Hello,I would like this email to be forwarded on to management as i am really not happy with this current situation.I have taken this car to my own local garage after not receiving great help when initially presenting this problem to you. As after being told it is my own issue to get the car over to you, and no details could be given as to what the approved used warranty could cover. I was left with little choice but to go to my own garage.During a journey home from Gatwick airport to Bedford the car was making some clunking noises when accelerating, and around 10 minutes away from my home it said to top up the oil by 1 litre. I topped up the oil and used the manual dipstick method to check the oil level and it was still showing nothing. After my garage have looked at the car they have concluded, there is no oil leak issues to be found. To find out the level of oil they emptied it out which only 1.5 litres came out and have refilled it fully and replaced the oil filter. They have said it is evident the engine is using / burning more oil than it should be and considering the little time and Milage i have done in this car, this was already an issue when the car was sold to me but not disclosed. I am furious as being told it has had a 10 point inspection check, and a full up to date service history with last the service only having just been done and promoting it as a used approved car. As clearly this is not the case and i have spent my hard money on a car that is faulty.I purchase this car on 20/08/2025, its recorded Milage was 26512 at purchase and is currently on 28624 miles. So having owned this car for only 8 months and only doing just over 2K miles this is not something that should have happened, and during the time of owning the car nothing has present on the dashboard to alert of any issues or low level warnings.At this point i want to know what you are going to offer to do with this situation, as i am completely devastated i have purchased a car with my hard earned money that is not up to standard, as sold to me. And i am not happy keeping it when clearly the history of the car is very unknown as you have sold it to me with this issue when claiming it has been checked and approved. And this issue would not have happed during the short time i have owned it.Regards Jessica

I've been trying to get an update on the progress of my service today and have been unable to get in contact with anyone since 13:30. After 30 minutes of calling I was able to leave a message for my service agent - Harry - at 13:30 but have heard nothing since, there is no answer on the service telephone number (I've called from 17:15 to 18:00) and do not know whether my vehicle is ready for pick up or not. It's all a bit odd.

Placed a deposit on a car on 12/4/26, salesman was (James Rhodes-Evans) advised that he could not supply the car to me, as it had been sold by another branch, which was fine.However, despite repeated emails, the holding deposit has not been returned.I asked the salesman for the HOB email address in my last email dated 24/4/26, but had no response.

Good afternoonIs there someone I can speak to about my car OE18 KHU?It has been in with lookers Land Rover Buckinghamshire multiple times this year. Its last visit ended on Friday 01st May when we collected the car.Since it’s been home we’ve noticed marks on the front grill and bonnet airbag. We’ve tried to clean it with degreaser to no effect.As the service has been so poor the 5 times it’s been in with you, we did not want to raise the problem due to losing the car to you again. As such, we have ordered a new grill to replace (at cost of £35). But cannot replace the bonnet section due to the connection with the airbag.The car did not arrive with you in this state so something must have happened whilst it’s been in with you. The direction of the pattern of the marks, especially on the bonnet indicate something has been sprayed on the vehicle. This is incredibly frustrating as it is further depreciating the value of our vehicle due to no fault of our own.My last communications to both the service email and to Brian have been ignored. As such if I don’t receive communication by end of play on Tuesday 05th May I will be progressing this further.Look forward to someone contacting me soon,ThanksSophie

We purchased a brand new range rover about 1 year ago from Lookers range rover in Bucks. after a few weeks of driving we noticed a loud squeeking noise when we using the brakes and took the car into the dealer to be looked at and repaired.We have since taken the car back into the dealer on at least 5-6 different occasions for the same issue and the squeeking still remains.This morning because of a failure to fix or diagnose the issue i pushed them to do more. instead of just cleaning the brakes to look at a further fix such as changing the brake pads.The answer was that the squeeking is just an issue on some land rovers, and there is nothing they can do to fix it, and we would just have to live with it.I dont think that this was an acceptable response to the issue. Land Rover and Lookers are selling a premium, very high end precision product. And as customers we dont expect to spend £115k on a car and have to live with screeching brakes.They said the only option was for me to call land rover directly and push for them to allow us to replace the brakes. so i called the number they provided and was told that because the vehicle is still in warranty i should not have been told to call, and the issue needs to be just raised internally within the dealer for the repair required. so was given incorrect advice.Our feeling as owners of the car, is that Lookers in general are looking to do the minimal amount of after car required to address the issue and are not willing to go the extra mile even after 6 visits for the same issue to address it properlyI gave the feedback from land rover to the team at lookers and they took my details and said they would try and make a case with land rover to request a brake change. but im not fully confident because of our experience so far that they are really committed to this idea.I am writing to raise this issue, to make a complaint and ask for your support in applying pressure to the team there to get the issue sorted in a proper way.As said i dont believe it is acceptable for them to just say that this is an issue which happens with some cars, we cant do anything, you have to just live with it. is an acceptable answer.

