My Review of Hornburg Jaguar/Land Rover:
i took my LR3 into Hornburg to have it serviced and to have a sluggish problem fixed. the vehicle sat in the shop as they awaited software for the update for over a month. Mike, the service manager called me often and gave me the update to when the software would be avaiable. He had no definitive answers, as they were waiting day by day, but i appreciated being informed. They finally received the software and called to let me know my car was available. i returned the call which was rudely answered by a british girl (who put me on hold twice and then hung up on my twice before i took a "tone") They had asked me to get the car on friday, but due to work schedule i was unable to. (keep in mind they had also had my car for well over a month) I called friday and said i would return the loaner car either monday or early tuesday, which i did, and pick up my car. Upon leaving the dealership, Mike called me to let me know that they were going to have to charge me for the weekend (which they are closed) for the loaner car, and also for monday, due to me not returning the vehicle on friday. He also claimed he had left me a message indicating this, which is completely false. The only message received on friday was from a service guy named tom who let me know my car was ready. So not only are they attempting to charge me for the loaner for the one business day, they were open in not returning, they are doing it after having my vehicle for over a month, during which time i was extremely patient. My guess would be that due to the overwhelming number of problems they have with Rovers, it is their attempt to alienate as many customers as possible to be able to facilitate the number of repairs they are forced to do under warranty or recall...if you are to have work done, i would highly recommend using another service center. fortunately the santa monica Land Rover is open again...to top it off, prior to me leaving, they asked me if i would like to wait 20-25 minutes while they washed and cleaned up my car..pretty strange request if they were expecting me on friday.
