HelloI purchased a landrover defender from Charles hurst Belfast in June 2024. It was brand new and after 4 months and 2205 miles I broke down on the way to a course in Belfast and had it recovered at the road side and then was told I needed a new engine.After I received my car back at 1 year old a service was required according to the vehicle, when I rang up they said yes it needed to be serviced. So I paid around £600 for a service at 1 year old around 7000 milesNow at 2 years of age I am told again it needs another service at £711 with 13500 miles. When I purchased the car I was told it was 2 year old and or 21000 miles.When I queried this on the phone when booking in I was told I needed the first service at 1 year old as I needed a new engine! I find this disgraceful that I was even asked to pay for the first service as I presumed it would be covered under warranty like my engine!When I queried this and they started to get frustrated with me I was then told they couldn’t speak to me anymore as the jeep is in my husbands name! He phoned several times and has been told oh yes someone will phone you back tomorrow! That’s alot of tomorrows that never happened! Going on a month now!All I have asked for is the price of the first service to be taken of this service as I shouldn’t have had to pay for a service as I didn’t expect to need a new engine after that time as it ceased!After looking up online when services on new defenders are carried out it states from new 2 years or 21000 miles!So far I will not be looking to repurchase another landrover certainly not from Charles hurst in Belfast due to the constant lack of customer care and services they provide! We have another car from another dealership on the Boucher Road and their service is nothing short of exceptional in comparison!I am extremely angry and frustrated and it’s in for a service 8/6/26 and a list of faults to be fixed also (5months waiting on faults to be fixed as a year ago they hadn’t time to be fixed) i would like this sorted promptly and they told me to email this information to this addressRegistration KIG1414Thank you for your timeJulie and Malcolm Stubbs

I am writing to formally raise a serious complaint regarding a highly disappointing experience with the Range Rover showroom in Belfast concerning a recall appointment for my vehicle and a response after the complaint; neglected appointment as a result of complaint.Approximately two months ago (Feb 20)I was booked an appointment with steering Issue.Throughout this period, I received multiple confirmations and reminders via your online communication system, including messages as recently as one day before the scheduled appointment, all clearly referring to this recall.However, at the last moment—just before the appointment date—I was informed that there was no such recall associated with my vehicle and, therefore, no appointment. This sudden change, after two months of waiting and repeated confirmations, caused significant inconvenience and frustration.Had I been informed earlier that there was no recall or that the appointment could not proceed, I could have made alternative arrangements and i couldn't take out my car for 2 months from my Garage. Instead, I relied on the information provided by your team, which turned out to be inaccurate.Besides, after lodging complaint through website, I was given another compliment appointment on 25th may, there is another disappointment and waste of my time going there to drop vehicle as informed in the email. Despite of the emails, they still say there’s no appointment.I respectfully request:* A clear explanation of how this error occurred* Clarification on whether my vehicle does, in fact, require any recall work* Assurance that steps will be taken to prevent such issues from happening in the futureI trust that this matter will be taken seriously and addressed promptly. I would like to know the clear answer for all this. I look forward to your response.Jain Mathew

Good afternoonFAO Landrover Service ManagerI brought my RangeRover (Reg 10HM) in for a service to your Boucher Road site at 8.00am on Tuesday 12.05.2026 expecting to be provided with a courtesy car. This was definitely arranged when I had personally made my booking in your service reception on 12.01.2026.On Tuesday it was explained that you only had two courtesy vehicles, and when I requested Hursts to provide a taxi for me to return to my home in Bangor I was told that you only sponsored taxi journeys into Belfast city centre. Consequently I had to rearrange my day’s plans.Frankly, I was extremely disappointed by such poor customer service being offered in connection with a premium SUV!I have been a loyal Charles Hurst customer for over 38 years during which time I have purchased around ten new RangeRovers, with my present PHEV having been purchased new two years ago. So I had expected a little more consideration. I am truly disappointed.I trust you will perhaps consider ways in which you can improve the customer service experience.Kind regardsLESLIE MITCHELL2 Seacourt GardenBANGORBT20 3PF(M) 07768 641504

I am still waiting on a response to my complaint 87831538

Landrover Defender had "Electrical fault detected" message appear on 30/03/26. Vehicle was taken to Charles Hurst Landrover on 01/04/26. Having heard nothing from them for a week I got in touch and was informed the Vehicle would not be looked at for 4-6 weeks. Further enquiries led to being told it would be looked at during the week beginning 04/04/26. Looking to confirm this i contacted Charles Hurst Landrover on 05/04/26 only to be informed they would not be looking at the Vehicle for at least another 4 weeks. At no time since the breakdown have Charles Hurst contacted me, I have had to chase them each time for any scrap of information.

