United Kingdom 2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Firenze Red

It's such a shame to see a rarity disappear. A Good Land Rover Dealer!!! They were one of the first LR Dealers in the country, starting a LR Franchise in1948. They even sold the first LR to the Royal Family for use in Balmoral. Park's Group are going to have a lot to live up to. I believe they already have LR Franchises elsewhere in Scotland, anyone any experience of their Customer Service?

Hopefully the new owners won't make the dealership become the same disaster that Marshalls have created since their take over of Hammonds of Halesworth

This must make Morrison's Land Rover at Bannockburn a very rare thing in the industry as they remain a family owned single outlet dealership with Land Rover, Fiat, Seat and MG franchises, they might even still have their old Tata franchise from ages ago that sold next to no cars! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I use Parks in Ayr. In general, they are pretty good, most of the sales guys are long term, which helps. The only downside is that servicing starts off pretty expensive, so you have to ring round every dealer for prices before hitting Parks with the cheapest , which they always match.

Would agree with the above comments. I'm on my second RRS from Parks in Ayr and have had no real problems in dealing with them. Cheers
