I live in Lincolnshire (30 min. north of the city) and was wondering if anyone knows of a good independent LR shop? Any help would be greatly appreciated | ||

Curt, try posting on the CLRC Board. I'm sure some of those folks can steer you right. http://www.elanengr.com/clrc/wwwboard/wwwboard.html | ||

That's an easy hour from Lincolnshire in good traffic....If you work in the loop might not be too bad. Jump on the el and you're there. I never got a good vibe from that place - Customers cars parked along Willow unsecured. Stripped out series trucks always blocking the entrance. And their shop looks like a bomb went off in it. I like LR Lake Bluff myself. Good service, close and they have disco loaners. I got sick of hunting down so called local LR experts and just went back to the dealer. They know the truck, do great work and have always been a very good experience. | ||

eric, you are so right. I love Knauz and I have bought many autos from their BMW and LR dealerships over the past ten years. I just can't get over $110/hr. for service. They do treat me great though. They just did $600 in repairs UNDER WARRANTY when I had 52,000 miles on my '01 disco. I think you answered my question...you get what you pay for. | ||

Curt, They're real good. You can save some money do the fluid changes yourself and sourcing the parts yourself. I mean 2k for a 30k mile was a bit much to stomach. The parts are less than a third of that. I like the fact that they know my d-90 now and give it a little extra attention. The head mechanic is the only one who works on it, and actually calls me up with questions, ect.. Next time you're wheelin, let me know... Eric | ||

I had all sorts of problems at Knauz with my lifted disco2. Try http://winnetka.fieldslandrover.com/index.asp they have been great to me with no hassels. For parts call Nathan @ Discountrovers.com Alen | ||

That's too funny. The exact opposite happened to me. I guess it is luck of the draw sometimes with service at the dealers. Both do excellent mechanical work, seems both may need some customer service work depending on the customer! |