Vehicle booked in for Friday 17th April. Was there at 0830.Heard nothing, so on Wednesday 22nd April I called to find out what was going on ...... only to be told my car hadn't even been looked at yet!Was then told would be ready Tuesday 28th / Wednesday 29th.When I asked if the insurance on my loan car would be extended, was told it would and I'd be called on Friday 24th for this to be confirmed.Guess what? No call.Was called Monday 27th and told car ready for collection.Sat in dealership for ages waiting to get my car back.When I finally got into it, dashboard settings completely - and unnecessarily - changed.Looker always a disappointment; have filled in countless of your "how did we do" surveys explaining the poor service I've received.Always answer the "are you happy for us to contact you?" question with a "yes" - never contacted.If I had the option to go elsewhere I would in a heartbeat.Shame I can't.

My 2021 Evoque broke down and was recovered by Land Rover assist on the Thursday before the Easter weekend, with the recovery driver confirming the car was being taken directly to Lookers Aylesbury.The following Tuesday afternoon, having heard nothing from Lookers, I called them only to be told they didn't have the car. I then had to spend an afternoon ringing both Land Rover assist (who immediately confirmed the car had been dropped off at 1pm on the Thursday and had photo evidence) and Lookers, who were adamant they didn't have the car and it was likely stored in a compound over the Easter weekend.Having confirmed the car had been delivered to them, Lookers response was that they would need to get a manager to review the cameras to see if the car had arrived and they would let me know. I called back 24 hours later (Wednesday afternoon) to be told that the videos were with the manager but that they hadn't yet been reviewed. The man on the phone then decided to take a walk outside to see if he could see my car, which he found in less than 2 minutes. His name was Lee and he gave this apologetic spiel, saying he would be my main point of contact and my car would be prioritised and taken into the workshop the next day - I never heard from him again!I called twice on the Friday afternoon for an update - but nobody answered the phone and there was no option to leave a message - and again on the Saturday, but could only speak with the Saturday reception staff who weren't able to give me an update and was just told someone would call me the following week.The first communication I received from Lookers was a text on Monday 13th April saying that the status of my car was 'has arrived' and that I can track the status by following the link in the text - which just took me to a 'Book Your MOT' page.I also received an email the same time saying my car was booked in for 1st May (3 weeks time). I called Lookers again to query the date in the email, to be told it was an automated date and to ignore the email.The first call & update I received from Lookers was from Harry on Wednesday 15th April. He said he couldn't discuss the reason or solution to why the car had broken down but quoted me £4,100 to repair other issues they had apparently picked up on a vehicle inspection. He also mentioned a possible need for a payment plan, as the reason for the breakdown (which he couldn't discuss) would be expensive.I explained to Harry that I wouldn't be spending any more money with Lookers given the above and that he was the first person to call me after my car had been with them for 2 weeks. He said he would get somebody to call me with an update.A few hours later I received a call from Shad who contradicted what Harry had said earlier and confirmed that the cost of the repair for the breakdown and £1,800 of the additional items would be repaired under warranty. However, the parts were on back order and they were going to have a system change the next day, so he warned me there may be a delay but at that time couldn't provide any timescales.The next morning Shad called back to confirm the parts had arrived and the car would be ready to collect that afternoon!On collection, once again the complimentary wash was very poor and the inside of my car had been sprayed with dirt from the outside (which has happened on a previous occasion as well when it went in for a recall). They shouldn't offer this service if they can't provide it to meet customer expectations.So whilst the eventual outcome was positive, the lack of communication, losing my car at the beginning and the whole process taking over 2 weeks means I will be avoiding Lookers at all costs. For a luxury brand, the customer service and communication is abysmal.
