Thread: Servicing in Sydney

No reason not to use Coopers. Although I haven't used them for a few years they were always very good and I've heard nothing that would change that opinion.

I have a preference for servicing at a dealer for the first few years and I have been using Alto for many years now. I get very good service and I'd have no hesitation in recommending them. What I would say though is that the key to getting good service lies in building a relationship. These people are human - treat them like people and that's how they'll treat you.

Cheers,
Jon

I have been going to Cooper's for years, they are very good. They are a short walk from St Peters train station if you need to use public transport while they attend to your vehicle. Stuart and Ward are top blokes.

Glenn.

Bruce Davis in Annangrove?

I tend to do dealer whilst in warranty as well, legally you don't have to, but I think it makes it a bit easier, specially since Land Rover Australia can be very painful over warranty.

Just around the corner from Alto is Cremorne prestige, I have been using them since my warranty ran out and I have been very happy, not the cheapest but very good cork and good service. Greg the boss is current D4 owner and previous D3 owner and enthusiast and they know the cars.

Thanks all for the input, much appreciated. I have rung a coouple of places now and am a bit confused as to whether a service or health check is what's up next. Am getting differing statements. Will investigate further though.

Tell me more?

I have used Graeme Cooper for the last 29 years, however after having a warranty hiccup with the D4, I'll be using my dealer, Purnell Motors Blakehurst, until it is out of warranty.

Then I'll be returning to GCA. (I still use GCA for my other out of warranty LR product issues)

Thanks, definitely a theme around if in-warranty go to dealer etc.

If the MY13 RRS is the same as the Disco then services are every 26k or 12 months. Health checks are recommended every 13k or 6 months. Sounds like you are probably due for a service.

I am happy to pay for the health check as 12 months is too long for my Disco to go between services. I also get my oiled changed at the same time. Whether or not this is required is arguable but I prefer to err on the side of caution as mine doesn't have the easiest life.

Or not. Depends on who you talk to. I have always found them to be very good and have a dealer who will always help. Again a big part of this is building a relationship with a good dealer.
