Lookers Land Rover Complaint 2025, November 12th.Dear Sirs,Alas I have had enough and have been forced to make my complaints. Non of what I list is acceptable and I have been completely not only been put off the branch, but also the Land Rover as a brand.I will list my complaints, with the most recent issue first.I booked my Defender 90XS (KF15 YDY) for its annual service on October 7th at Lookers Land Rover West London in Park Royal. I bought the car from here and all servicing and MOTs have been done at this branch. I was sold a servicing plan and this was the last service included in the plan, which I was going to renew, already having enquired about the costs.I phoned the service department and booked the car in, mentioned its on a service plan. I was told that’s fine and it’s the last service included. Someone else phoned me the day beforehand to check I was coming in the next day for the service. All good. Until I turned up and was told that the service plan wouldn’t cover the service in full and that I had to pay a further £1133.54 for the full service. I was sold this service plan, as a service plan. Not a partial plan. I’ve had two service plans if I recall correctly over the ten years of ownership and not had an issue. I was then told that Lookers no longer sell that particular plan as it’s not inclusive of all the servicing necessities!This is all ridiculous and abysmal. Absolutely unacceptable. I was never told I would need to buy the service plan and pay for servicing!I have paid for a service plan and demand that the estimate list I was given with the £1133.54 is done and covered by the service plan which I paid for. I await to hear from the service department to book the car in ASAP, to have the service finished in full.During the call the night before this partial service, I inquired if I could perhaps hang around and collect the car once done. I was told as long as I arrive earlier, that could be done and I would be away in 2-3 hours. I in fact turned up earlier, was told told that would be ok. I had made delivery arrangements that afternoon for work related stuff. The service in fact took much longer. Thankfully UPS was running late, so I patiently waited longer. It got to a point that I simply had to leave to meet the courier and the staff member rushed and got my car. Unwashed and without valeting. I told him I could pop back in a couple of days and have it cleaned. He promised to get back to me to arrange this. He didn’t and I’m still waiting, over a month later. I trust the car will be cleaned when it’s serviced fully as mentioned above?I have had two occasions, on visits for servicing and MOTs, where during the washing of the car, the felt surrounds for the rear sliding windows have been damaged and on one occasion, ripped out completely! I complained of course and was accused of bringing the car in that way! I found the side view on the video Lookers provides during servicing and showed the service agent. I was told that a replacement would be ordered and fitted. On the second visit when the felt was torn off, again I complained and was told it would be sorted. I chased this up in person and was told that both felt trims were ordered to be fitted. Nothing has happened about this and again, I must demand this is done with haste.To continue painting a picture of unacceptable service, I collected my car after an MOT, in January 2023. A day or two later, I was on the M25 when heavy rain started, and when I came to use my windscreen washer fluid and there was nothing. A weak stream which wasn’t reaching the windscreen. I persevered to look through the muddy windscreen and thankfully made it off the motorway and used bottled water to clean the windscreen. I had to pull over multiple times to do this. I discovered the windscreen washer jet twin nozzle attachment was completely missing! Needless to say the next day I drove to Lookers Land Rover again to complain that this had been broken off (I guessed during washing). I was accused of bringing the car in like that! Astonishing. When I inquired if a car without windscreen washer jets would pass an MOT, I was finally believed. The other service agent however said she was sure that mine had been stolen by another customer with a Defender which had been there. The part was ordered and I was told it would take many months. Thankfully I found a brand new official part on eBay and it was fitted.A branch which had exceptional customer service, has somehow been turned into a place I dread coming to. Both as my car seems to recently almost always leave with damage and customer service which has evaporated. Truly a shame.My sister also bought a car from this branch and had all the servicing done. On a visit a few months ago to buy a new car, the experience was so exceptionally abysmal, she too has been put off the brand and since bought from a competitor.I look forward to your reply. I must demand that the service is completed (apparently fluids and parts need to be ordered in especially I was told, so kindly arrange this) ASAP and my rear sliding window felt is also replaced. If the internal system is going to take months, may I suggest someone buys the official felt strips on eBay or from another retailer, using petty cash?

