I recently brought my Jaguar F-Pace Sport to Steve's Jaguar after being told by the new ownership at Jaguar Land Rover Thousand Oaks that I needed over $6,000 in repairs. I've always trusted Jaguar service in the past, but since the management changed, the quality and trust just haven't been the same. Something didn't feel right, so I decided to get a second opinion. I'm so glad I did. David at Steve's Jaguar was upfront, professional, and got my car in quickly for inspection. After thoroughly checking everything the dealership had flagged, he discovered there were no coolant or major oil leaks at all. All my car needed was a new oil plug and windshield wipers--a total of $300 instead of $6,000! Finding honest and skilled service these days is rare, and I can confidently say that Steve's Jaguar has earned a lifetime customer. Thank you, David, for your integrity and excellent service! read more

I recently acquired a 1955 Jaguar MK VII M and brought it to Steve with a few questions. Although he was extremely busy with a garage full of Jaguars in various stages of renovation he was extremely gracious, taking time to stop and look at some of my issues, suggesting a few things I could do on my own or places I could go to get products, and even gave me some felt lining for my window channels free of charge. What a nice and honest guy. He's definitely my new Jaguar guru! read more

Steve's is my go to Jaguar place for maintenance and service. He is always reliable, honest and fair. Strongly recommend this place for all Jags over 5 years old. read more

Nothing but excellent Jaguar service and restoration. This team listens, understands and recommends service you need, not service you don't! Just look around the shop and the yard at the array of Jags and you'll understand why we've had our 2005 XJ8 serviced and thriving thanks to Steve and his guys. The best. read more

Steve's Jag is great. They are honest and up front about what needs to be done and communicates throughout the process. I trust them for all the work on my 2012 XK. read more

Previously whenever I needed servicing on my 2006 XK8 Jaguar Roadster, I had taken it to Galpin motors. My car has a grand total of 35,000 original miles on it. This thing is my baby. So the only thing it has needed has been fluid changes a set of windshield wipers and a set of tires. Each time I have gone into Galpin , I always get the squeeze for more$$ money. Like the last time I went to get the oil changed, I was told I needed a new set of tires. This set only has 16,000 miles on them. They are pristine as the day I purchased them. When I pointed that out to the Galpin Pirate his reply was,"Yeah, but they're still old!" A Buddy recommended Steve's Jaguar. They did everything I asked them to look into. There was no attempt to gouge me out of any extra money. No more Galpin rip offs. I'm going to trust the experts at Steve' Jaguars from now on. The place looks like a Jaguar museum . So if you'd repair is minor or a complete restoration Steve's Jaguar is the place to go to and do so with confidence that you're in good hands. read more

I was debating to write this review for days but when my engine light came on this morning, after being serviced just last week, I decided to write about my experience at Steve's Jaguar. This was my second time taking the car to this shop. Despite the experience I had the last visit: I had 3 issues that time. Number 1 being some white chemical dripping down my back window that not only was not cleaned off when I got the car back from the shop, but would not even come off when I took the car to be washed And detailed. Second was: I got an estimate for over $4000 which included changing the the rotors and break pads. Since the amount was so high, I thought they would do all 4. They only did the front 2. And third issue was Steve driving my car home at the end of the day, without telling me beforehand. It is the owner's right to know and give permission prior to such activity. Despite all this and against tha little-tiny voice inside my head, I took the car back to him for service and the rear breaks. While they test drove the car, a hose broke. The office manager called me, almost apologetic, and told me I had to pay another $1200 to fix that. According to Steve, I should have been grateful that it happened while he was driving. Well, I'm not. I don't know what they did or how the hose broke but I know that test drive was over 100 miles. They might not keep track of my odometer, but I do. All and all he is rude, way too expensive and they don't do the job they are supposed to. I would not recommend. read more

A master of his craft. Vintage Jaguars, E types, XKs, MK sedans in various states of restoration and assembly abound - more like an artist's studio.....seemingly little he does not know about Jags .... let him do his thing and check in periodically on how your vintage wrench magnet is coming along.... never tries to talk you into more ... I dealt with a British Jag guy in Newbury Park before Steve - Steve basically had to redo almost everything step by step as Mr Newbury park's work failed, or was not installed properly etc... read more

