We knew our first service (175Kmile) on the Rover was an important one which included the serpentine belt, et.al. The Rover had been through emissions at a local auto service and they suggested European Motors. The Land Rover dealership quoted a very eye popping price. Luxury car, luxury price I guess. The quote / charge for the service at EM was more in line with reality. So we had the service done. But we had a pesky engine check light show up on a trip across the state. First blush had pointed at the DPF, diesel particulate filter. Yikes! $$$ The tech JK suggested he could dig into the problem a little and see what the problem may be. The first go at it ended with a new EGT sensor being replaced. The sensor wires had been crushed. The CEL cleared for a short while, returning next day. I went back to EM and had JK take a deeper look to figure out why the CEL returned. Finally a break in the wire in a wiring bundle to the sensor was found intermittent. A patch around the wiring bundle and NO MORE CEL! The one thing that really sets European Motors apart are the detailed analysis and work notes. JK even noted the method he used to find the broken wire. Not that the tech time was free, but it was very thorough and detailed. The final cost for all this service was not much more than the dealership quote just for the 175Kmile service. Kudos to JK, Bill, and the rest of the gang for a great experience.
Brian, Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We truly appreciate your trust in our team and your willingness to work with us as we tracked down that stubborn check engine light. Sometimes the smallest wiring issue can require the most detective work! We're especially grateful that you recognized Jacob's persistence, thorough diagnostics, and detailed documentation. Finding the actual cause of a problem, rather than simply replacing expensive parts, is something we take great pride in. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Jacob, Bill, and the entire crew. Thank you for choosing European Motor Cars and allowing us to care for your Land Rover. We look forward to keeping it running strong for many more miles! —The European Motor Cars Team
