Thread: looking for D3 service options in Perth

Hi there,
You could try Rovertech in Bentley, ask for Kevin Falconbridge, he is Mr Landrover if you are looking for an alternative. Tends to be very busy so you might be wise to give him some notice to make an appointment.

Ill second that , the only Indy I would trust in Perth, Rovertech .

Me three - Rover Tech would be top of my list. I've heard good things about Franzone (?) Motors north of the river too.

Cheers,

Gordon

For a modern Landy, I'd try Franzone in East Perth, I believe a couple of the owners drive D3/4: Franzone Motors - Perth Scooter Shop & Jaguar Servicing, Land Rover Servicing
I haven't been there, but I have heard good things.

Another two reputable ones are:

Lifestyle 4x4 in Morley: Lifestyle 4WD - Experience The Difference. 4WD Accessories and Servicing

Beechboro 4x4 in Malaga: http://www.beechboro4x4.com/

Although I don't know how these two go with modern Landys, but certainly worth a try.

Just remembered somewhere up north, Whyatts in Geraldton are on here and good: http://www.whyattsautomotive.com/index.php?page=index

I have used Discovery Automotive who are north of the river and while I don't doubt their knowledge, I was not impressed with the smartarse attitude of the guy who served me. The guy who runs the place, Mr Tickle (the elder) was a nice bloke who helped me out, but I'm not sure if he does the actual work.

I had a major service done there and I also asked them to check out why the D3 was pulling to the left quite hard whilst driving. The smartarse told me it was worn control arm bushes so I organised to get them replaced locally (I live well south of the river). I also got the ball joints done at the same time (D3 has 125k) and was told that the bushes that were replaced were fine.

I won't be back to them but will try Rovertech next time, going off these comments...

Rovertech is my choice of my D3 service, have used him for years, he has reconned 2 of my RR engines and recently replaced the D3 engine.

I have used Rovertech for the last 2 services and an auto transmission flush and can't fault them. Cheaper than the dealers, only replace filters as required and you walk out of there feeling like you have got what you paid for unlike the local dealers.

Being new to owning a Land Rover I have only used Lifestyle 4WD at Morley. They helped me out of a jam when I was trying to get the D3 re-registered. They seemed very knowledgeable and very helpful. Haven't had any major work done with them yet but it is in the plan.

They are usually booked out 2 or 3 weeks in advance with mostly LR so that must say something.
