Jose and Carlsbad British Motocars have been taking care of my 1998 Jaguar and my wifes 2005 Land Rover from the very beginning, and his excellent workmanship and service have kept both vehicles running like new. His knowledge of British cars is exceptional, and hes always honest, thorough, and reliable.What really sets Jose apart is that he goes above and beyond. We also own a Tesla, and when Tesla gave us a two-week wait just for an appointment, Jose stepped in and handled the repairs for us without hesitation.Its rare to find someone this skilled and dependable. I trust Jose completely and highly recommend him and Carlsbad British Motorcars.

I cant say enough good things about Carlsbad British Motorcars. Jose and his team delivered some of the best service Ive ever experienced at any automotive shop. We brought in our Jaguar XF after two other shops refused to even diagnose it and told us to take it to the dealer. The dealer then sent an unusually brief email with almost no explanation and an outrageously high quote.Jose did the exact opposite. He thoroughly diagnosed the car, explained the issue clearly, and walked us through the best repair options without any pressure. We also brought in our LR4 HSE, and the work on both vehicles was exceptional. The teams communication, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile is truly rare.Honest, skilled, and exceptional service all around. Highly recommended.

We’re truly honored that you trusted us with both your Jaguar XF and your LR4 HSE, especially after two other shops and the dealer left you hanging.
Jose and the crew are grinning ear-to-ear reading this because doing things the right way – thorough diagnostics, clear explanations, zero pressure, and top-tier repairs – is exactly what we're about in Carlsbad British Motorcars.

We can’t wait to see you and both cars back in the shop for the next service – drive safe and thank you again for the trust and the kind words!
Warmly,

Carlsbad British Motorcars is GREAT, not only did they fix our 2004 XJ8 that we had trouble getting fixed for about half a year. From rude shops from some trying to scam us by not doing the work and charging, and obviously many who just didnt work on our car at all. Finding CBM was a breath of fresh air, also they changed the oil on our heavy duty truck today. A GMC 2500 I know thats not their specialty, but shows how capable they are here that theyll even handle a truck that often requires specialists. Jose and the team there are great! Brittany up front is super kind and helpful along with the master tech they have back there doing magic on our cars. Cant recommend CBM enough! 5 stars!!!!

Thank you so much for this incredible 5-star review! 🌟
We’re truly honored to hear that Carlsbad British Motorcars could finally put an end to the six-month nightmare with your beautiful 2004 Jaguar XJ8. Nothing makes us happier than turning a frustrating experience into a great one and earning your trust after dealing with rude shops and less-than-honest repairs elsewhere. Welcome to the CBM family — we’re thrilled to have you!
It was our pleasure tackling the oil service on your GMC 2500 Heavy Duty today as well. While British cars are our passion (especially Jaguars, Land Rovers, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, and Mini), our master technicians love a challenge and are more than capable of keeping all your vehicles running perfectly — no matter the badge on the hood.
Jose, Brittany, and the entire team send their biggest thanks for your kind words. They’re blushing back here! 😊 We’re always here for you, whether it’s keeping that XJ8 purring or making sure the big GMC is ready for whatever you throw at it.
We can’t wait to see you both (and the cars) again soon!
Warmly,
The Carlsbad British Motorcars Team
