Default So Florida indie

Wondering if anyone has a reco for a reliable honest indie in the Fort Lauderdale general area, which could go south to Hollywood or north to Boca.
Or if there's any experience with Jag Repairs in Pompano.

cheers and thanks

Jag repairs Pompano seemed old and grumpy. I believe they work on older Jags much more often than newer ones. I ended up doing the work myself as I didnt get a great feeling from talking to Jag Repairs in person. (Wouldn’t give me a written estimate for a wheel bearing).

My CPO warranty has now expired so I’m also looking for a Go-To repair shop for the future.

I’ll let you know if I find any.

I've used this guy in Delray and was very satisfied: JAGUAR MOTORSPORTS - Home

That's funny. I've been waiting over a week for an estimate from Mitch at Jag Repairs on some rear suspension work, plus had a brake flush done which took three days and no paperwork. My CPO is 4 weeks to the end so the hunt continues for a reliable option. If I find one I'll post it.

I just had Jaguar Motorsports in Delray do some work. I found them to be honest and extremely communicative, as well as pretty damn intuitive tracking down
a somewhat elusive (to other pros an a dealer who should have known) squeak. The work was as we should expect, but I honestly did not expect to have my
beast returned looking showroom clean. They even did the wheels, inside and out as well as calipers. I almost hate to drive it now! Roberto recently picked up
a coupe, so he's a kindred soul. I'd say give them shot.

Do they do other car or just Jags? I'd prefer a dedicated Jag Indy as there are only 2 Jag dealerships in Palm Beach County and Broward County and they are both awful!!!

He also works on Mercedes, but judging by his lot, it's almost all jags.

Agree with AlexKeyWest. Jags are his mark of choice. I imagine the other work is to keep him in business year round, as being in Delray, the Jag work, from what I was told,
is seasonal. He seems to know the brand, and at least in my one experience, knows his ****.
