Thanks for all the input, everything everyone said was what I was thinking, I sent the response back today. Boshart said they will pick the vehicles based on age/mileage/etc.. for the testing, but, could/would not let me know what their age/mileage groups were. Hopefully they pick mine, it would be nice if something needed replacing (cats) and they paid to replace them...

Again, Thanks to all who were skeptical, like me...
You called the numbers on their website?? not the #'s in the letter? RIGHT??

I called the numbers from their website, both the Michigan number and the number from their headquarters in Ontario, California.
I also called some friends who work for Ann Arbor, MI PD, where Boshart is located in Michigan, and they know this company, and the type of work they are contracted to do.
So I'm not worried. Plus, if they take my truck, it's insured, and I can always find another one. Either that or I'll just hunt them down and kill them...

I figured, if it was legit, that that would be why Land Rover would be involved.

Default Boshart Experience... NOT GOOD!!

Ok, so I actually let them borrow my LR4 for the emissions test. They paid me $850. The test took two weeks (not one as they said initially) and my check engine light has been going off ever since. The first service visit the dealer said the gas cap was loose. The light went on again two days later so that was not it. The second visit they replace some type of pump in the emissions system. Now a few days later the light is on again. The car runs fine, but something was messed up in this emissions test and I am not too happy.

What codes are you getting? Did they give you a description of what they did to the truck?

We will see what happens.
