MEET THE OWNER
Bryan Groves is
an expert on the repair, restoration, and
care of your special British Car. Hailing originally
from Portsmouth, England, Bryan came to the states
in 1986 while on vacation and fell in love with his
lovely wife and California, settling down here in beautiful Visalia.
In addition to over two decades
of experience on British Cars of all types, and Jaguars
in particular, he has impressive credentials.
Bryan worked
as a journeyman mechanic in the UK, having served a rigorous five
year apprentiship through the University of London.
Only the best mechanics in England are
certified as MOT Inspector
(Ministry of Transport), and he was one of the best in this capacity.
Before begining European Auto, Bryan
worked for several years at another local shop specializing
in British Cars.
When the local Jaguar dealership in Visalia, Putnam-Winde Jaguar
closed it's doors a few years back, there was a void in the
area for repair work of this sort. Many ex-dealer customers
sought Bryan out, where he was now a partner at
the Visalia Imports repair shop. Bryan's reputation grew more and more
by the quality of his work and satisfaction of their customers.
However Bryan's dedication to preserving,
restoring, and servicing British makes prompted him to
start European Auto. Now in it's third year,
Bryan and his staff have built an excellent local reputation for
caring for all type of British Autos. Land Rover
and Jaguar are a specialty.
