A Jaguar and Land Rover specialist on Elgin Street in Sydenham, Christchurch, run as a family owner-operated workshop that works on classic cars as well as late models. Clinch Automotive describes its work as European vehicle repairs, maintenance and wheel alignments. The website says it offers electrical diagnosis with the latest diagnostic equipment for Jaguars and Land Rovers, and that work follows manufacturers' guidelines and service schedules. It uses genuine or aftermarket parts, on request. The owner is described as having over 30 years' experience and as a Master Jaguar Technician. The phone number is 03 377 9520.
Customers mention wheel alignment most often, along with expert diagnosis, careful explanations and Range Rover work. One owner of a pre-90s Jaguar says the team has expert knowledge of that era, gives pragmatic servicing advice and good value, and that the workshop is popular, so work should be booked well in advance. Another says a 1976 Jaguar broke down on a South Island holiday, and the team dropped everything to fix it.
