Aberdeenshire independents?
Hi folks,
Pretty new on here and enjoying my first D4 here in snowy Aberdeenshire! Just wondering if anyone has some tips on good independent garages around the area as loathed to use the stealer in Aberdeen....
Here's a photo of the D4 in its glory....
Cheers, Brian.

The dealer is actually ok just now, but alternatives are
Kirkstyle, Kemnay
Greenbank 4x4
Both have served me well in the past as has Frank Ogg in Elgin, they will collect from Aberdeenshire.

I've had no dealings with DM but a lot of people on here give him a good rep.
Another option is Dunecht 4x4 in dunecht. They gave me a nice new range rover sport to play with, what a beast! 43mpg average too.

Warranty/Servicing
Guys, in your opinions, is it essential to have LR do the servicing whilst vehicle is still under warranty? Book is a bit vague.......