Car Registration V77AAVI have been dealing with Lookers West London for almost two years and have such a terrible experience. I hope you will look into my complaints below and try to resolve them before I take it further with the Watchdog/Motor Ombudsman and even on social media and the leadership team of Lookers and JLR.Low quality of Service: I took my car for service to West London Lookers  on 15th Oct 25 and after a diagnostic test, I have been charged £300 even though that was covered by Warranty. When I was waiting for warranty repair authorisation, I was not able to get in touch with West London service even after I used to call every day at least 3 times. I have called more than 50 times but only once I managed to talk to Manager of the person who was looking after my car. I have never seen such a pathetic service. I am still trying to reach out and call so many times just to understand my repair cost and what's authorised by RAC warranty. Not able to get hold of anyone for two weeks, more than 25 calls. So please please help me out. Faulty Vehicle: The rear wheel noise of my car was there from day one when I bought this car from Lookers, I just thought it was a feature of JLR but when I showed this to my mechanic friend a year later, he said these cars should run very smoothly, there must be some problem. The diagnostic test revealed all that last month as there are problems with the rear differential and battery heat pump. I feel at least the rear differential problem has been there since day one. I would like you to look into all the diagnostics you must have performed before selling this car to me as an approved dealer. I would like to get all the copies of results of diagnostics you performed as I need this as an evidence when I raise this with the motor Ombudsman. I managed to track down the previous owner (who is my friend's friend) and in the process of getting the right evidence for this rear wheel noise problem. Once I get evidence, I will raise this with the Motor Ombudsman, JLR and other consumer watchdog, how customers are cheated by approved dealers, whom we trust blindly. Please see if you can do anything about it before I raise this to regulators and Lookers & JLR leadership team. In the meantime, please share all diagnostics you performed before selling this used car to me.Sub Standard RAC Warranty: RAC warranty is sold by Lookers at the point of sale of the car, which does not meet standards of your service or prices. This clearly mis-sold product or fraud, you should not sell something to your customer which is not upto your standards since you ask hell lot of money on top of what's covered by the RAC warranty. This is organised fraud and cheating of customers, as I trusted Lookers brand and bought it since you rep said all repair will be carried out by Lookers and claim will be handled by Lookers. But in reality this is all false, your service guys just don't care once they get their money for diagnostics and say go away. This is very contrary to what story you tell at the time of sale. So please stop selling this and offer something which will meet your standards and prices. I would raise this with watchdo to surface how RAC and Lookers together are cheating the customers.I was patient for almost two years thinking about this incident, but it looks like it is your standard business model to cause stress to customers and literally harass them. This also damages the brand. I will do what it takes to uncover this if you don't look into this and kocn on every door including regulators, watchdogs, Lookers/JLR leadership team and social media.

Dear Mr. Nathan Shaquille ,Further to your email dated 20 October 2025 , I am writing to express my continued dissatisfaction with both your response to my formal complaint and the ongoing lack of communication from your dealership. Despite multiple attempts to contact you by phone — where your team have transferred me directly to your line without answer — I have received no call back or resolution.I therefore must reiterate and clarify several unresolved matters from my original complaint and your response.________________________________________1. Overall Response and AccountabilityWhile I appreciate your acknowledgement of poor service in some areas, your response fails to provide a satisfactory resolution or demonstrate genuine accountability. You attribute several issues to your salesperson “Mo” but have not indicated whether any formal action, retraining, or internal review has taken place. The repeated reference to “gestures of goodwill” such as a fuel fill and plate making does not excuse or offset the clear breaches of customer care and professional standards I experienced.________________________________________2. Promised Items – Cap and Key BoxYou stated that both items had been “authorised” and “ordered,” yet several weeks later I have still not received them, nor any confirmation of dispatch or delivery. This delay further reflects the ongoing lack of follow-through which has characterised this experience. Please confirm the exact dispatch date for these items, or provide a firm collection/delivery date in writing within 5 working days.