Spent part of the afternoon at Hunters having a winter health check, I normally stay well clear of such things but this one came with a free half day Land Rover Experience voucher, I was going to do an off road course anyway which would cost the thick end of £200 so thought it was a bargain at £70 including another job that needed doing. Gone, 2007 TD4 SE Auto Baltic blue, clear side repeaters, full sized alloy spare.

English by birth..... Yorkshire by the grace of God.

Just had my first service at Hunters Preston.
61 plate TD4 XS courtesy car waiting which they came out too and cleared the ice off the windows. My car washed n
vac'd. Everything explained thoroughly and a detailed service report left with stamped
service record. Never had that from Merc dealer.
I feel they are trying very hard, can't fault them

Hi Taz,
You must have dealt with Mercedes Blackburn like me, you have my deepest sympathy
John.

Yep, my father worked for Merc for 30 years, that shower in Blackburn take some beating, some of the tales Was a decent place until the long time family owner sold out to a corporate.

All i can say is they are by far the worst dealer of any type i have ever dealt with,thus i have taken my trade elsewhere

I agree with LRCRAZY I had a paint issue on my last disco (appears to be a common fault) the woman at Hunters said it was because I did not wash the car,funny that because it is normaly the cleanest on the street,Even landrover customer services stuck two fingers up

The only issue I've had with Hunters is that every job takes longer to complete than the original estimate, will have a loan car next time, the only reason I took the car there was to get the free LRE voucher, Yorkshiremen know how to spot a bargain.
I agree that manufacturers appear to be shooting themselves in the foot by taking the franchise away from local family businesses and giving it to useless corporate outfits, Subaru are as guilty of this as anyone. Gone, 2007 TD4 SE Auto Baltic blue, clear side repeaters, full sized alloy spare.

My experience of Hunters at Derby has been nothing short of excellent. They very quickly and efficiently dealt with a warranty issue even though the car had been purchased from their Kings Lynn dealership. When I took it in for the work I also mentioned a problem with the handbrake which, again, they dealt with quickly and efficiently the same day. 2010 HSE TD4 auto, Biscay Blue, Almond Leather, facelift front and rear, detachable towbar, front & rear mudflaps, bib spoilers, clear high level brake light, smooth rear wiper, colour coded door handles.
