpful.


Welcome to the forum.

 

Hello,

I've only been to V-12 once and that was about a week ago. I got a pre-purchase inspection performed on my 2004 XJR-S. They spent about an hour and a half going over every inch of my car. When the report came back they gave me the full run down of what was needed. Nothing was immediately necessary, but when I was ready I had some options to either have OEM replacement parts or save some money on equivalents. With my limited knowledge I'd say they are a good independent shop.

Cheers,
Norman

Not sure about charlotte but in hickory The Car Sergeon is great! Specializes in jags, rolls,British cars in general but works on everything. Very clean shop and good prices. Ony person I've ever let touch my Jaguars. Outside of warrantied cars.

 

Thanks NCamie! I have been doing my own research over the weekend, and I also came across V-12 Motorsports. I appreciate the recommendation, always makes you feel a bit more comfortable.... Gave them a call this morning and scheduled for tomorrow. Seemed nice over the phone. I'll post my thoughts on service after the visit. Philhef: thank you as well, but Hickory is a little bit too far away for general service.

 

Thank you again for the referral to V-12 Motorsports. I had a very pleasant experience, and will be returning to them in the future. I had a synthetic oil change and vehicle inspection completed. They gave me a small list of items that need attention (a couple of which I was already aware of), and helped me prioritize the repairs by importance. Very nice guys, great customer service, and they were very knowledgeable about my car.

 

Hey there, I thought I would throw this out there for you.

Really nice guy, he's got some cool old cars out front and shot the breeze with me for about an hour.
Scanned all my XJR's systems for $68.00
I have not had him do any work on the car as I like doing it myself. He and his staff were very knowledgeable.


Scott Jaguar, IMHO, has some excellent techs. The shop prices are just a bit high as to be expected.
Hope this helps.

Scott Jaguar is good and they are also enthusiasts!
