Jagtechnic is recognised as a leading provider of Jaguar maintenance and servicing in the southeast. Since its establishment JAGtechnic has achieved vast recognition as a leading provider of Jaguar maintenance and servicing. Having won “Best in Class Awards” for their restoration work the company has featured within various Jaguar publications and its staff “quoted” in the Times Newspaper.
In 2010 the company was chosen by Jaguar to participate in the companies 75 year Anniversary celebrations. They have been interviewed and broadcasted live on BBC breakfast radio and consequently asked to report back live on the events of the historic Coventry to Goodwood Revival Run commemorating Jaguars 75 year Anniversary.
Our new facility in Eastbourne was opened on the 17th January 2011 by the renowned Jaguar Test Development Engineer & Works Team Driver Norman Dewis, now in his 90th year. Norman has become a good friend to the team and we look forward to working with him in the future.
In 2011 we were appointed by Jaguar Heritage to carry out an engine rebuild on their 1956 Long Nose D-Type (picured above engine testing). We have since been asked to prepare the car for the 2011 Italian Mille Miglia and support its Driver (Frank Klaas), Jaguar's Global PR Manager on the event in May.
JAGtechnic was established in 1998 by company owner Paul Chipp-Smith as an independent alternative to the Jaguar main dealer workshop. The company has provided over a decade of complete Jaguar care maintaining all models, including those still within warranty and the many other models produced in Jaguar's 75 plus years of production.

Media Quotes
“Few take the trouble to restore an XJ to a high level,
let alone a Series 2 Daimler. We try an example rebuilt without compromise”
"Entering the reception area is like walking into a world of Jaguar – for visitors there’s a room with tea and coffee as well as a variety of Jaguar-related films set aside. These folk are Jaguar through and through!"
Jaguar World
“I was privileged enough to be working as a Jaguar Heritage spanner hand at the 2009 Mille Miglia alongside chief Jaguar technician John Sawyer”
Sky Motoring
“The 295bhp D-Type is remarkably easy to drive. “It is also very reliable,” John Sawyer, who gave it a total overhaul last winter at the Heritage Trust’s South Coast facility, said. “But looking after a D-Type properly does require a great deal of time and money. I know every nut and bolt of XKD 605 because I took them all off – and put them all back.”
The Times
“Ten minutes later, John Sawyer, our trusty mechanic is on the scene, instantly knows the problem and has the Weber in bits. With a squirt of WD-40 on the sticking valve, we're back in business”
