Essex - Looking for garage recommendations for a service

Hi all, I've just bit the bullet and am now the proud owner of a beautiful 55 plate TDV6 S D3. I'm now looking for recommendations for a garage in Essex to put it in for it's first service. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!

If you're in N Essex I'd recommend Broadfields at Gt Dunmow. Excellent.

2nd Broadfields. They are getting mine ready for me to collect

I am in France and they have been great over the phone in explaining what I should get done. Paul (I think) has put himself out to do extra work which wasn't on the list.

I'm also an Essex boy.....
I'll probably use Beadles whilst I'm under the Land Rover warranty, but does anyone have a view of DS automotive in Southend?

I thought I would see how Broadfields are getting on with mine, so sent them an email half an hour ago. Thought I would let them know that I have recommended them on here. Can't hurt Very Happy



Expected a response in the morning but I got a response almost straight away.
Note this is French time on email. (+1hr)

I hope that I am allowed to post this Very Happy Very Happy

Thanks for all the info folks, now I just need to work out how to get back from Gt. Dunmow without a car now. Smile

Looks like they are taking care of you there D&G Very Happy Funny you mention that you're in France, I've recently moved back to the uk after living over there for 10 years. In fact my reason for wanting a service is due to a trip back coming up in August. Cant wait to get back over there in the new disco! 8)

Let them know you had a recommendation from the forum. They should remember me (Graham from France), have caused him a bit of stress and a late night. Very Happy

Booked in at Broadfields for a couple of weeks time. Not sure who I spoke to as I contacted them through Facebook but they offered me a lift to the station after I drop the car off, which was a nice touch. I can't wait to find out a bit more about the condition of my "new toy" but don't mind admitting that I'm crapping myself too! Question Question Question Confused Question Question Question
