Hi

I've just joined but driven XKRs for about 15 years. The lastest bought new in 2013, just before Xmas, a good time to get a discount!

I'm looking for a good Jaguar independant garage around Gloucester/Cheltenham to fix windscreen washers. After 2 expensive attempts by main agents at around £150 per hour I'm giving them a miss.

Any recommendations welcome, thanks

Paul, I live in Gloucestershire and the only Independent Jaguar Specialist I know of is Swallows, just south of Bristol, in Somerset. https://swallows-jag.co.uk

There is also one at Kidderminster https://offmoreroadgarage.co.uk

I have not personally used either of them so cannot vouch for their expertise or customer service.

Best Wishes and Regards, John

Thanks Wrinkly, I've had a look at Swallows, they seem to be good, so I will give them a try.

Paul, It would be good to know what you think of their charges, abilities and customer service.

Good Luck, Regards, John

Thanks for the advice. I went to Swallows yesterday and they found the problem and fixed it in half hour at a reasonable cost, probably half what I would have paid at a main agent. I will definately use them for everything in future. Also some very interesting cars parked there.

Should add that the main agent I have been using would have possibly still not found the fault.

Pleased to hear that your car has been fixed to you satisfaction.

Best Wishes and Regards, John
