Stafford Land Rover - any good? |
|
I am thinking of taking my D3 to Stafford Land Rover for a service and some minor repair work.
Have any of you used them before? Any good / bad experiences?
I assume that even by walking through the door i will be charges a small fortune but I have just bought my D3 and want to get it serviced and checked over.
Any thoughts?

Well, just spoken with Stafford Land Rover. They will charge me £97 per half hour to diagnose any faults BEFORE providing me with a quote for the parts and labour
I asked if the diagnostic charge would come out of the final bill if i decided to go ahead with the repairs, "NO!" was the the simple one word answer.
I guess i shouldn't be surprised.
I think i'll go elsewhere....
