Indie vs Main Dealer

So currently thinking about stepping out of the LR main dealer for servicing, they seem to know very little and i had to chase to understand even what service my car needed!! Contacted a local well know SE Indie, they knew exactly what the car needed gave me a price and can book me in a weeks time rather than a 5 yes 5 week wait at the main dealer..
As my car is under warranty, i have been assured that all will be good, can anyone confirm that? Any folks had warranty work done but not had the main dealer services?

Thanks Dan, been told they do that plus to the LR spec sheets, and can also upload the service history to the LR official site

Thanks all, then I am all good, tbh I would use the local dealer if they gave me any sense of confidence that they know what they are doing, i am sure they have some good techs but they must be hidden Laughing Laughing

I think the only thing to consider would be any warranty work that may need doing as not sure if the indie could do that or not Question "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" ----is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" -----------is how far you take the fence with you.

Yes that would work, just might be 2 visits as opposed to 1 Thumbs Up "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.

"HORSEPOWER" ----is how fast you hit the fence.

Forever, I see you are in Oxted. Which main dealer did you use? I’ve used Harwoods (formerly Testers) in Edenbridge for the best part of 20 years. They have never let me down, always been straight with me and been good on price. I’d use them ahead of an indy all day long.
