Yes they do from a non-dialogue perspective as rocket......oops sorry Land Rover 'polishers.' My experience with them has been varied.......infrequently good but more often as per quote 1.......

Dealers experience can depend on ambient millibar pressure of the day, whether the sun is shining, and perhaps most importantly how strong and which way the wind is blowing?
One dealer I have used their customer care and service standard can vary hugely. One visit they will bend over backwards to offer assistance and advice and the next they can have an 'air of arrogance' beyond belief.


A paint repair their own bodyshop had carried out......

Hello stanley

Nice add but you do start to think as it gets to the main message that
maybe for some it's a triumph of PR over experience.

To be fair the majority of servicing (for me) at JLR has been good,
they are just eye-wateringly expensive at between £1.50 - £2.00 a minute
(but they would argue on-par with other 'premium car servicing')

My last visit to my local JLR Dealer, a recall to fix seat belt bolts, resulted
in the work being done ok, but someone, a mechanic probably, (called Matt)
writing his name (durrrrr Rolling with laughter ) across my spare wheel cover, the car
wasn't totally clean going in and so very fine hire-line scratches spelling out
this guys name could be seen when cleaned off. It took me around 30 minutes
to cut and polish this out.

I now have a 'free valeting promise' against my vehicle, if I take it back there,
I have no plans to take up this offer... Exclamation SKIP
