By that I mean a mechanic for Old Jaguars, not an Old Mechanic for Jaguars. Though he'll probably be both.

Can anyone recommend a mechanic in the Ventura, CA area that would be up to the task of replacing the rear wheel bearing on my '85 XJ6?

What's driving me nuts is that I met a guy with an '86 a couple months ago and he recommended some shop, I think it was near the corner of Callens and Market but I can't remember it now.

Thanks,

Perhaps posting in the regional forum for SoCal may get you some responses?

 

Mike:


Brings back just a tad of the investigation skills used in my former profession.


1. The On-line version of the old yellow pages. Do they still exist ?


2. Try the Map Quest or Google functions for that corner. Might get a picture or video!


3. Just Google Jaguar Service. Ventura, CA

Way back when, I had a series of contractor's Bond cases thereabouts. I enjoyed the area and it's people. Even if my task was not pleasant.

Hi,

I wanted to mention (belatedly) that I found the mechanic I had heard about, and after he worked on my car I heartily agree with the recommendation. His name is Bill Turley, of The Auto Shoppe, 1452 Callens Rd, Ventura, CA 93003, (805) 644-4565. His schedule is a little irregular, so if you don't get him at first, keep trying. Really know his stuff and very reasonably priced to boot. He knows Triumphs and MGs too.

P. S. Thanks to the Central Coast British Car Club facebook page where I got pointed to Bill.
