Cannot find a mechanic in Santa Barbara area to tuneup my Jag Xtype

With this forum’s help, I know the problem, but I can’t find anyone willing to work on my car in Santa Barbara, Ca.

WTF!!! 2002 Jag Xtype 3.0. Watched the video for changing spark plugs/coil and fuel filter….and it isn’t rocket science. But my last hope told me it’s a liability issue and he no longer touches cars older than 10 years!

Any do-it-yourselfers who want a Santa Barbara vacation?

Belle, i wish I could have done it for you. I don't think you would have entertained driving up to Newport OR in mid August to have me work on the car then. Granted, I think my family would be a little mad if I was working on a car during vacation.
