Recommended Servicing In/Around Doncaster, South Yorkshire? |
|
My Disco is due a service, is there any independents around Doncaster that could be recommended by other forum members?
Thanks in advance.

I get about a bit but home for me is Doncaster and with two modern Land Rovers to run, I have tried most of the local indie outfits - sorry to say I cannot recommend one of them
In general, I have found the indies either don't understand new Landies or are just lacking in ability/service/care. The only exception is Green Oval at Leeds - they only did a bit of work but it went well.
As a result, I usually have Iain (TenForCash) come to my house for more complicated stuff and I do the basics myself.

I also used Green Oval and they did a good job. Changed a rear upper arm and a couple of other things at front.
They did manage to knacker one of the boots on the arm, but I'm sure they hadn't noticed and I did have a boat to catch.....
Polite, friendly, helpful and reasonably priced. Will have to be a thumbs up from me. Faultmate MSV2 MultiVehicle

I'm from Donny and can't reccomend an indie, I take mine to either Duckworths or Ripon land rover.
In both cases I've found them cheaper than an indie and I also get the reassurance of main dealer back up !
When I ring I always mention the D3 forum and ask for the allegiance pricing
Last time I had a quote from Ripon it was the best by far, Only dead fish go with the Flow !

Due to there not being any recommendations close ish to me, I've spoken to my German independent that has looked after all of my Mercedes over the last three years and they're going to carry out the work.
It would be almost impossible to find a garage that I trust as much as these lads, so I'll stick with what I know.
Thanks for the help and suggestions though.
