That’s what we’re doing for February: bringing up a star hitter to join us as our new lead Jaguar expert.

He’s been working on Jaguars for eight years and has achieved the highest levels of certification possible for a Jaguar mechanic.

“Thankfully, he’s one of those technically talented young men who opted to go into auto work rather than into programming computers,” says Mark Singleton. “He’ll be very key in helping BEM stay completely abreast of the newer technologies Jaguar has been steadily introducing.

“As newer Jags pass out of warranty, owners can bring them to us for post-warranty work confident that we have the most up-to-date knowledge base of any repair facility in the region.”

Singleton says that as a bonus the new man also brings extensive restoration experience with him. “He’s a hands-on guy who loves technology the most when he can take it apart, fix it and then patiently put it back together.”

After he’s onboard with us, we’ll introduce him in the next online issue of Sonoma Classics with a look at the results of our continuing “Executive Search” efforts.
