European Car Mechanic in Ensenada?
Dear All,
About 2 years ago, someone mentioned a mechanic in Ensenada whom they thought could fix Jaguars, but I cannot find that thread. Does anybody know of
one?
Thanks.

What is the Jaguar not doing? What are its symptoms?
Some repairs are not Jaguar-specific and can be done by many mechanics, if the problem is not electronic. Not electric, but electronic, as in computer
or module controlled.
If it's just leaking a small amount of oil, hey, it's a British car.

If there is/was a Jag mechanic in Ensenada, he probably starved to death a long time ago.

On the other hand, even ONE Jaguar in town would keep him in business.
You know the old saying about British cars..............
If it runs, sell it.

Thank you for your efforts, Dr! My Spanish-speaking skills are limited, but what I see in your link is (a) an article about a Jaguar model (that is
newer and much costlier than mine), plus (b) a list of mechanics that seems to bear no relation to the article. Am I missing something?

Funny you should ask. It broke down in San Diego, where I left it with a European Car repair shop, after being "turned down" by a couple of shops
that did not have the tools (computer? software?) with which to fix it. (I had to bus back to Ensenada). The car kept stalling; it needs 2 ignition
module$, which had to be ordered. (It also has an ABS problem that the mechanic will look into, once the stalling problem is resolved.)
The purpose of my inquiry is to know, in advance, where I can take the car (i.e., a place that has the tools to determine what's wrong) if it acts up
again near home.

How did you know THAT, Robert? It may not be "sniffing" rats, but it STINKS to high hell of mice! They got to it last year - despite its being
garaged - nested all over it, using its upholstery (and wiring coatings).
Then, about 3 weeks ago, in my new place (also with a garage), they found it and started nesting again. (I think I've cleared them out, and I leave
traps in the car, as well as using an ultrasound machine.) But that's not the current (mechanical) problem.
My POOR kitty.

I was thinking of a mechanic who specialized in European cars. I imagine there are a few of them in the Ensenada area.

It was made by Jaguar, then a subsidiary of Ford. I actually have had few problems with it over the past 6-7 years that I have owned it.
As for selling it? In my search for the prior thread where I thought someone recommended a mechanic, I came across another thread in which I asked
about the 2000 Subaru Outback I'd just inherited. You, Dennis, had advised me to get rid of it. I can't figure out why you would have advised that:
It's an AWD car, on which I put all-terrain tires, and it is GREAT for this part of the world. (I admit that the Jag is another story.)

JAG vs SUB
That's a no brainer if you can find anyone to buy the jag..2nd thought
just start driving the suba and get the suba service in the calif..much better for the car and its health !!! and you will much more happy over time

I can't imagine having said that since I know less than nothing about the vehicle.

Let me sit down before you tell me how much the ignition modules cost.
OK, I'm sitting.............
What model is this? How many miles on it? How long have you owned it?
How long have you lived in the Ensenada are? I realize you are in Punta Banda but you still have to drive it into town. I ask because I would think
many Jags would be a desirable car to thieves and Ensenada is said to be a town with a high rate of car theft. Just suggesting that if the car is a
thief magnet as well as difficult to get service on, maybe you should consider changing wheels, if you can afford it.
My sister used to own an XJS. It did give her problems but it sure was a pleasure to drive when it was running, so I can understand having an
attachment to Jaguars.
