I have no affiliation with this shop or gentlemen but on car forums it is a great place to locate indi shops. I found him via google.

if you search my name you can find the whole story but here is what happened
1. battery died on my car. I got the battery replaced by Sun Devil Auto. they did a good job but they stated they do not have the machines or codes to re-program the car. "go see your jag dealer" makes 100% sense
2. go to N Scottsdale Jag; they re-program my car and then they tell me the top needs a new special pump. my car had 14k miles on it and the day before the top worked. seemed so fishy and wrong.....

***top didnt work at all and said i was looking at $3k in work "these are complicated cars" really.... roll eyes. this isnt a Mig29. its a freakin rag top on car that has had the same convertible motor since the prior generation. they either wanted to take me for a fool or didnt think to top off the hydraulic fluid. i was going to write a compliant to penske but i am so busy with life it slipped out of my mind.

3. google'd jag indi shops and found this place. like most indi shops typically near an industrial area etc (happened to be walking distance to my place, but even if I lived in N scottsdale, id go here) so Joe said it was no big deal just my hydraulic pump was leaking a bit. he topped it off and had me on my way 1 day later.
4. service was great and I had my oil changed there a few months back
5. old school shop with good PERSONAL service and I will drop off my car in 3-4 months again

fyi if you never used an indi shop for any car; think old school way of business. my indi BMW Babbit motor werks is just like this. good service, industrial strip etc.

anyone want to go for a cruise or meet up - ping me and glad to go!

Mill ave, that must be fun! Assume you have covered or better yet garage parking for the jag?
