I live in Parker, AZ.... small town. I plan on having to travel to find a reliable LR mechanic. My question is, where in AZ is a safe place to take a Discovery?

 

I have one here in Chandler although I don't know if I will go back to him, he is $90/hour and a "rover master tech". I told him I had death wobble and what I thought was the problem, he fixed what he thought was the problem, still had the death wobble and now I am about to fix what I thought was the problem myself!

anyways there is supposed to be a pretty good European shop in Phoenix somewhere, I really can't remember the shop but they seem to have all the LR equipment and a good hourly rate, maybe look on craigslist that's where I found them. other than that all I know of is the stealership in Scottsdale.

Those of you who have replaced your head gasket$, how much did that run you?

 

I have not done it to my truck, but the parts are under $500 and it takes a long weekend to DIY.

To have it done $1500 at a indie shop, $3000 at the dealer.

 

You are the best mechanic...honestly...if you put your mind to it..you can do 85-90% of the jobs yourself...get a good manual, follow to the tee and do it....if your not mechanically inclined...sadly this is the wrong vehicle for you...it takes maintaince to the tee...if you cant DIY your will spend bucko bucks...people hear the brand land rover and they want to charge you bucks

 

you are the best mechanic because nobody will treat your vehicle the way you will, and yes believe it or not these trucks are actually really easy to work on.
