Hi - you could try Aston Jag Advantage,239 298 3760 - haven't used them for service but I did buy some parts off them last year and they seemed a decent outfit. Let us know how you get on

Thank you very much for the lead. I will let you know what I find relative to both labor and parts costs. I called our mechanic in Toronto and in all cases the parts costs quoted here locally (Naples) by a dealer were double or more for parts manufactured in the US !! Even OEM parts were 30% more than OEM parts from Jaguar Canada. More to come !!

I just used Aston Jag advantage for the first time and was favorably impressed -- very classy operation, well organized, and seemed reasonably priced ($97/hr for labor, $600 plus parts to replace the upper timing chain tensioners), though of course I would have preferred less. Let me know if you find anyone else in the area, I'm in Naples, FL too (2001 XJ8).
