Good garage in Aberdeen

[8bit]

I normally do most work on my car (2008 XKR) myself but I've got an oil leak coming from something inside the bell housing so the gearbox is going to have to come off and I think that's likely to be too big a job for me to do on my driveway. For reasons I won't go into (partly labour costs but also past experience) I'm not keen to use the local Jaguar dealer. Couple of folk I spoke to said they weren't keen because they'd be tied up on the one job for a full couple of days or so potentially. Looking for suggestions on somewhere competent and thorough that won't be put off by a bigger job like this...

Thanks for that, will try him.

Jag specialist above sounds good but I believe Clark motorsport are meant to be pretty clued up with gearboxes.

Clark Motorsport don't have the garage business any more, that was sold to Jim Reid who operates the garage as Reidline Performance. I haven't used them for much since they changed hands as I've heard mixed reports.

Davie Angus not around any more?

I've not heard of him, who is he and where does/did he work out of?

That is / was it. Probably retired now. I'm someone will be along shortly who knows.

Aha right. I had been told about him before when I was asking about Jaguar specialists in the area. Apparently he was never keen to work on "modern" cars like mine, anything from the start of the V8 era on was off his radar.