________________________________________3. InControl App / VIN IssueYou previously advised that the vehicle needed to be brought to your service department for diagnosis. However, you have not acknowledged my prior communications stating that I have already made a 100-mile round trip twice. I therefore request you honour your written offer to arrange collection and return of the vehicle at your expense, at a mutually convenient time. Please provide available dates for this.________________________________________4. Vehicle History / Misfiring IssueYour response that the dealership “wouldn’t have been aware” of the prior fault is concerning. The vehicle’s prior breakdown and diagnostic record are part of the Land Rover database, and therefore should have been identified during the Approved Used preparation checks you reference. Selling a vehicle with a known mechanical issue, later confirmed by Land Rover Assistance, without disclosing this to the buyer, raises serious ethical and consumer protection concerns.I request a written record of the vehicle’s full pre-sale inspection and preparation report, including any diagnostic logs relating to the previous misfire and the rectification work allegedly carried out.________________________________________5. Next Steps and EscalationTo date, this matter has not been handled with the standard of care expected of a Land Rover Approved dealership. I am now requesting:1. Written confirmation and evidence of action taken regarding the poor conduct and service received.2. Proof of dispatch or delivery of the promised Range Rover cap and correct key box.3. Confirmation of vehicle collection arrangements for the InControl/VIN issue.4. A copy of the vehicle’s pre-sale inspection and repair documentation.5. A formal goodwill gesture to recognise the ongoing inconvenience, distress, and loss of trust caused.If I do not receive a satisfactory written response within 7 days, I will have no alternative but to escalate this matter to Lookers Group Head Office, Jaguar Land Rover UK, and if necessary, the Motor Ombudsman for formal investigation.I trust you will now treat this matter with the seriousness and professionalism it deserves.RegardsB S Landa

Good afternoon Mr Landa,Thank you for bringing this to my attention, as I am very sorry for the lack of service you deserved as I felt like myself and your family has built a good report.1. Initial Appointment and Sales Experience• Despite having a pre-booked appointment with your salesperson Mohammed, we were kept waiting for 45 minutes with no explanation or apology.• Mohammed showed minimal interest during our viewing and spent less than a minute with us before attending to another customer, leaving us to find assistance elsewhere.• It was only when we were ready to proceed with the purchase that he became attentive—an approach that felt transactional and disrespectful.Yes, I agree to the above that you shouldn’t of been waiting for that long especially if you had an appointment booked, but I believe Mo had a Handover or an appointment prior to your meeting beforehand , he should have at least had the courtesy to apology or even explained why he was delayed. I did acknowledge you and your family and spent some time running the features in the interim of while waiting for Mo.This I would need to pick up with him with regards to his customer service.. Negotiation and Managerial Oversight• My son and I attempted to negotiate a small reduction in price, which you, as the Sales Manager, appeared open to. However, after speaking to Mohammed, this offer was withdrawn without any communication from you thereafter.• It felt as though Mohammed dictated the outcome and your authority was overridden, which was both confusing and unprofessional.Yes I was open to this, however after looking at the whole deal I was unable to do anything on the vehicle , the vehicle was making a loss already for selling the vehicle at the advertised price.But, you have failed to mention that we have done a number of good gesture for yourself as I couldn’t take anything of the vehicle such as , Full Tank, Private Number Plates to be made, Machine polish vehicle – all these has a cost element behind the scene.3. Vehicle Collection Experience• On the day of collection, we again faced delays. Mohammed once more prioritised other customers and made us wait 30 minutes before briefly escorting us for an ‘unveiling’—which was nothing more than opening a shutter and walking off without any explanation or support.• No introduction to the vehicle’s features, no handover presentation—nothing that reflected the premium nature of the brand or dealership.Again, this is something Mo will need to work on his Time Manamgent skills, as this is not the standards for a Handover, if you would like a second Handover please do advise and I can arrange this with someone else to go through the key information with yourself.4. Promised Items Not Delivered• A branded Range Rover cap and correct key box were promised. We received neither.• Instead, we were handed a Defender key box with no intention of replacing it and told the cap “had nothing to do with me” by Mohammed, who again showed a complete lack of professionalism and accountability.