Recommended garage in Kent

Hi Guys,
I am looking for recommendations as to a good garage to resolve a fault on my 58plate diesel auto.
Basically the fuel consumption has plumited recently and I have a low level rumble from the back end. Nothing changed in last few months, car only gets light use - no towing or off roading.
Brakes are all fine, fuel filter changed, bottle of injector cleaner in tank with Optimax fuel all to no inprovement.
Happy to drive a reasonable distance, am based in central Kent.

Rcv are highly recommended. My friends have there fl2 maintained by them from new and my neighbour takes there disco to them. But if you want to use a dealer harwoods of tonbridge will price match as close as they can to rcv, normally a couple of pounds more. So i always get a price from rcv then ask harwoods to match it.

Bought 2 LR's from Harwoods Tonbridge and had them serviced there. They are always very polite, professional and I have never had any problems with them, in fact I would say that they have gone beyond normally expected service levels at time. They get a big thumbs up from me. Thumbs Up

I use Harwoods in Tonbridge as I bought my D4 there. I have also used RCV and find them 1st class but Harwoods are easier to access for me. mole

Agreed, I have been dealing with HArwoods for years, they have always gone above and beyond, even matching RCV's prices

Thumbs Up for RCV from me. Dropped car off and was given a lift back,as I didn't need a car for the day.They have 6 courtesy cars available.
Got picked up when car was ready,lights coded.
Car was cleaned and washed.
Good comms during the day,as they rang and advised that the coding had been done and xenons working perfectly
