Personnel & Pedigree
Factory-trained diagnostic precision combined with genuine friendliness. Meet Trevor Montgomery, Layla, and our workshop mascots.
Lead Technician
Automotive Technician Accreditation (ATA) Diagnostic Technician · Ex-Minster Jaguar
Trevor’s career with the Jaguar marque began over three decades ago within the franchised main-dealer network. Working as a senior diagnostic technician at Minster Jaguar in Knaresborough, he achieved full Factory Jaguar Technician status and Automotive Technician Accreditation (ATA) in advanced electronic diagnostics.
Following the dealership closure in 2009 due to national restructuring, Trevor founded Harrogate Jagwar Specialists to preserve high-level technical expertise for local drivers without franchised overheads. While our primary specialism is Jaguar engineering, Trevor and the team have proudly looked after generations of local customers and families across Yorkshire, welcoming and maintaining all makes and models.
Whether deciphering CAN-bus communication faults on a modern F-Pace, servicing a family car, or tuning the triple SU carburettors on a series E-Type, Trevor brings unmatched depth, craftsmanship, and care to every project.
