Jags Unlimited-Independent Jaguar Auto Repair Service

Jim has fixed our Lexus SC400 countless times and each repair has been spot on perfect. We live about 20 miles away and are happy to pay AAA to tow it knowing he’s there to accept and take good care our 20 year old car. I’m not sure why the other reviewer had a money issue as Jim is amazingly fair and honest. Twice he quoted a price and then charged LESS since some part he thought he needed cost less or was not needed.

I’ve had a huge problem with this car lately and other shops have not been able to fix the problem. Jim found the problem the day I brought it in and after keeping it for a day, I picked it up and it runs like brand new. I’ve used a lot of different Jaguar mechanics over the years, but he really knows what he is doing on old cars. Mine is a 1970 and he really understands what makes these old jags run correctly. I’m impressed! Thanks.

It’s hard to find good specialized service for foreign cars and I thought I had found the place. Unfortunately not.
Jim, the owner, is a nice guy but VERY quirky. I’ve been using him for the other Jaguar I had back in 2004 and had no problems. Recently, however I had been in a collision and went to Jim to revive my cat. All went smoothly (surprising enough) as we tacked the car in chunks.
Few hundred dollars here, couple junk yard parts there, and even some new parts.
But in our final stint, Jim’s old man ways of NO COMPUTERS caught up to him.
We had agreed on a flat rate of $ 1600 before any work was started. My mistake was thinking that he would remember given the fact that it was over the phone. Big mistake.
When it comes time to pay he comes at me for $ 2300. That was not what we said and he wouldn’t even meet in the middle.
We argue back and fourth and he refuses to make any kind of deal because of his mistake.
I ended up paying his number because I needed my car and he was being extremely hard to work with.
A day later and the things he was supposed to fix still don’t work. I’m outraged.
Bottom line is that he is a nice old man that has some GENERAL knowledge of cars but that’s it. He is old and needs to retire. Take your Jaguar to Coventry Cars in Pacific Beach. More than worth the drive

My husband and I inherited an older Jaguar that hadn’t been driven or moved in two years. I had it towed to Jags Unlimited for an inspection and overview of what needed to be done to get it in good working condition. I spoke with the owners wife and confirmed what was to be done. A few days went by and I hadn’t heard anything so I called in. I spoke with the mechanic, who wasn’t aware of anything but then said he’d look and do the inspection. A few more days passed and I called again, and got the owner. He had no knowledge of what was to be done and said he hadn’t looked at the car. A few more days pass and I call back. I’m annoyed at this point. The owner says «What do you want done to the car?» What do I want done? THE INSPECTION. The thing I brought it in for. I explained numerous times we just want to get it running and sell it. He says «I guess I could drive it». So after a week and a half, explaining to three people what I wanted to do, nothing happened. He suggested new brakes, for $ 2,800. When I asked shocked if it needed new brakes he said «Well, not really, but, what do you want done to it?». I stated that if he couldn’t do an assessment, I would have to take it somewhere else, to which he replied «That’s fine, when can you come get it?». Worst customer experience

GREAT advice. Two months later I needed to take my X-​Type in for unscheduled maintenance. The part was not available, I had no prearranged transportation established and expected to have to make arrangements. They obtained the part, fixed my vehicle (in record time) and I was on my «merry way»! I’ve been back several time since and the experience has been the same. The service is truly as «GOOD as it gets!»

Had a great experience with my sweet ride «Ruby J» XJ8… I had a mild transmission oil leak and thinking it’s was going to cost me «to the moon and back» with a new transmission. Jim is the MAN !!! Ruby J had a warped transmission pan, replaced, transmission needed more fluid and service… YAAAAA and that was it… botta-​bing/​botta-​boom… it was fixed for under $ 400.00 and I must say, I left a very Happy Happy Jag owner !!! LOVE my 2004 «Ruby J» XJ8 and LOVE Jags Unlimited !!!

Great service! Take your JAG here. You will not be disappointed.

The owner loves Jaguars. The owner knows and drives Jaguars. The garage is filled with XKEs, MkIIs, XJ-​6 S I-​III. Took my S-​Type in and had it serviced for half of what dealers charge, plus had a great conversation with the gentleman about the brand.
No BS here, just honest, high-​quality repairs at a reasonable price!