So my vintage Jaguar XJ8 gets towed into Steve's Jaguar over in Canoga Park...not sure why Jaguar doesn't give a free tow truck with every car purchase, but that's another story. Not being at the repair facility when my car got towed in, I explained to George on the phone how my loving Jag performed amazingly coming home at 5 A.M. from an after hours vampire bar downtown, then decided to shut off right as we pulled into our driveway. I highly recommend you take loving care of your car too, she might just give something back in return like breaking down right as you arrive home...I swear these Jags have actual souls! So, I called AAA and arranged for a tow and in less than 24 hours Steve's had the job completed, which was quite a time consuming job. I was shocked, but as soon as my Uber pulled up to Steve's, I saw more Jag XKE's parked out front than a Los Angeles Jaguar dealership in 1967, a couple million dollars worth of British dreams all in a row. Mechanics don't get clients bringing those to you unless you know what the hell you are doing, and the guys at Steve's are Jag experts. As was my guess (us car nuts know our baby's like a Momma knows her 1 month old) he replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, topped of some fluids (all Jaguars leak oil, darling) ordered a few extra parts, and drumroll...a few extras he comped that I noticed immediately getting into the car and appreciated beyond words...the kind of thing old school respectable and trustworthy mechanics did for their clients (hell, Jaguar owners are clients, not customers). If you are one of those Cali cats that want to complain about the repair costs, then why the hell did you buy a Jaguar? Maybe Jaguar owners thin out their wallets on occasion, however, rolling down the road in those curvy, low slung British sex machines with the smell of Connoly leather drifting through the cabin is worth one hundred repairs. Yeah, the Brits struggled on mechanical convenience, but Jags, like an incredible woman, are beautiful, sexy, mysterious, complicated and turn every head as they enter the room, or in this case, drive down the road. You might say I'm a sucker, but then you probably never rolled up in valet in a vintage XJ or XKE and looked like not only a million dollars, but a CLASSY million dollars. Go to Steve's...those dudes driving those $100,000-$200,000 XKE's don't play games! THANK YOU STEVE's for taking such great care of my baby. My old girl is not an XKE, but a girl can always dream behind her burl wood dash and an ass wrapped in sumptuous Connolly leather! Tip: Once you get that Jag, find a cheap, but dependable local tow truck driver and become really good friends with him...I'd recommend inviting him over for beers and burgers...you'll thank me one day! read more

I inherited my father's e-type. The car sat outside in the elements for years; hence it was a complete disaster when we took it to Steve. Steve agreed to help us with the restoration. It would have never been possible without Steve, Dave, David, and Jorge. I can't thank them enough for their knowledge, patience, and expertise. read more

My mechanic said that my 2004 xk8 needs computer replaced I did not believe him So I took to Steve and he found the problem was a fuel injector If you have a jaguar take to Steve they are trustworthy jaguar mechanic read more

Called and he did not seem interested at all in taking me as a client. Acted like he was bothered I even called to ask about my Jaguar. I don't need to go to a place that seems annoyed that you are calling and say" I can't even look at it until weeks from now anyways." That might be true, but maybe seem like you want the business. read more

I wanted to take the time to write an update due to comments from Vesna M. I wrote MY review based on MY experience. Everything I said about MY experience was true. On my review, I had a lot to say with little time that day and not to mention... this is YELP. I'm not writing an essay for a midterm, so most likely it is not perfect, IT IS legible. Steve's Jaguar Service is still the ONLY Auto Repair shop that I have received bad customer service from, I did not feel welcomed and the older man I met there spoke to me rudely. They did not want to give me the time of day. I did not converse with the older man for long. I only had the chance to greet him, give him my name and tell him the car issue, so I know it was not something that I said to be treated that way. When I asked a younger man working there for prices on service, he would give the price and then say "If my boss wants to do it." Who does that? I can only speak on what I have experienced and I left feeling hurt like no one wanted to help me. My family loves jags and owns a variety (2000 S-type 4.0, 2001 xk8 convertible, 2000 xkr coupe, 2015 F-type coupe). I have been driving a jaguar since 16 yrs old, I am 25 now. So I am familiar with prices for parts and service. If the service is great, I can pay the price but MY first impression was horrible, bad customer service. Luckily, I'm a AAA member so they referred me to one of their approved mechanics who is an award winning foreign car specialist. RAHBI at AUTOPRO SERVICE CENTER is the best and his huge wall of awards will tell you that. He always provides outstanding service. He knows Jaguars very well, being an owner of one himself but Rahbi also specializes in services for other foreign luxury cars as well. He is very straight forward when it comes to prices and service. He is honest and charges normal rates (for a jaguar). Oh, did I mention he is AAA approved? If you want great and friendly customer service from a knowledgeable mechanic, see RAHBI ! AUTOPRO SERVICE CENTER 6100 W PICO BLVD LOS ANGELES, CA 90035 323 936 1199 read more

