Just thought I'd share my experience Park Royal,
It all started mid October 2016, I had a tpms fault come up on the dash and some other niggling bits like the drivers wiper/smear and the fact that I'm sure the engine sounds like it's knocking a little bit, so popped down to Park Royal (I tend not to ring as never get a call back) saw one of the service guys to be told 6 week wait ( due to courtesy car required ), ok I said so booked it in. A long 6 weeks later went down to drop it off etc to be told sorry sir we have no record of your booking 😡 After some choice words told to come back in a week, dropped it off a week later, told all done so picked up, 'reset it sir', nothing done about other issues so would have to come back 🙄 Didn't even last 24hrs before tpms fault came up again, why do they do that? Why just reset and not think WHY? so back in again, said I needed something with a boot as swmbo is in a wheelchair, given a disco sport (not my first choice, but better than walking ) so after me having to make contact time after time to find out what's going on it was a case of "changed this sir, waiting for LR on what to do next as that didn't work" this went on for the next SIX weeks taking things into January, as the service was due mid Jan I asked if that could be done while it's in "no problem sir". Told service was done and can now pick it up, this was around the 20 something ish of Jan, great I thought until a few days later I thought hang on I've got no paperwork saying what was done / changed during fault finding plus nothing about the service, the app and the dash says the service was done but I thought you usually get something saying things like tyre depth, pad wear etc and what was done on the service ? So the calls / e-mails begin to be told sorry been extremely busy will get it to you in the next couple of days, then get told so and so has left, leave it with me I'll sort it out. Well it's now near the end of MAY and I'm still waiting, how long does it take to find it and press print 🙄, to be fair about a month ago the "service manager" said he'll sort it out for me and get it to me asap lol.
Beginning to think something isn't right about this, maybe the dealership is trying to con LR saying this and that was done but wasn't or something like that ? All I know is I'm STILL WAITING, 2015 HSE SDV6 Scotia Grey, ebony / lunar, colour coded, deployable steps, TV, sliding pano and a few other bits. Now gone

I notice they are no longer listed as site sponsors but still forum member so I suggest adding the dealership's name to the subject line. Might grab attention and help towards a resolution.

I too have had bad experiences there recently but didn't mention anything on the forum until now, although when it was positive in the past, I jumped on the forum to say it. I did however provide full details when Land Rover solicited feedback and hope my comments help improve things. I also expressed my frustration about the experience to the dealership and was expecting to be contacted, if only just to see how I was getting on, but that hasn't happened Without going into too much detail, I have had issues with trying to contact people for status and with work that was not carried out (as suspected) despite specifically querying before going to collect

Seems some of the aftersales people who cared a bit more about customers have moved on. Not suggesting a direct link between certain employees leaving and service standards falling but just an observation which may or may not be related.

Doesn't feel great considering I have referred people to that dealership both privately via the forum and off the forum too over the past few years. One particular person was having a hard time and I suggested approaching a contact there. He did that, it worked, he went on to buy cars from them and quite understandably became a preferred/VIP customer very quickly. And here I am, wishing for (but not receiving) just normal service, nothing extraordinary, that any customer should expect

Sad to read the above posts as I too have received great sales and after sales service at this dealership since 2007. I used to delay services for when I was in London to have them done here too although in the last few years the service time and my appointments in London have not coincided. I do know that the service manager there was moved internally within the Lookers Group but that was 2-3 years ago and I always dealt with the same person in the service reception every time I booked a car in, maybe she has also moved on? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Thanks for the tip fkarim, let's see if it gets noticed although I very much doubt it.
To be fair to James when I've Pm'd him he has always responded, I think a few have left as Elaine who I was dealing with didn't get back to me so queried it to be told she'd left, so her boss, David I think said he'd sort it out, then found out he'd left as well, maybe I should contact again to see if the service manager has also gone 🙄, although for the life of me why no one thinks "ok, they have gone, so who were they dealing with" 2015 HSE SDV6 Scotia Grey, ebony / lunar, colour coded, deployable steps, TV, sliding pano and a few other bits.

David was the service manager, unless there was more than one David.

I have also always had a response from James or even if no direct response, he gets things moving in the background. My problem is, I don't want to escalate to the business head every single time. I'm no VIP and don't expect to be treated like one - just want the level of support and service that any ordinary customer should receive. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

The David I was dealing with was the general service manager before he left, the one I'm dealing with now and the one I think you are referring to is the Divisional Head of Aftersales. Either way they seem to all think if they don't respond it'll go away 🙄

Just to update, still no answer from emails, so decided to go down again to see what's happening, surprise surprise "he was in this morning sir but has now gone home for the afternoon 🙄 ". On the plus side the young girl who then came out to find out what I wanted, who was very apologetic to my plight disappeared back into the office to reappear 10 mins later with the elusive paperwork, now how hard was that! Only thing I did notice, was that the date on the service sheet said late April but I was told on the system it does say it was done January (just in case of any issues), I did check on topix and it did confirm January.
So looks like west London Land Rover is still the same old shower, so come service next time plus any future purchase looks like I'll have to look elsewhere IF I decide to stay with the brand that is, shame really as since the issues were sorted out, touch wood, I've regained confidence in my car and is a joy to drive / be in.
If it stays like it, might have to call this one a keeper  2015 HSE SDV6 Scotia Grey, ebony / lunar, colour coded, deployable steps, TV, sliding pano and a few other bits. Now gone
