It’s not just their rates, it’s their customer service and lack of knowledge too. I used to drive an hour to use them - very sad 😢. James is at Keith Gott’s I believe.

I rung up for my service in January, asked to speak to James and was told he had left. Knew it wouldn’t be long before it went downhill.

Leaves me with a dilemma of what to do now and where to go Big Cry

Yep, same issue as well.

I think James only left a few weeks ago. He sorted my compressor change and told me it was his last day and he was off to Keith Gott.

Conrico is also shutting / shut. Anyone used Wimbledon service centre??

Failing that, We are going to have to find an independent somewhere.

Keith Gott and Rovertune are a bit far for me, but maybe I have no choice now.

Interesting, I had a front wheel bearing replaced by Guava a year or so ago for about ÂŁ260. Today, a rear wheel bearing at Hunters was ÂŁ480!

To be fair, I was looked after well over the past few days with repairs etc, it’s just the costs now I can’t get over!

Also interested in alternatives, Gott is a bit far for me. Sad

For warranty stuff via WD then it wouldn't be an issue using Hunters pm but with the big belt change coming up I don't want to have to get SWMBO out working. Whistle

Was Guava, then Hunters, now Inchcape. No idea what the implications of that are but would bet it's not going to go back to the good old days. Big Cry Big Cry

Probably just even more cost.

Thinking of trying Moore Automotive in Chertsey who are LR specialists!

I'm looking at alternatives oop norf. If not staying wishing LR stealer network then possibly Disco_Mikey 120 miles away in Dundee, otherwise Pentland 35 miles away in Elgin or Parks (ex Macrae & Dick) in Inverness, 32 miles away.

Got a customer feedback form today, so let me think, told me the TPMS doesn’t read the tyre pressure, couldn’t tell me if the tow bar electrics had been enabled properly I had to bring my own trailer........