I have been bringing my Jags to Steve for a few years now. I recently had a stalling problem in my 1996 Vanden Plas. It was really tricky to find the problem, but Steve never gave up and eventually found the problem.!! Steve and his guys are totally professional and are patient to answer questions for those of us NOT mechanically inclined. His prices are fair. I think Steve's Jaguar Service is the best in all of the San Fernando Valley! I will only take my Jags to him! Highly recommended!! read more

Took my jaguar to Stevie's for maintenance and repair. They provided excellent care and repair to my car. Straightforward, courteous and professional team who themselves are Jaguar enthusiasts. They performed a comprehensive assessment of my car and did fast work. I am now enjoying my car in the summer due to their services. Mechanic shops should work the with the same way. And there was no "upsell" of services. I also found their prices more affordable than jaguar dealership. read more

Steve and David are so nice and professional they took care of me the work on the car was great and price was very fair If your car is out of warranty this is the place to go read more

Recently took my 70 etype in to Steve's for some refurbishing and tuning and as expected the work was excellent, efficient, and fairly priced. When I need service for this vehicle the only people I trust are Steve and David and their excellent team of trained professionals. read more

If you own any year Jaguar, you must visit Steve. My recent visit was less than half the cost of the dealer quoted price and was done quickly and professionally. My Carnival Red 1999 xk8 has never run better, they even washed it... Steve and his staff are knowledgeable and as honest as they come. One of the best business of any type in Los Angeles. PS: I also disagree with the review by Brie and think she should retract it, this place deserves a solid 5 star rating. read more

Very cool. Great shop for older Jaguars. Steve and Dave are extremely knowlegable and proactive. Nothing about a Jaguar is inexpensive, particularly an old one, but the guys get it done right the first time and are reliable. read more

Solidly pleasant experience. Especially enjoyed the fact that they would text me updates since I usually don't have my phone on me at work. Spent a little more than I would have liked, but based on my research it was an average price to spend for the work. I would definitely come back for as long as I keep my Jag. read more

Great mechanics but very very very very expensive. They do know their way around a Jaguar and will fix the problem correctly but again I must mention expensive otherwise very good. read more

I've been taking my 2000 S to Steve for many years and love their service. The staff is friendly, helpful and he is an approved Jag dealer for scheduled maintenance. His location is much more convenient for close to home service rather than going to Jag dealerships at Galpin or Thousand Oaks. They get a thumbs up for me! read more

Steve's Jaguar is the best. Fair prices and work well done. If it doesn't need doing, they'll tell you. I read Brie's review, and I get it. These guys work hard and are old school. They don't have a lot of time for chit chat, so there is none. Brie, it's not because you're young or because you're a woman. It's just the way it is. If you want to try curt, try getting an older Landcruiser fixed. Those guys are getting to be hen's teeth and they really don't go in for customer relations much at all. read more

I've owned several unique foreign cars over the years and I understand the importance of finding a mechanic who is professional, responsible and reasonable. If you own a Jag, stop looking, you won the lottery with Steve. #realdeal read more

The place is entertaining because all the cars--some of them dating from the '50s--are very interesting to look at and inquire about with the staff in their various state of repair or restoration. It seems everybody working there has a high appreciation for the Jaguar brand and is grateful to work on the vehicle which certainly maximizes quality. (I work in computer/IT support so I think I can relate). read more
