The booking process is a shambles. I book online to the booking not being forwarded to the service centre, I instead get sent a random date and time. I call to cancel and it's rebooked. The online check in link does not work. Upon arrival I check in at the self service machine as directed. I then get a call asking me if I authorise. Surely that should be all part of the booking process and shared with the service centre? If I was unable to respond would the car just sit there and not be repaired?! This complaint does not cover total dissatisfaction with the vehicle and previous repairs since January 2026. 3rd visit in 5 months.

Enquiry was good, was booked it quick and seen too, well communicated and happy overallHowever, when a technician had seen the car I couldn’t seem to get answers from sales person such as, they told me the technician said this and that but I asked can this be fixed there was no clear answer, the answer was I don’t know and I can’t say but this is what the technician has said! Which really wasn’t helpful, it meant I was paying money but I didn’t know if my car would be fixed or not and there was a 50/50 chance! Which was not very helpful

June 2025 EML again cust stated they could leave he without a CC which took about 4 weeks, in November the cust went back to the garage and the vehicle ad been damaged in 3 different places. The cust wouldnt accept the car like that, the cust got in the car in the dealership and the EML came back on. They didnt know what the problem was and would need to be diag with Land Rover. Went ot LR in November and 2 of the dents had been fixed but not the other one. Cust refused to take the car in this condition. Locking whee nut missing, info book mising from the glove box. Cust wouldnt take the car. Cust received call a couple f days ago we will have it washed and cleaned for you for when you come and get it. Where is the book they would order one and send it out. Picked car up not washed and cleaned, got in the car and drove a couple of yards down the road and the wheel arch has fell off. Cust called no one picking up the phone parts nt available, Sam has called back it culd be LR fault and willl need to bat it back and forth to see who is going to pay for the wheel arch. Cust would like to reject the vehicle
