Just behind the Vineta Shell on Vrede Ave the owner Nick Theron runs one of the best landy workshops we have come across. Great expertise, fast help, total landy fans. If you need anything for your landy go here!
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
I am very happy with the service and work done. They were flexible for a quick appointment. I recommend this place!
Report Check-InCan NOT recommend this place! Went here with our 2.4 Puma. They changed our radiator, spilled the coolants all over the engine bay and tried to charge 3x (!) the real price of a new radiator. Just go and buy all the spare parts you’ll need from LR Parts! Some guys of the staff are extremely rude, too. Tries to charge you extra for absolutely everything. They also ”fixed” the striker of our bonnet — and we needed to go back for three times(!!!) because it was not properly fixed, and we were forced to say that we go to the police if they don’t do their job of which they’ve been paid for. And after a month the welding was cracking again! Very poor quality workmanship, rude ”we know it all and you know nothing”-attituded staff (some of them) and expensive prices. Go somewhere else, it’ll be easier for you.
Nico (the owner) does know about Land Rovers but rarely does any of the jobs himself and some of the staff are clearly clueless. Don’t let your car out of your sight. EDIT: Nico did repair (and re-repaired) our bonnet when his fix didn’t hold. So our sincere thanks for that!
Report Check-InAfter trying 5 places for a problem with our Immobilizer, Nico solved out problem within 10minutes and didnt even charge us because he said it was nothing. The place we went to before quoted us around 2,5k for doing the same thing.
He really knew what to do because he has a lot of knowledge about Landrovers and therefore knew the best way to fix the problem. Very nice guy and staff, can only recommend!
Report Check-InAs things go I am back at Landy Service the radiator has gone and it needed replacing!
as the needed spareparts were on stock at lr spares swakopmund the job was done within two hours!
The boys know what they are doing!
After loosing my brake power on the rear brakes I needed assitance, I was loosing brakeliquid out of the rear of the system or rather the pipe had broken off. They helped me straight away and the fitting was repaired within an hour. I was so happy!
Grabbie the head mechanic realy knows what hes doing!
Nico is a Landy lover and has very good mechanics. We have been there in 2020 and 2021 for service and some minor repairs. Everything worked well.
Report Check-InMixed feelings; great Landy enthousiasts, but limited amount of parts available and they're quite expensive. I had a noisy-squeeling / messed-up u-joint and asked a couple of times if it needed replacement - they just filled it up with grease. Two days later that exact ujoint failed and the whole rear propshaft broke from the car, in the middle of the desert.
I would get the Landy parts at the Landy shop in Swakopmund and ask the owner there where to fix your car, instead of fixing it up here.
Report Check-Inreally helpful and professional. Landy experts, worth coming for a check!
Report Check-InThese guys obviously know their land rovers but unfortunately made a cock up on the rebuild of my lt77 gearbox. I needed all the bearings replaced and they had to source some parts from SA which took a few days. When the parts came in apparently a couple parts were wrong so they had to express more in. Long story short they used the wrong bearings and I had to get the box re-rebuilt a month later in Zambia at Foleys in Livingstone. When Foleys opened the box up they found a mixture of bearing types and brands and all were degrading very fast.
If you need serious work done here just make sure they are using the right parts as their work does not come cheap.
