Help needed picking a garage to replace a jag engine?
Discussion
Hi all, I’m wondering if you may have some advice for picking a garage?
To cut a very long story short we have to replace the engine in a 66plate jag.
I’ve looked at lots of quotes from garages, and they all seem to be approx the same price, around £4000.
I’ve looked at online reviews and most are quite mixed, is there anything I should be looking for with a garage or any warning signs of a bad garage?
Any help would be appreciated

£4000 just to swap, or to supply and fit?
If supply and fit, if it a new or S/H engine ?
Are they offering a warranty ?
Which jaguar is it and which engine ?
What happens if things break on removal ?
What happens if they find things that need addressing while engine is removed ?
You question is too vague for people to really help you I'm afraid.

Goodwill needs a protocol? That's like Campbell saying to Blair 'On Tuesday you will be spontaneous'!
The OP hasn’t said anything about whether he’s stayed in the network for servicing and if you were a manufacturer would you give someone goodwill that has left the network once the warranty has run out?Thanks everyone:-) and thanks for the recommendation of the garage
I get the post doesn’t have all the details but we are at a point now where we really just Needed some advice on signs to spot with a good and not so good garage for a job like this.
It’s bee 6 mths since original breakdown and we’ve exhausted pretty much every option other than having a used engine fitted.
This is following 6 mths or arguing with warranty company to pay the remaining half, unfortunately they want the engine stripped before assessing the claim and after looking at their reviews online we don’t feel that they would pay even if we did have the engine stripped.
So lots of hard and expensive lessons learnt.
We just really need the car back and running now, so any garage do’s and don’ts are greatly appreciated :-)

I seem to recall a Warranty company who Directly told someone on here that they wouldn't be paying out for their BMW M5 engine that failed. Long legal wrangle later and they honoured the claim.I get the post doesn’t have all the details but we are at a point now where we really just Needed some advice on signs to spot with a good and not so good garage for a job like this.

Not sure if the original thread still exists mind you! But, bleh that sounds so annoying!
