Being my most local dealer I happened by chance to find my Range Rover there when I went to look on the LR used car site.
From the moment I spoke to my salesman Lee Blaber I could tell I was being taken seriously, something another salesman at this dealer had failed to do in the past.
Within a day I had agreed a deal with these guys, the personal service along the way has been brilliant. When they delivered the car to me they had taken care of everything. All my whims had been taken care of, the car was just how I wanted it, they sorted out the reg details, the extras, and all the little bits I asked to be done to bring it up to my standard. Not only was the car freshly serviced, 5 new tyres, new brakes and fully valeted, it also came with a decent amount of fuel. Lee even spotted things on the car that could be replaced that I hadn't.
overall I'm really pleased with the car and the service I've had from on of the last family run Landrover dealers.
Service since then has been good, I always strike up a good relationship with the service girls and almost everything was done under warranty (while it was still valid). Since warranty ran out they do wark hard to price match but not quite enough to win the business.
Lee Blaber has since moved onto their Volvo side but I'd still look a them for my next car. THE INVENTOR OF THE TERM "FULL-FAT RANGE ROVER" :

As I am currently on the look out for a decent dealership in the midlands area to purchase my next Range Rover, after a pretty awful experience at Guy Salmon Stratford which by chance was exacerbated last Friday when I was ignored in the showroom after responding to a marketing letter offering a 'valuation' and their lack of stock blah blah.
Even Trinity Motors in Hinckley seem to have turned to the dark side and put Mazda salesmen on the Land Rover desk, since when was I daft enough to think that a HSE Disco would be acceptable when I specifically asked for something comparable to a Vogue SE?
Trinity you can keep your Mazda 3 courtesy car with the frozen windows, no fuel and cracked windscreen and I am not interested anymore in the phone call i was assured i'd get on Monday and still not had on Wednesday.
I can accept that dealers may not be selling many 4x4 at the moment but when the good times return there'll be nobody to sell them too.
So on my quest for a new Rangie leaves two left to do. Sturgess in Leicester and Stratstone in Solihull.
As for Guy Salmon and Trinity, sorry but our time togther has now passed.
