** Vintage Car Connection (Appraisals)
“If you need your classic car appraised or are considering the purchase of a classic car, I highly recommend Alan Lewis at Vintage Car Connection. I have used several appraisers over the years but have found Alan to be by far the most knowledgeable and thorough. the report he provides is very detailed and professional in appearance, and in fact makes a good keepsake for you classic car's history.”

Lang Motor Corporation, Etobicoke, Ontario

After several months of searching for an A/C heater unit for my 1988 Jag, which I had been told needed replacing, a friend recommended Lang Motor Car Corp in Etobicoke. It was found that it did not need replacing and was repaired in reasonable time while I waited. The cost was a very pleasant surprise. The problem was diagnosed and explained to me by knowledgeable and very friendly staff.
I cannot speak highly enough of this company and recommend them for your Jaguar needs.

Alex just completed a body work repair and paint on my '67 Morgan 4/4.
While he is not the fastest, his work is second to none with added bonus that his price was less than half the price that other body shops had quoted. The fenders were removed from the body and stripped down to bare metal as was the remainder of the body. Rust spots were repaired with new metal added where necessary. The car and fenders were painted and then clear coated and the car reassembled.

Greg Brown has done a couple of small jobs for me satisfactorily. I found him willing to listen to my tale of woe and apply the appropriate solution. He worked on MGs in Jamaica and knows his way around the foibles of the MG. I will have no problem asking him to do a tune up, which I will probably do in the next few weeks.
I feel confident taking my 1976 MGB to him, as Ralph posted Greg Brown had experience working on MGs in Jamaica.

They work on everything from custom cars, to classic cars and to your every day driver.
“I recommend Lake Side Auto and Brian Armstrong after he workied on my 1967 MGB, preparing it after winter storage. He did a very thorough job.”
