P38a Owner Recommended Garages

Location: Australia
State/County/Region: ACT
Name of Garage: Canberra Motor Works
Phone Number: +61 2 6241 8777
Contact Name: Ray Spence
Full Address: 38 Hoskins St, Mitchell, ACT
Web Link: don't hink they have one
Facilities: Testbook
Any other comments: Independent. Charges nearly as much as a LR dealer but knows what he's doing because he has the experience rather than throwing an apprentice at the job with a workshop manual. Have had my last 2 RR P38A's serviced by Ray and his team. There is always a bunch of LR's in his workshop and he drives a RR himself. I have not found anyone in Canberra that I would trust to work on the motor of my P38A more than Ray. They can usually arrange a loan vehicle (unfortunately not a LR) while yours is being serviced.

State/County/Region: Portland
Name of Garage: Green Oval
Phone Number: 503-232-0049
Contact Name: Doug
Full Address: SE 9th and Morrison
Web Link:
Facilities: Land Rover Specialists
Any other comments: They are incredibly knowledgeable, and extremely fair. I had my rig die on the side of the road, doug rescued me with a new alternator which he put in on the side of the road. I had them change my brakes, and they rebuilt the entire brake system at cost because the abs accumulator went out at the same time. I recently had them fix a leak in my air suspension $27 and fix my AC clutch $40. Doug is the owner, he answers the phone, deals with customers, and is the head mechanic, so there is no confusion about anything. Has to be the best shop in town.

If anyone is in my area, I'd be glad to *help* *YOU* fix your problems. I will not fix it for you though. I have the tools, you bring the beer and the willingness to get dirty /desire to learn to turn a wrench.
