Hi JLR Belfast,In response to this question.I purchased my new IPace in February. I was led to believe that 160 checks have been made to ensure “peace of mind” as this is how the vehicle I purchased was advertised by Jaguar.However barely a few weeks in and two separate faults appear. When I contact Jaguar, they send an external AA engineer who has no idea how to resolve either of the issues.I am then driven over to JLR at Charles Hurst where I purchased the car, when I am immediately asked to hand over the keys of my car and flippantly informed that I won’t have the car back in my possession for 4 to 6 weeks.I am then driven back to my home by the external AA mechanic. I then spend 24 hours trying to get a hire car sorted as JLR at Charles Hurst didn’t bother to try or ask if I needed assistance. This resulted in me being 3 hours late into work as I work in Bangor. I then had to pay for a taxi home that evening.I called into Charles Hurst again on April11th to ask for an update. I am told that “Conor” will ring me back on Monday morning 13th. I receive the call on Monday morning with the same immediate message that I won’t have my car back for 4 to 6 weeks. I inform Conor that I spent £1,000 on a home charger to be installed at my home for the IPace which I can’t use as the car I have been given to use is petrol and I’ve been told that electric vehicles are not available, so during a fuel crisis I am now also out of pocket to at least £50 extra per week on fuel costs. I was informed that I would get a call back to see if my car could be prioritised but never received an update.The answer therefore to this e mail is that Charles Hurst JLR’ customer service has been terrible.As a result of all of the above, I have now instructed my solicitor to review the terms and conditions of the sale of the IPace.regards,Conor Connolly

Our car brakedown nearly 2 weeks ago. We bought the car from Charles hurst landrover belfast. We have extended warranty. But, they are not helping ti fixbthe problem. They said, all full up they can't take the car after 8weeks. Then, they should help us to recover the car and move to donnely. We are contacting them from last week even had a chat with service manager. Nibody helping us. It is really bad. Paid off the car, paying the tax and extended warranty. And they can't help us. It is very bad experience from charles hurst. They should give us release car too. Now we are renting the car for daily basis some other place .landrover needs to help us. It is not our problem, they can't fix the car

My experience was not good.I booked my car in for a recall in February and was given a date 2nd April 2026.On date of appointment I waited for over an hour, for the service manger to tell me that they couldn’t access the update (recall) as it was now unavailable. At time of booking a questioned the appointment date being after 31st March 2026, to be told ‘it’s ok, you’ve booked in before the deadline date’.I was contacted twice before the appointment to make sure I was attending. I’d of thought that if there was a problem with the update I’d of been told then.I now have a car needing an update and no idea how it’ll be done or by whom.RegardsPhilipSent from my iPhone

I’ve had problems with the retractable steps on the car for the last month or so and have almost caught my foot in them – sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t, so they catch you by surprise.I called a couple of weeks ago to book it in only to be told early June was the earliest they could look at it. I voiced my concern at that and it was then suggested I could call the breakdown service – they said it didn’t fall to them…. So I just accepted I’d have to wait albeit its rubbish service.However, this morning one of my kids trapped her foot in the step getting out of the car and really hurt herself. I called your place back this morning to really push this to be seen as a priority as it’s a safety issue and got the same message - they don’t have capacity to look at it until 5 June, so sorry about that!I’m not one to get riled easily, but I am really shocked at the lack of service regarding this issue.I’m waiting for Donnellys in Dungannon to call me back to see if they can do anything sooner – but I would like this complete lack of service noted – it’s not something I’d expect when spending so much not just on the car itself but this was an extra we paid for as well

Dear Sir/Madam,I have been a customer of Charles Hurst/Lookers for 25 years, buying many new Landrovers during that time I recently phoned the service department of the Boucher Road dealership on 13th March 2026 seeking some advice about a battery issue I was having with my Landrover Discovery Sport PGZ 7575.I spoke with Nathan Sproat whose only offer of help was to book an appointment for me to bring my car to the garage in June, or telling me to phone Landrover roadside assistance.I was very disappointed in the solutions that Nathan offered. He appeared to have no understanding of the issues involved and was not interested in trying to understand.I was also very concerned that the nearest appointment offered was 3 months away.I then phoned Donnellys of Dungannon (even though I had bought the car and serviced the car with Hursts/Lookers) I was dealt with very efficiently by reception and someone from the service department then returned my call within 30 minutes. He listened to the problems I was having took time to ask questions, understood the situation and offered several solutions that I could try.The second suggestion worked and has solved the problem.I have a very good relationship with both James McIntyre in sales and Stephen Surgenor who have both always treated me exceptionally well, but I feel very let down by Nathan Sproat in the service department.I thought I should inform you so that this doesn’t happen againThanksRichard Gregg07885907875

Dear Sir/Madam,I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding my recent experience with your Belfast Land Rover service centre.I left my vehicle with you on Thursday for a steering rack recall and was advised the work would take approximately 6/24 hours. However, due to the bank holiday weekend, the dealership has now closed until Wednesday, leaving me without my vehicle for a significantly longer period than originally stated.I am particularly concerned about the following:- No clear communication regarding the extended delay- The need for me to make multiple calls to obtain updates- No courtesy car being offered, despite the extended downtime and inconvenienceThis situation has caused considerable disruption, and I do not feel the level of service provided reflects the standards expected of Jaguar Land Rover.I would appreciate:1. A clear update on when my vehicle will be ready & time to collect.2. An explanation for the lack of communicationI look forward to your prompt response.Yours faithfully,SAMANTHA HARPERBN63 MFV

Hi there,I'd like to make a complaint please.My Evoque (KE13 EYL) - was subject to a recall, and I had booked an appointment for last year (see below details). This included a courtesy car (as it is a two day job, we live 90mins away from the service center, and I have a 6year old kid to drop off and pick up from school). This was no problem at the time, and was included in the booking.This booking was cancelled the day before the appointment - because the service center could not get the part. They told me they would be in contact to rebook the appointment. I was never contacted, and then called up today to ask what was happening. I was told they could rebook the appointment - however they are not able to offer a courtesy car this time.This is completely unacceptable. I cannot put this car in for 2 days (for a manufacturer's fault) without another vehicle. I am not willing to pay to hire a car for this period for something that is a manufacturer recall.What do you suggest I do?Many thanksGreg Smyth
