Experienced, trustworthy Jaguar service in central Connecticut!

Our family-owned, independent Jaguar repair shop was founded in Hartford, Connecticut more than 60 years ago. After helping hundreds of great people enjoy their European luxury/performance cars, the Cusano family expanded the shop to our current location in Plainville, Connecticut. We’re still based in Hartford County and serving our friends in Fairfield, Litchfield, Middlesex, New Haven, New London, Tolland, and Windham Counties as well as Massachusetts and New York.

  • ASE Certified technicians with hands-on Jaguar experience to diagnose the problem right, the first time.
  • Quality parts that restore the joy in driving your performance vehicle.
  • Personalized service from people who prioritize customer service.
  • Great listening skills, whether you need to vent or mimic that funny noise coming from the car.
  • Flexibility, because we know you’d rather be doing lots of things rather than waiting for us to service your car.
  • Decades of experience and expertise that translates into answers you need now.

Testimonials

  • It has been over a year and many thousand miles since I bought my Jaguar from you and I feel I have known you folks long enough to have formed an opinion on your company.

    A+, Four Stars, 100%… All are not enough to convey my absolute satisfaction with everything you do. From the initial purchase of my XJSC through every service stop I have been treated with nothing but friendly courtesy, professionalism and respect. From you, Joe, and from Dean, Antony, Muffii and everyone under your roof I feel very welcome when I stop by. I especially appreciate all your patience with my inability to speak well or, as is the case now, not at all. You'd be surprised how some stores treat me when I come in to actually buy something.

    The service has been nothing but top shelf. Having a loaner car available is a huge plus for me on those days I can't wait for the service to be performed. And, my car is always returned to me clean.

    All I can say further is thank all of you for running the classiest and finest auto dealer and service facility I have ever had the pleasure to deal with.

  • Dean, just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks. I was thoroughly satisfied with the work that was done on my Jaguar recently.

    Jeff R.
  • I want to thank you for the supreme service that you recently performed on my Jaguar Vanden Plas. Your checklist certainly was effective in uncovering the items needed to make my cat really purr! Honestly, my car with now 150,000 miles (approximately) has never run so well and started so quick as it does now after this most recent service. Whatever it is you are doing, keep it up! Thanks for everything.

    Feel free to-use this letter for any solicitations you may want, we need to spread the word!

  • I am writing to thank you and your staff for the courtesies extended me in the way you did repairs last week on my 1985 Jaguar XJ6. Your work in arranging for a tow, installing a new starter and oil pressure sending unit, plus the door window alignment, were all done in a highly professional and competent
    manner.

    I am favorably impressed with your honesty and integrity. I will keep your firm in mind for friends and associates. Thanks again.

  • Dean, this is to thank you and your staff for the pleasant and excellent service you provided recently on my XJS Jaguar. You certainly made the extra effort to give me the most for my money. I appreciate the fact that you repaired all the parts necessary to put the car in top shape. This is the reason why I continue to do business with Motorcars Incorporated, even though I live more than 40 miles away.

  • The BEST. You will not find a better Jaguar specialist, nor a dealer with this level of care. I recently purchased a Jaguar from Joe and Dean without test driving as their reputation and attention to detail is well known. Their inventory, quality of cars and knowledge of Jaguar and other makes is incredible... I have used them for repairs/service in the past and was beyond impressed by the insight into the overall health of my vehicle and its needs I was provided by Mike the service manager. With Motorcars you are working with experts in their field across the board, It is an understatement to say that you are in good hands.

  • I got my 1st Jaguar last summer. It's an older XJ-S, and Dean took great care of me and my car. The car appeared to be in very good condition, but I wanted someone who was familiar with XJ-S's to go through, inspect it and make certain it was reliable. Dean went through it and called when something came up that wasn't discussed previously. Very knowledgeable and thorough. I spent the rest of the summer enjoying my car. I'll be back for regular maintenance and advice. I highly recommend Dean and Motorcars for your older Jaguar.

    I was quite nervous purchasing a vintage Jaguar as I am not a mechanic. I was so impressed speaking with Joe and Dean Cusano. Once I spoke with them I decided to take the chance on a 54 year old car. I had only seen pictures of it online. Dean prepared the car for me so that I could drive 400 miles from their business to my home in VA. They treated me like I was family. They immediately got back to me with the answers to all of my questions. Never ever have I had such an amazing experience with a car dealership. I would not hesitate to buy one of the quality cars from Motorcars Incorporated! They were honest and it was offered at a fair price.

  • John S3 years ago

    Very impressive! Had an older XJ6 FULLY SERVICED, Mike and Dean were very thorough and called every few days to update status estimated costs. They discussed every detail, even small leaks and AC belts to make the car 100% dependable as a daily driver. They installed new tires at a huge discount, they are part of the Town Fair Tire franchise, so the tires are warranted all over CT Everything was explained again at payment time, it was nice to review the repairs and how each small repair restored the Jag to it's full glory!!

  • Hunter Graham2 years ago

    Joe helped me from start to finish on purchasing an XJS convertible I had my eye on that they were selling, all done remotely and out of state. As both my first “classic car” and out of state purchase he patiently answered all my questions and was professional in every part of the process. I really appreciated the experience and ended up getting a fantastic vehicle. Their reputation for their expertise in classic Jaguars is known throughout the region and I can see why. Thanks Joe!

    Prestige Jaguars with power and luxury, low miles excellent prices, These specialists know where to find rare and epic motors for you performance needs!

  • Gregor Hembrough2 years ago

    Dean and his brother Joe restored my 1966 E-Type back in 2000. Since then, this classic has been following me as I moved to Europe, California and now back to the East Coast. The car has seen numerous technicians over the 22 years I've had it, however, no one can match the level of professionalism, competence and genuine care that Dean's team exhibits. This team is second to none and are benchmark from my experiences.

    I bought my car from these guys years ago and I took it back for a small issue which they took care of in record time. I trust them with my vehicle any day.