• Despite assurances from the team that these items would be sent out, weeks have passed without any update.Vehicle App Activation and VIN Issues• The Land Rover Remote app could not be activated due to VIN issues. Despite contacting both yourself and Mohammed, I was told it was due to a “cyber issue” and to wait 2–3 weeks—something I now know, from speaking to another dealership, is simply not true.After two weeks, I received no further response. I consider this an unacceptable lack of follow-up for an issue that your dealership is responsible for resolvingI have authorised for the Range Rover Cap , again this was a gesture of goodwill on top of many things we have already done for you. You sent an email regarding the Incotrol which I assisted with then given you a further updated email sent on 30.09.2025 with no correlation of response stating that the vehicle will need to come into our Service Department to get a diagnose reset . I also stated that these were on order and booked against the vehicle , so you can collect this the same time when the vehicle is in.Vehicle Breakdown and Concerning Discovery• On 8th October, the vehicle failed to start. Land Rover Assistance attended and diagnosed a flat battery with no clear cause.• More alarmingly, the attending engineer informed me he had previously been called to this very vehicle a few months ago due to misfiring—something I was never informed about prior to purchase.• Had I known this, I would have reconsidered the purchase entirely. Withholding this information is, in my view, ethically questionable and possibly a breach of duty of care.The Cause of a flat battery could be a result to several different things ,Despite the previous History on this vehicle , which we wouldn’t of been aware of any previous history faults from the owner – This is why we have an approved scheme to check all of our used vehicles and before selling the vehicle that it goes into the workshop and diagnose any occurring or previous faults with the vehicles , hence why my preparation bill on this vehicle was so High as we have managed to fix the Misfiring issues and was able to retail. It is not the Sales Executive job to disclaimer to inform anything like this if they are unaware of the problems, again it defeats the object of having an approved scheme of checking these things before the car is Sold , which it has been resolved.As mentioned in my previous email , I have ordered you the Key box and Cap already and was wating for a reply…With regards to the Incontrol as advised again that the Vehicle will need to come on site – if you don’t want to bring the vehicle back yourself no problem, I can arrange a collection and delivery only.I look forwards to your reply ,

I bought this Range Rover on 27th September 2025. The money was paid in full in cash on the 30th September, as I was asked to do so by the sales agent Ali Duvan. When I called for the first time on 24th September, Ali stated that the car was ready and I could drive it away if I paid in cash. It was evident from his statement that the vehicle had all the checks and was ready to be sold.Then, after the car was paid for, I was told that something was missing and that a part had been ordered and might take a few days to arrive. Then the following week I was told the car would be moved to West London Dealership on the 10th October as Battersea unit was closing down. I was told I shouldn't be waiting long for delivery, and the delay was due to JLR's shutdown following a cyber attack. I was never told that the branch was closing down when I purchased the car.The branch Manager of West London called me on Monday, 13th October 2025, in the morning and told me he would allocate a salesperson to assist with my sale, and the person would be in touch with me once done. After this initial call, all that I have had is poor customer service as listed below1) After the initial call from the Branch Manager on 13th, no one called me, hence I had to call to chase up on 16th October. Mohammed (Mo) from the Sales team answered my call and agreed to take on and help with the sale. Initially, he did not know what was happening; he even told me that I had not settled the payment. Clearly, the Manager had not allocated the salesperson as promised when he called on the 13th October.2) Mo then called me again on the 17th and asked for a sales invoice, which I sent by email. He confirmed the receipt and said he and his manager are taking a personal interest in getting the part from JLR. Did not hear from him or anyone at all for a few days3) Since I had not heard from anyone, I called to chase up on the 29th of October, and I was told Mo was on holiday. Then I asked to speak to the Manager, the call handler said Shack, who is the used car sales manager, was off that day, and if I could ring the next day, I could speak to him4) I called on 30th October and asked to speak to Manager Shack. The call handler put me on hold for a short time and said Shack does not know anything about this car. He told me the Battersea branch was responsible for all the mismanagement, and that I would be better off speaking to Manager Rob the next day, as Rob came from the Battersea branch and would know everything above the car. At this point, I got annoyed and asked the call handler to get Rob to call me the next day (30th October).5) No one called on the 31st of October, so I called and asked for Rob. I was told he was with a client and would return my call later. At this point, I told the call handler I would