Serving Clifton, Franklin, Hawthorne & Newton, NJ, plus Lodi opening soon
KRP Lodi is opening soon.
From the F-Pace and XF to the F-Type and the electric I-Pace, Jaguars blend performance and comfort. KRP services every Jaguar, including the supercharged V6 and V8 engines and the electronics that come with them.
Jaguar is built by the same company as Land Rover and Range Rover, so engines and electronics overlap: the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8, and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines in newer models. Most Jaguar problems are well documented, which makes a careful diagnosis the most valuable thing we do.
Jaguar repair near you usually starts with cooling, electrical or transmission work, and all three reward a careful diagnosis. Our Hawthorne and Franklin shops handle Jaguar AC repair, coolant leaks on the supercharged engines and fluid service on the eight-speed automatic.
What Jaguar owners bring us most often, and where each repair usually starts.
| What you notice | What it often points to | Where we start |
|---|---|---|
| Coolant loss on a supercharged V6 or V8 | The water pump and the plastic coolant pipes and outlets are common leak points. | Cooling system |
| A rattle at start-up on a 2.0-liter four-cylinder | Timing chain stretch on some earlier engines of this family. | Engine repair |
| Several warning lights after the car sits | Low battery voltage confusing the modules. | Battery and charging |
| Clunks over bumps | Worn control arm bushings and ball joints, which carry a lot of weight on these cars. | Steering and suspension |
| Harsh shifts on an eight-speed automatic | Fluid condition. The transmission is labeled as filled for life, but fluid service at higher mileage often helps. | Transmission service |
| I-Pace tires wearing quickly | Weight and instant torque. Rotation and alignment on schedule matter. | Tires |
Yes. They are built by the same company and share engines, electronics and many parts.
At higher mileage, a fluid and filter service often improves shift quality and helps the transmission last. We check the fluid first and show you what we find. See transmission service.
Yes, for tires, alignment, brakes, suspension, cabin systems and the 12-volt battery.
Most repairs at KRP Automotive are guaranteed for as long as you own your vehicle. If you pay for a repair at our shop, you shouldn’t have to pay for it again, that’s our promise at all four open New Jersey locations.
