Crossy Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I'm seriously contemplating a LandRover Discovery. Any Disco owners in BKK / Pathum Thani with recommendations for service centres?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teej Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I'm seriously contemplating a LandRover Discovery.Any Disco owners in BKK / Pathum Thani with recommendations for service centres?? Hey Crossy, I take my Range Rover to Thai Ultimate on Vipawadee Rangsit road. It's more expensive than the independent shops for sure, but the staff is nice and for a car like the Land Rovers, i'd rather not have a mechanic use my car as their learning tool... that said, I've some friends that use independent dealers around the Petchburi area I think, and they don't have complaints (cept when the car breaks down, which is a normal occurence with these cars). I'd stay away from the old Discoverys mate. Dunno what you're looking at, but the older ones are more of a headache than anything. Lot's of people will tell you to stay away from LR and buy a run-o-the-mill Vigo or something, but I say go for it -- but you gotta really love Land Rovers like a man loves his bitchy wife... cuz that's how they behave... Still, I love mine! P.S. I think there is another LR service center over on the east side of town near Bang Na but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippybangkok Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Call them "Thai Ultimate Ripoff". Had a ABS problem once on the Range, and they quoted Bath 240,000 to repair (replace it ) . Went to chidlom garage and they opened it up and repaired for 30k. Had a pickup truck loose a wheel and bounce into my windscreen ( nearly killing my staff ). Insurance co. sent it to Thai U. Ripoff, and 2 months later they were still freaking around. When I got the "finished" car back it was a terrible job they had done, sent it back with 7 substantial defects ( and a few minor i.e. forgot to put wiper on ). On soi 17 or 15 suk, there is a Merc place which bought over Chidlom garage business. They will doa good job for 1/5th of the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billd766 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I have seen a "Land Rover" probably Range Rover dealers on the Bang Na - Trat lower road going towards the new airport on the frontage road around km 6 but I have no idea what they are like as I have a Ford Ranger pickup. The only reason I know it is there is because I pass it on the way to my wifes family house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
