As the title says, who is responsible?

I’ve read a lot of negativity about JLR approach to customers and read a lot of reasons why but I wonder who or what is responsible for it. Obviously money is the main reason but is that because JLR are close to a financial crisis or because the company owners want to take as much as they can before it goes under. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

I suppose it starts at the top............ Herr Dr Speth. If he says “ improve things “ then all the minions below him will do their utmost to improve BUT I don’t think anyone at JLR is worried about customer relations, the attitude is that they sell to the dealerships and customer relations is a problem of the dealerships to fix as they sell the cars. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Its the same as Mercedes.. they have given most if not all of their car sales/after sales to LHS. They want to design and manufacture, and don't want to handle the gripes of actually selling them and dealing with the aftersales.. It seems most manufacturers will go the same way.

It’seems different here which is surprising as customer service can be poor.

The LR dealer was fantastic, shame about the car. My wife has a 3 year old A Class, the service from the dealer is fantastic, they come and collect her car, leave a loan car with us and bring it back serviced, although sometimes they do it while she waits. BMW wise, this is my 4th in the last 6 years, 3 from the same dealer. Again, the service has always been excellent. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6
