South-West Dealer Advice

Does anyone have any dealer reccomendations for servicing my newly aquired D3 TDV6 S?

Bought it at Stratsone in Newport - bit of a treck to go back, even if the exeperience was good, but it wasn't.

Options would include Barnstaple, Exeter, Taunton I suppose - any views or any others?

Advice appreciated

I live just north of Newport but will be doing servicing at Yeovil. Used them for fitting accessories in past. Much better "ownership experience" than Newport.

Didnt buy my car from Matford in Exeter but whenever has been serviced or repaired they have been great and very easy to get to.

I have used Taunton LR for my past three vehicles (i never bought any of them from them though). They have always been very good on servicing & warranty work.

As mentioned throughout this this always ring round for a quote from several dealers & then ask your chosen dealer to match the best price quoted. It does amaze me how such a price differential can be found between seeming ly identical dealerships?

Thumbs UpI have used Taunton Landrover for all my servicing and of course Rolling Eyes warranty work for the last 7 years and have always had a very helpful friendly service from them. We are now on our 4th vehicle supplied by them and as with the service team the sales team are very helpful and friendly. Very Happy

Hi All,

11 months on now, D3 is on 80k miles and tried the following south west dealers.

Taunton - Great for servicing and warranty work, fantastic service from Chris in Service Department and always best price quoted for servicing. Accessories are more expensive than other 2 dealers I have used, but great for servicing and warranrty. would reccomend for that.

Exeter Matford - Servicing quotes have been more than Taunton, but fitted accessories have been cheaper and a decent service.

Yeovil - Not been able to use them for servicing yet - just that little bit too far to get my car picked up etc. However, they have quoted competitively. Used for Accessories and parts which cheaper than taunton and Exeter (Thanks Nick) -even when fitted. Would defiantely reccomend if it is range for you.

I beleive these three dealers are part of the same group - yet they have indivdual pricing policies it seems, even allowing for the forum discount at Yeovil.

Cheers

Rich
