Hi I am looking to find a good quality Independent jaguar garage for servicing of my 2015 Jaguar XJL, I have become a little disillusioned with my local main Jaguar dealer with some of their work and rates. 

Hi Andy,

There is a part on the forum which lists a lot of garages -- Jaguar Owners Lounge.  I have had a look through this and can't find anything close to Wrexham.  The nearest was Manchester although I would guess that there are good garages closer.

At a fairly wild guess I would suggest you look at "Mobile Car services" on the internet.  There appear to be quite a few wanting to do mobile work.

I used to live in Shotton when the Steelworks was in its prime, and was able to have my car serviced in the garage at the works --  17/6 for a good service and oil change in 1967 - 1970 was rather good!

Good luck,

Regards,

Peter.  

Hi I use Aqueduct Garage near Trevor Llangollen or Moreton Garage Chirk

Hi Old Peter,

 

You worked at Shotton during the early late 60's to 1970 my grand farther Lionel Buck was one of the Union steward for many years fighting to keep the site open, I almost ended up working there as an apprentice to become an electrician but instead when the way of Chemistry. Was wondering if you knew or heard of my grand farther, we have a book written by Moss Evan in which he talks about my grand farther and his views on communism and the union, I think my grand farther was a bit of a communist at heart back then. 

Thanks for your reply to my post much appreciated.

Hi Andy,

I was the Branch Secretary of all the 2000 staff branch members and the name Lionel Buck is well known to me.  I became a full time officer in 1970 and went to our Sheffield office and then a Regional Secretary to the West Midlands Office.  I retired when I was 65 and remained in the Midlands.

I am glad my post was of use,

Regards,

Peter.

Hi Peter,
