There are very few people in Queens I would let work on my Jaguar.
1) Nortopia Mobil: At the corner of Utopia Pkwy and Northern Blvd. in Flushing. They have done my inspections, brakes, tires.. They work good and go over anything you may need before doing any work.
2) Kramers: At the intersection of Willets Point blvd and Clintonville St. in Whitestone. My parents have had work there on their cars, along with some of my friends.
3) Clearview Service: They are in College Point. Have done much work for me in the past with all my other cars. They work clean and very trustworthy.

Well I got my car back from JagPro and I am very happy with his work. Martin serviced the transfer case, rear diff and did an oil change.
Cost was $200 which is WAY less money then the dealer would charge. I did not need a motor mount, but need a stabilizer. He ordered it and it will be installed next Friday. The cost is $69 for the part and 1/2 labor.
I deff recommend JagPro if you need any work done on your Jaguar. He knows Jaguars and the work is very good.

Going to Jagpro next Tuesday
I spoke with Martin today and made an appointment for next Tuesday. I will get an oil change and leave the car for him to diagnose my air conditioner problem, which I think is a mixing door not functioning correctly.
I also mentioned that the car sometimes goes into limp-home mode when I am using the J-Gate to down shift, which is something I do a lot. I said to him that I think this is a computer software problem. Martin said do not use the J-Gate as the transmission can't handle this type use. If I leave it in D it should not have this problem.
I will report after I get the car back.

Here is the total cost
Oil Change labor 29.95
Coolant 125.000
Air Filter 23.60
Radiator Module 497.00
Install Module 220.00
Sub Total 895.55
Tax 77.24
Grand Total 972.79
All in all I think he is very fair, honest, and I will definitely use him for this and other cars even though it is a major hassle to go there leave a car for an indefinite amount of time.
I live 45 minutes away in crappy traffic.

I think it is a blend door problem and I will have him check it out next week.
I am not happy about still having a problem after spending $718 parts and labor that did not solve the problem.

I Just had my 1997 xk8 serviced by a 28 year retired Jaguar mechanic on Long Island. Tensioners , an electrical gremlin , balance and rotate tires. His name is Kevin and his shop is located in Rockville Centre. Got the car back the other day and have been out every day since. Runs great and his work is outstanding. His shop number is 516-764-1700. Top notch mechanic. Tell him that Jim with the Blue 97 xk8 he just worked on suggested you call. You will not be dissapointed. It's a drive but worth it. Good luck. Look up my posts on this subject.