Dear Sir/Madam,I am writing to formally complain about the vehicle I purchased from Land Rover and the unacceptable experience I have had since buying it.This is now the second time I have purchased a car from Land Rover, and unfortunately the second time I have had to make a serious complaint regarding ongoing vehicle faults. The first time, I tried to excuse the issues because the vehicle was a 2016 model. However, this time I was specifically reassured by the salesperson that the vehicle had no previous private owner, had only been used by Land Rover as a replacement vehicle, and had low mileage. Based on this, I trusted I was purchasing a reliable vehicle from a reputable dealership.From the beginning, I only received one key for the car and was told the second key would follow. Because I was dealing with an official Land Rover dealership, I trusted this would be resolved quickly. To this day, I still do not have the second key, nor have I received any proper follow-up regarding it.The vehicle then began developing serious problems. One day it would not start at all. Initially, I thought it was related to the key. I contacted recovery services, which I paid for myself after mistakenly contacting a private company instead of Land Rover Assistance. When I contacted the sales department regarding the missing key and the vehicle issues, I did not feel my concerns were taken seriously, and no proper follow-up was made.The vehicle continued failing to start. I was later informed that something may be draining the battery, possibly a software issue. When I contacted the service department, I was told the earliest appointment available was in July. When I explained that the fault could happen again before then, I was simply told to continue calling roadside assistance.The situation became completely unacceptable on Saturday after finishing a night shift. I was looking forward to going home and spending time with my children, only to find the car would neither unlock nor start. I was left stranded for over four hours, from 8:00am until approximately 12:30pm, waiting for assistance.When I called the dealership to explain that I could not continue living like this — constantly calling roadside assistance while waiting until July for repairs — I was passed from one person to another. During this call, the salesperson disconnected the call three separate times and then blamed me for the disconnections. Only after insisting on speaking to someone else was I eventually transferred to the service manager, who then offered a replacement vehicle while my car was being repaired. However, even then, I was told they did not know how long repairs would take.By the time roadside assistance arrived, it was too late to travel to the dealership to collect the replacement vehicle. The recovery technician managed only a temporary fix and advised that the missing second key could itself be contributing to the issue.It is completely unacceptable that I purchased a vehicle from a reputable dealership, paid my deposit, continue making my monthly payments like every other customer, had the vehicle serviced in January, and yet I am still left with only one key and a vehicle that repeatedly fails to start.What upsets me most is the way I feel I have been treated throughout this situation. I cannot understand why my concerns were not taken seriously from the first report. Why was I initially told to simply keep calling roadside assistance until July instead of being offered immediate support or a replacement vehicle? Why has it taken repeated complaints and threats of escalation before any meaningful assistance was offered?The situation has now happened four separate times, including again on Sunday morning when I was preparing to go to church and the car failed to start once more, requiring another Land Rover breakdown call-out.This vehicle has caused me severe stress, anxiety, disruption to my work, and disruption to my family life within less than a year of ownership. I urge you to take this complaint seriously.At this stage, if the vehicle cannot be properly repaired and made reliable immediately, I would ask that Land Rover take the vehicle back. I have completely lost confidence in both the vehicle and the level of customer service I have received.I look forward to your urgent response.

My husband and I would like to express how impressed we were with the excellent service we have received from Diogo Santos when purchasing our land rover Evoque.His professionalism and knowledge of the car was exceptional and made buying the car a very smooth experience. The flower's were a lovely touch.

I dropped my car RGZ4940 into be repaired under extended warranty 13th of April and was told it would be ready at the end of the day. I was then told they were waiting on a part and it would be ready on the 14th. I then did not receive any communication from this point onwards and had to phone a week later to see what was going on. I was told someone would find out and give me a call back but I was never called. This has been the case several times up until now. I finally managed to get a call back on the 5th of May and told they still do not have the part and would be a while longer. I asked for a hire car as I have not had a car for nearly a month but told no cars were available. If I had known it would have been longer than a couple of days in repair I would have asked for a hire car straight away. I am still without a car and the work ongoing. What have I paid my PCP payment and service for this month? This is a totally unacceptable standard of service and would not think about buying again from Charles hurst Landrover.

▪︎Vehicle left in for diagnostics after a no start scenario at the roadside in March.▪️Vehicle returned with damage to Rear right wheel and rear driver side door 3 days later▪️was told cctv would be checked. But nobody got back to me at all about the matter.▪️Left Vehicle in for warranty work last week and was asked if the vehicle was in for warranty work or diagnostics. I informed them it was in the have the damage caused at landrover belfast fixed and the warranty work▪️Vehicle collected today from landrover with an unsatisfactory paintwork repair. Edge of door rough with sub standard paint work. Carsmetic were contracted by Belfast landrover to do the repair.▪︎Not happy with how the matter has been dealt with in general. No communication or acknowledgement by phone or email that the damage would be fixed in the first instance.▪︎ I have requested that landrover belfast collect the car from my address, leaving me a courtesy range rover and taking my car to a landrover approved body repair shop to have the sub standard repair done correctly.
