Default Independent mechanic please

I live in Rhode Island. I'm looking for a mechanic in this area. There is only one jag dealer and he knows it. Mostly looking for someone to change my trans fluid and filter. 03 6 speed. Plus my on going electrical issues. I'm close to south eastern mass

Be aware that BMWs use the same gearbox so a shop that does that kind of work should be able to accommodate you.

You might try those shops and just ask if they service ZF6HP26 transmissions.
When you show up in a Jaguar it should not really matter??????????????

In my neck of the woods, it matters greatly....

There is a retired BMW master tech who works out of his home just a mile down the road from me. He built two four-bay shops on his acreage behind his home about a decade ago. BMW enthusiasts flock to him from all over our metro area. But he will not touch either of our Jaguars, period....

There is a shop that foreign car shop that will do everything but trans fluid and filter. Are the BMW trans like ours with no filler tube?

The trans fluid change isn't all that difficult. You might want to give it a try yourself. See here for my experance...
