Long time admirer of the F-Type, hoping to purchase shortly.
Wondered where those of you in Dorset/Hampshire take your car for servicing?
Ideally in the Bournemouth/Southampton area but Salisbury or pushing into East Devon eg Exeter also doable

Appreciate any recommendations

A few of us use Foxtec Services near Southampton's football ground. Not a Jaguar specialist, but they're on the ball and never been found wanting - https://www.foxtecservices.co.uk/

No courtesy cars or shiny showroom, but no dealer labour rates, either! Tell him Steve recommended him.

AJ Tech in Newton Abbot. Brill! Will is a specialist in Jaguar and Aston Martin.

Just had a major 72month service there, supercharger off, cooling pipes changed etc. All good.

I use Brittons Ash garage in Taunton; no-nonsense Jaguar specialist, helpful and knows his subject.

May I ask what they charged to do the SC and coolant pipe work?

Nice one 👍🏻 Pretty reasonable too. Are they able to access Jaguar OSH records to update?

Contemplating DIY, but may go this route.....got it all the aluminium pipes from the US.

I don’t think they can but that’s a guess, I’ll ask them…. Because I’ve emailed Jaguar to update it and they haven’t responded!

Best to keep paper records - servers can lose data or crash.
