I have been learning and learning here and have started using the lifts and tools at DIYTexas - DIY Texas | Do It Yourself Automotive Garage – Austin, TX - to do most of my repairs and maintenance. Nice guys, nice shop.

When I know exactly what needs to be done and I know it's over my head and requires LR expertise/custom tools I still use Land Rover Austin dealership, with a close eye on the who the service advisor is and a hand ready on the phone to call Jack Taylor, the long-time service manager there, if I detect any shenanigans. Hey, you get a "free" loaner there.
You are in Austin. Awesome. We should meet up some time. I have few problems may be we can help each other. I have done a lot of work on my own and have good stock of tools at home. Let me know if you want to meet up for coffee or drinks. I am in SW Austin and work up north.

Thanks

If you are looking for a good shop that specializes in Land Rover, then the only place I can suggest from personal experience is British4x4 here in San Antonio. The only time I let them touch my car was to turn off the SLS when I switched to springs because I like to save the money and do the work myself, but I have been in there many times to order parts and they seem to know there stuff. They always seem to have plenty of rovers in the parking lot (like 40-50 waiting to be worked on) so I'm not sure what there turn over time is like. Here's there website: Land Rover San Antonio| Land Rover Repair, Service, and Parts | San Antonio,TX
Thanks. I will send you a private massage

I'm in Round Rock and still looking for a good mechanic. Any suggestions for an Austin mechanic would be helpful.

Can't get the SES light to go off.

I am still looking for a good mechanic. I have been doing a lot of my work on my own. If you can make a trip to this way I can help you scan the Truck. I have a Scanner that can detect most of the Land Rover issues.

Let me IM you my contact
