Back again to Moorland Rovers

Back again to Moorland Rovers, third time. This time to have the chassis treated. Also a bit more body work. As usual, I was treated with courtesy and professionalism. I left my 2005 Defender XS in their capable hands and a few days later, I got a call to say it was ready. I went to collect it from Paul and was stunned with the result. The chassis treatment has added years to it and the paint finish on the bodywork is incredible. My son who was with me when I collected it new 20 years ago, saw it today and said it looks better now than from new. Thanks to all concerned, I can't recommend you enough.

The best 4X4 centre by far

The best 4X4 centre by far, the professional service and attention to detail is second to none. The rebuild on my TDI 200 has change my life adding vibrant colour with good old fashioned reliability. A rare attribute these days. Its's difficult getting used to driving an eye-catching celebrity! Thank you Brad and all the team looking forward to our next project and a future in Land Rover customer care and satisfaction.

Moorland Rovers, Great in so many ways

We started using Moorland Rovers around 3 months ago. During that time they have replaced suspension struts on my wifes Freelander, replaced the head gasket on my Discovery 2 TD5 including skim and pressure test plus some other jobs, and we are just booking my Discovery 4 in for a new alternator and inspection for an oil leak. All of the guys at Moorland are friendly, a great bunch, knowledgeable on all Landrover Models from old to new and they go out of their way to help and support you. Nothing is too big or small a job for them to take on, or even just give advice on. Happy to recommend and endorse as well as continue to use for our three Landrovers.

Well organised and professional

Brad runs a very organised and professional workshop, work was assessed for my Defender 90 in a timely manner and booked in. Throughout the work I was kept updated & the workshop even replaced a copper brake line that they spotted and opted to replace as they were concerned it was unsafe. I will be booking in again later in the year for some additional work. Good effort guys keep it up. Nice to feel your pride & joy is in the right hands.

Five stars to Brad and the team at…

Five stars to Brad and the team at Moorland Rovers! Brad found a Defender 90 300tdi for me, rebuilt it from a hard top to soft top, new canvas, roll cage, military half doors, bigger tyres, partial repaint. Looks and drives absolutely top notch, could not be more happy with it. Thanks Brad, and team. Rod
