This page lists repair specialties we offer Tucson


We are a Quality car repair shop. Certainly late model Land Rover, Range Rover, Mini Cooper, hybrids, and Jaguar are the 'common' cars we maintain daily. But many of you have different and more esoteric needs we satisfy, and have done since 1975.

Easy to say, but for you, the client, it is often difficult to find a special mechanic with those delicate skills you need. So here we list for you some of the little details which set us apart from any average European garage, and some of the cars with which we have far better than average experience. These are the basis for our long and successful trade.

In Tucson (ney, the Country really) there are few craftsmen left, but we are some of them: our specilaty. People travel from all over Arizona, New Mexico, and from southern California for our value: we also hope to see you here sometime, if you are comfortable with our solid background, spelled out here, and unique approach.  'What is your approach,' you ask: Quality First.

    • "Alan knows -- Alan fixes anything"

    British cars may be our passion, but not our creed: As an apprenticeship based shop, all knowledge and skills are shared and passed down. Over the decades here our attitude that things must be fully understood if they are to be repaired effectively has become our mantra.

    Quality maintenance and repair is our creed.  Intelligent auto repair and service is our job ... every minute, every day.

    Consequently, if the guy changing the oil or brakes on your car notices a problem, all our skills are drawn together to develop the best solution. No one of us is best at all facets of the services we offer you, but each and every one of us knows who is, and that task is performed by the qualified one. Unlike the normal facility, where your assigned technician’s shortcomings result in a lesser job in some regards, we all pitch in at Falconworks.

    Only as a team can we bring the machinist, mechanic, metallurgist, engineer, and management together to fix each thing right. As a team we bring all of Tucson the highest standard of repair at the most inexpensive rates. But please, don't come to us looking for for a cheaper product ... just a better value.
