Hey all I forgot about this thread. As a follow up to my car's service performed at All European Auto Repair, 1350 N Us-1, Jupiter, FL 33469 - they are horrible. A few weeks after getting my car back my check engine light ("CEL") came on so I took it back, paid them tons of money, got it back, CEL came back on in less than a month, and this cycle repeated itself three times before I took it to a Discount Tires of all place (my former co-worker's husband works there) and they finally fixed the problem and I have been CEL free since. All European Repair is very, very expensive too. And here is my favorite part, I had a single lug that was stripped so I bought new lugs and took them there and asked them to take off the stripped lug and and to just replace all lugs while they worked on my car the last time I used them. Normally this is something I would do myself but I thought since I had been there so many times recently that they would have done it as a courtesy. They billed me $125 for changing the lugs!!!!!!! My father picked up the car and paid for me since I was busy so I didnt have a chance to argue, and when I looked at the bill it had been several weeks so I just ate it but that was the nail in the coffin for me never to return.
Also, they did some work on my father in law's former Volvo and when it was returned, it would have a surge of power when you tried to brake! They are horrible. And they offered to buy that Volvo, a fully loaded S80 turbo for something like $800. Insulting. They are a very bad shop. Oh yea and the owner is very arrogant, he is a know it all type who prides himself in being the king of car knowledge because he used to do amatuer racing back in the 1980s. They are a joke of a shop.
Since then I have been using Jupiter Performance also in Jupiter. They build race cars so they are very enthusiatic about working on cars, their prices are great, and their work is great (so far, have used them twice).

Jaguar Motorsports in Delray Beach
I highly recommend Jaguar Motorsport, in Delray Beach. Roberto is the owner and Melissa , his daughter is the receptionist. His contact information is, Jaguar Motorsport, 175 S. Congress Ave., Delray Beach, FL 33445.
I have taken all my Jaguars to Roberto, when I can't figure how to fix them myself. He has all the Jaguar scanners, etc. He has always been fair and accurate. They even have Enterprise pick you up at the shop & give you a great rental rate, when you need to leave the Jag with Roberto.
Tell him Jeff sent ya!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a Jag shop in Fort Lauderdale? I have a 1994 XJS 4.0 that i need brake and AC work on. I have worked on a handful of my cars, but heard the brake bleed can be pretty tricky on these cars so I am interested in getting a professional to look at it first.
Thanks,
Dan

Just picked up my 2013 XJ from JFM & Enrique in West Palm. Needed some work on the cooling system, which turned out to be a faulty "low coolant" sensor. He kept the car for a couple of days, did some road testing and foiund and fixed the problem. Thanks to all of the posters for their input to use JFM and it was a great experience. Total communication from Enrique, honest and truthful analysis of the problem and when he also found some suspension parts needing replacement, immediately notified me and asked what I wanted to do, rather than doing it first and billing you later. He takes the time to educate you on the issue and saved the parts to explain why they needed repaired. I will be back, no question about it. I will tell you with my experience with other mechanics, I'll go nowhere else and would recommend him to anyone.
If you're familiar with West Palm, the shop is near to the Kravits Center, and it's on Okeechobee ROAD, not Okeechobee Blvd. nor Old Okechobee Blvd.
