Recent Reviews

2006 Jaguar XK8
Michael was absolutely thorough and professional. He completed the inspection on the same day, and has a very polished platform to access both information and photos. I would highly recommend his services!
1997 Land Rover Defender
Simply fantastic! Michael and Brown & Co. Motorcars are efficient, timely, and very knowledgeable in all things classic/modern cars. Being out of state, Michael worked with the local dealership in the Jacksonville area on my behalf and had a PPI completed within 24hrs of my initial request. I could not have asked for better customer service and honesty! If you have any doubt in your mind, don’t hesitate to reach out and Michael will be glad to assist you!
