5-star rating by JT L.
I am a supplier for Jeff at British Auto Service. Ive dealt with Jeff, his brother and father for over 25 years and these folks have always been a favorite to deal. If you like to deal with a no nonsense type of individual that has a wealth of knowledge about British vehicles, get in to see Jeff Burnett. I think he bleeds LMA. More...

I have a 2001 XKR and never trusted it to anyone but a dealer. Wanted to change due to high dealer costs and tried Burnett British Automotive services. I need routine servicing and it was reasonably priced. Jeff told me I would be needing new front brakes in 6 months or so. His quoted price was way below a dealer’s price... More...

I am married to my 1974 1/2 MGB and, as they say, marriage is hard work. When I need counseling and repair, I send my car all the way down the Peninsula to Jeff. Call me sentimental, but I kind of consider him part of the family in terms of trust and how easy it is to communicate. Honesty and integrity is the name of the game here... More...

I've dealt with Jeff Burnett and his family for over 25 years. They have always been extremely easy to deal with and fair to boot.
5-star rating by Geoffrey Y.
Jeff provided exactly what I was looking for with my 1991 Jaguar. He listened to my requests and respected my choices involving the extent of the repairs I needed. Communication is key in auto service and Jeff was very open with everything... I will definitely be coming back to Burnett British Automotive Services... More...

Jeff knows vintage British cars. He is the only guy I let work on my "63 Austin Healey 3000. Very fair and straight forward to work with. Recommended him to family and friend with vintage cars.

I have been using Burnett's for about 30 years on my 67 Austin Healey 3000, and for the last several years have not been following their advice to drive it more. During the pandemic, I hardly drove it, and it started to overheat and eventually the engine began running very rough, to the point I hardly ever drove it. I met several of the new mechanics and was happy to learn that some of them had extensive experience with old British classics. They kept me updated as they fixed the obvious problems and discovered others. Items that were probably old problems were identified and we agreed on a plan that involved extensive brake, valves and carburetor overhauls. I picked up the Harley and found that they had done all of that, plus lubed most everything and cleaned the engine and radiator so we'll that it looked like a new power train under the bonnet. Car runs better than it had for years. Nice work, and nice folks.
