Hi Folks - new member here.
Does anyone know of any independent jaguar service garages/workshops in the Inverness / Elgin areas in Scotland?
many thanks

 

The question is - how many Jaguars are there in and around Inverness ? Not many, I'll bet, so how would a Jaguar independent make a living ?

The problem the independents have is that of keeping up with the modern Jaguars and their complex electronics. When my local independent XJK were operating, they had to send their mechanics on Jaguar maintenance courses to ensure they could maintain reasonably current models. They ceased operating in January, and I suspect others might start to struggle in the future. An independent operating in "Middle England" can expect owners to come quite a distance if he has a good reputation, but a business in or near Inverness is never going to be able to attract that. Best bet is somebody in the Central Belt (Glasgow/Edinburgh)

Try PM-ing JimC64, he lives up there somewhere and will no doubt point you in the right direction.

 

same situation in the US, the younger techs are going Honda intead of Jaguar or Mercedes.

 

Thanks guys
