Moorland Rovers, Great in so many ways

We started using Moorland Rovers around 3 months ago.
During that time they have replaced suspension struts on my wifes Freelander, replaced the head gasket on my Discovery 2 TD5 including skim and pressure test plus some other jobs, and we are just booking my Discovery 4 in for a new alternator and inspection for an oil leak.
All of the guys at Moorland are friendly, a great bunch, knowledgeable on all Landrover Models from old to new and they go out of their way to help and support you.
Nothing is too big or small a job for them to take on, or even just give advice on.
Happy to recommend and endorse as well as continue to use for our three Landrovers.

Well organised and professional

Brad runs a very organised and professional workshop, work was assessed for my Defender 90 in a timely manner and booked in. Throughout the work I was kept updated & the workshop even replaced a copper brake line that they spotted and opted to replace as they were concerned it was unsafe. I will be booking in again later in the year for some additional work. Good effort guys keep it up. Nice to feel your pride & joy is in the right hands.

Five stars to Brad and the team at Moorland Rovers!

Brad found a Defender 90 300tdi for me, rebuilt it from a hard top to soft top, new canvas, roll cage, military half doors, bigger tyres, partial repaint.
Looks and drives absolutely top notch, could not be more happy with it.

Thanks Brad, and team.

Excellent professional service

I took my car to Moorland Rovers to be serviced and was really delighted with the outcome. The staff were all both friendly and professional.I was well informed about what needed doing and it was carried out very effectively in a relatively short space of time. I can definitely recommend this Garage without any reservations and will certainly be going back.

I recently took my van to Moorland Rovers for its service and MOT and was really impressed from start to finish. The team took care of everything I asked for and made the whole process straightforward and stress-free.

They were professional, reliable, and clearly take pride in their work. It’s great to find a garage you can genuinely trust. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and professional service.

Safe Hands

My 20 year old Defender XS was showing signs of ageing. Rust starting on the bulkhead and both rear wings in need of a respray. Various electric issues and a dead aircon system. The reception I received was friendly, professional and reassuring.
When I went to collect it, I was stunned with the result! The respray was perfectly blended in with the original paintwork, all the electrics were sorted and the aircon worked brilliantly.
If your Landy needs any work done, I can definitely recommend Moorland Rovers. So much so, it's booked in next week for a bit more work.

Professional standards and high work ethic

I took my modified thirty one year old Land Rover 110 to Moorland Rovers due to faulty clutch.
Andy and Kieran (mechanics) looked after my Rover as if it was one of their own, they went above and beyond what I expected.
Paul (workshop manager) liaised with other companies on my behalf and kept me updated as the work was being carried out
My Rover now runs sweeter than it has for years.
I throughly recommend this garage to anyone that wants professional work conducted to a high standard.

First Class Experience!

First Class Experience!
I found these guys through an advert in a local magazine and took a chance. Cancelled a service booking at a main JLR dealership and I could not have been happier I did. They are super helpful, did a brilliant job on my Defender and came in well under the cost of the same service with the dealership, all without the hassle and attitude!
Will definitely use them going forward!

Discovery Sport service

Found Moorland Rovers when looking for a service on my discovery sport. Booked really easily and completed the work perfectly. They’re clearly very passionate about their work and it shows. Would absolutely recommend them and I will be going back when my car needs some TLC.
