Jaguar vehicles are luxurious, elegant and have top-tier performance. They provide a driving experience like no other vehicle.

Ignoring repairs can cause damage to additional components and add hundreds or even thousands of dollars to repair bills.

Common Jaguar
Issues
Knowing the signs of problems can help you head them off before they become too costly. Some common issues and their signs include.
ENGINE PERFORMANCE
If your Jaguar engine idles rough, has poor acceleration, or you hear unusual noises from the engine, you may have issues with the fuel system, ignition system, or sensors. Noises can also mean bearing and rod knocks and valve tapping due to a lack of oil.
ELECTRICAL ISSUES
The Jaguar electrical system is complex. You may notice issues with lights, electronics and even dashboard warning lights. Always have these electrical problems checked immediately, as a short could cause a fire or drivability issues.
SUSPENSION AND HANDLING
Jaguar designed its suspension for a smooth ride. If ride quality declines, you have handling issues, or the suspension makes noise, see a Jaguar specialist at MB Automotive Services as soon as possible.
BRAKING
Squealing brakes usually indicate low brake pads. If you ignore this problem, you could score the rotors so much that they cannot be machined. A soft brake pedal indicates a leak. If you have any braking issues, contact a Jaguar brake specialist at MB Automotive Services as soon as possible.
TRANSMISSION AND DRIVETRAIN
Shifting issues, vibrations and slipping are all issues we have seen in Jaguar transmissions. If you notice any of these issues, we can diagnose and repair them so you can be back on the road.

Vehicle Issues
To minimize unexpected breakdowns and to keep your Jaguar in excellent running condition, timely preventative maintenance is mandatory. Your owner’s manual will tell you when you should do most things on the preventative maintenance list. If you no longer have an owner’s manual or the manufacturer did not list something, you can call the shop with the year and model of your Jaguar, plus the VIN, and we can look up that information for you. Depending on the model, year, and engine, maintenance intervals vary.
Preventative maintenance and common intervals include:
- Oil and filter changes, usually every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
- Tune-up every 40,000 to 100,000 miles.
- Transmission flush and filter change every 40,000 to 60,000 miles.
- Coolant flush every 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.
- Brake fluid flush every 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.
- Power steering fluid flush every 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.
- Fuel filter replacement every 40,000 to 75,000 miles.
- Engine air filter replacement as needed: Check at every oil change.
- Cabin air filter replacement every 20,000 to 40,000 miles.
- Alignment every year or, if driving on poorly maintained roads, every six months.
