Default Experienced XJS mechanic in Toronto, Canada?

Looking for an independant XJS mechanic in the Toronto area that people have first hand experience using and can vouch for.
Different people have suggested I steer clear of Westminster Motors and Birkshire Automobile.

Thanks in advance!

I have had a good experience with EUROPEAN AUTOMOTIVE and CLARKSON FINE CARS (both in Oakville) for my XJS.

The best one is yourself and the knowledge that is here on these forums and youtube channels like living with a classic and camp chaos chronicles

Exactly. Some members on here assume that we all have the time and / or aptitude to perform our own work. I do not have the time or the knowledge to experiment on much of anything related to my car. I own it to enjoy, which is looking at it and driving it. There is some envy of people who have the skills and the time to do their own work, but I don't either. Mozambique, you have a very polite gentlemanly of addressing this unnecessary assumption and assertion. Myself, I just soon have the actual question answered rather than what comes across as an unjustified scolding from the headmaster.

But back to the original query, have you found a repair shop worthy of taking on the work? Personally, that's what I am interested in and brought me to this thread.

Cheers.

I use Lang Motors in Etobicoke.
Daniel and the guys there are first rate. Daniel really knows old Jags and the V12 (if yours has one). Very highly recommended. Only downside is that the garage operation supports the used car sales side of the business, so on occasion things take longer as the mechanics get diverted onto other vehicles. Not a big issue though.
