Having to maintain your Land Rover and take it in for repairs or scheduled maintenance can be stressful—both for your personal health and on your wallet. Take some of that stress away by choosing a local, independent Land Rover repair shop for your vehicle. Here are a few reasons why you should choose an independent Land Rover repair center to service your Land Rover.

Enhanced Technical Training: Independent Land Rover repair facilities have just as much knowledge and experience working on specific car brands as the dealer, in fact, many independent Land Rover repair facilities are owned and operated by previous dealer employees. They, along with their staff, stay up-to-date with the latest training and certifications.

Develop Personal Relationships: Independent Land Rover repair shops serve the neighborhood in which you live in. It is easier to build a personal relationship with your Land Rover mechanic at an independent shop since you tend to meet and communicate directly with the owner and/or mechanic (not service advisor) who will be working on your vehicle, each time. They become familiar with you and your vehicle. One-on-one relationships such as these foster trust, comfort and confidence between you and the mechanic, and in doing so, tends to save you from unnecessary repairs and expenses.

Low Price Labor, High Quality Repairs: Dealer hourly rates are a killer, and are higher than that of an independent mom-n-pop shop because of overhead. Smaller independent facilities have less overhead costs, which means they will charge you a lot less, while using the same state-of-the-art equipment and technical resources.

Warranties & Guarantees: Many motorists believe that they have to take their vehicle to the dealer in order to get certain repairs done that are covered by the manufacturer warranty, which is not the case. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects against this and states that vehicle manufacturers can’t tell the consumer where to have scheduled maintenance and repair work done that is under warranty. Smaller shops also offer warranties on repairs and maintenance that they perform, because they are confident in their work and want you to have peace of mind.

Convenient to You: Located around the corner in your neighborhood, independent Land Rover repair shops are just a short drive away, and there’s sure to be one that fits your vehicle’s needs. Also, more and more indy shops are providing free shuttle services and reduced rental car rates if you need to leave your vehicle for an afternoon or a few days.

Next time you’re in need of scheduled maintenance or any kind of Land Rover repair, take a ride on over to your convenient neighborhood independent Land Rover repair shop and experience superior customer satisfaction, lower prices and quality workmanship.

Find a local, independent Land Rover repair shop with Land Rover mechanics that have dealer-level expertise at a fraction of the expense.
