6 years ago I retired and moved from Los Angeles to Hawaii. I gave my 1984 XJ6 to my sister-in-law who lives in Texas before I left. Before handing the XJ6 off to her, the engine and trans was rebuilt, new radiator, engine wiring harness, shocks, complete leathers and carpeting, fresh paint job. To make a long story short, I will be shipping the XJ6 to Hawaii. But before I do this, I need to take care of a couple of issues before she ships. Car still runs great but AC repair, tires, alignment are what is needed before shipping. Can anyone recommend a reputable Jag shop with great Jag techs that know the ins and outs of these older cars? I prefer the Dallas/Ft. Worth area because the vehicle is near these cities but will consider other techs (as far down as Houston). I was a certified Jag mechanic and worked at 2 Jag dealerships over a 12 year span (1981-93) so I know how much of a challenge these cars can be if you're not familiar with their little quirks. Especially challenging when there are no shops in Hawaii that would even want to touch these cars. Any help on my search is most appreciated. Thanx!

 

I've never dealt with with them, but I've heard good things about classicjaguar.com in Austin from old-school XKE guys.

Congrats on landing in Hawai'i for retirement. My first duty station was Hickam, bought a '94 Miata solely because I got those orders. Drove that sucker all around Oahu, day and night. Not sure I'd ever own another convertible...unless I moved back there.

Good luck with the XJ6--I hope it arrives safely, and soon.