file a complaint if I did not receive an update. At last, someone from the Service team called and said to me that the part had arrived, and he would be working on the car that afternoon, and it should be 3-4 hrs work6) Again, no contact from the dealership for a few more days, I called on the 5th November and asked to speak to Rob, again I was told he is busy with the customer and would get him to call me later in the day. At last, I had a call from Rob about midday. He said the part arrived the previous day and that he will make sure work on my car starts at about 2pm. He said a wrong part was ordered, hence the delay —a completely different story that was hard to believe. He promised to call me first thing the next morning (6th November) and update me.7) Never had a call from Rob as promised on the morning of 6th November. I called about noon to chase up. This time, surprisingly, Mo answered. He put me on hold to speak to Rob and said the car is currently being tested and that he will get back to me in the evening. This never happened. Again, I had to call to chase up about 4.30/5 pm. This time Mo said they had to get a Specialist Engineer from JLR, and he would be working on my car till 9-10pm at night. Again, another story. Mo promised to call me the next morning with an update (7th November)8) Mo did not call me on 7th November (today) as promised. I had to call to chase up at 12.30 pm, but was told that Mo is with a client and will call me once he is done. As I had not heard from Mo I called at 2.30 pm to chase and was again told Mo was with a client. At last, Mo called at about 3.30 pm and said the car was still being tested and he would give an update by the close of the day. Again, I did not hear from him.My issues are as stated below.1) Why was the car sold before necessary checks were made? It has been 5 weeks since the car was paid for, and I still don't have a delivery date confirmed, which is poor. The delay makes me wonder whether there may have been a bigger problem that could recur upon delivery.2) There were calls from the sales team to update, and I had to call all the time to chase up. Why should a customer keep chasing? Is this because the car was paid for, and the sales team took me for granted3) As stated above, different versions of the account were given each time I called over the last few days.4) I owned a Porsche Cayenne but had to switch to a Range Rover LWB as I wanted a bigger car. The customer service with Porsche after-sales was excellent; I never had an issue. On any standard, this is an example of deplorable customer service. If this is the experience before delivery, I am dreading the service I would receive once delivered.

Dear Jaguar Land Rover officer,I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding the vehicle service that was scheduled 2 months in advance, for 5th November 2025 and was unilaterally cancelled by your garage Jaguar Land Rover West London, the day prior.This appointment was booked months in advance. Yet on 4th November, I was informed that the service would not proceed due to an alleged payment issue. This claim is categorically false. I have attached evidence confirming that payment was arranged well ahead of time. Even if there was a failure within your internal systems to register the payment, that is not my responsibility. We are in an active two-year service agreement, and it is your contractual obligation to maintain the vehicle as scheduled.To make matters worse, I was told the next available appointment would be in December—effectively placing me at the back of the queue for an error that was entirely on your side. This is unacceptable.Following the cancellation, a call was made by my wife to the garage's service line (020 8992 2299) at 10:26 AM on 5th November to request an earlier resolution. Your representative assured us that an engineer would call back the same morning. Over 24 hours have passed, and no such call has been received.This is not an isolated incident. On previous visits, the garage failed to resolve a key fob issue, which we ultimately had to fix ourselves after researching solutions online. The consistent lack of reliability and accountability from your West London branch is deeply concerning.This level of service falls far below the standards expected from a brand like Jaguar Land Rover. I request immediate contact to resolve this matter and to arrange for the vehicle to be serviced without further delay. Going forward, I also expect to be offered alternative nearby servicing options at a more competent and responsive location.I trust this complaint will be taken seriously and addressed with the urgency it warrants.Sincerely,Regards,Steve GoodmanDetails:My wife's contact:    Yi Goodman Nee Fang, 07853241059, doris_fangyi@hotmail.comMy contact (can copy me in, or only call me when my wife's absent): 07984017398, stevejgoodman@hotmail.com,job Card Booking Number: 63983Reg: LF17LLT,Chassis: SADCA2AN7HA089477,garage: Jaguar Land Rover West London,Unit 6 Wave Trade Park,Concord Road,London,W30B,PlanMyService LLP Direct Debit identification number: 284432Reference Number: 7821448LF17LLT2292025Attaching:service booking confirmation emailthe worksheet I received the day before the scheduled service.payment evidences: notification of payee sign up & screenshot
