JAGUAR GREEN SHOWER IN COLORADO! The hydraulic lines in my 2006 Jaguar XK8 convertible showered me in September 2023. After calls to three Jag dealers in the Denver area, who all told me they wouldn’t work on a Jag older than 2010, I tried to find a mechanic. I even called one recommended by the Jag dealer who laughed and said, “Good luck finding someone to fix it.”

Google searches led me to the Jaguar Top Guy, Marvin Johnson, in Atlanta. I called him and he was the answer. He told me he would fly to my home and fix my car the same day. I asked him for references and texted three of his clients who sent me these excellent recommendations:

“In Michigan, multiple people would work on it but they gave me a cost for 2 front hydraulic lines, as Marvin's cost was for all 6. They would have installed with Jaguar parts that would again fail. Very knowledgeable guy. Seemed decent & honest, with a good professional work ethic. Completed job in 5hrs & I was happy with the service.”

“He drove from GA to IN to do mine! Same thing no one wanted to work on it locally and I didn’t want to mess with it myself. Marvin came to my house in Indiana and replaced entire system (except pump) on my 2004 XKR Portfolio earlier this year. Great experience and got the job done in a day! No more green shower and all working well.”

“Luckily he was 20 miles away from me (Georgia). He is great. Arrives on time and then quietly starts working on the issue at hand. He replaced everything except my master pump which was working fine. He also stands behind his work. Highly recommend.”

Marvin arrived on an October Sunday and worked his magic in my garage that day. My Jag top works perfectly and looks as if nothing ever happened. I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Check out his website:www.jaguartopguy.comand call him at 888-317-9340.

 

Judi,

As you have already posted a separate Intro, I've moved this from New Member Area - Intro a MUST forum to XK8/XKR forum. I did consider putting it in your Region forum but it will be of interest to other members with the same model across the USA

A regular issue and good to hear you are happy with a successful resolution.
