Does anyone know of or where I can find info on a good service mechanic in the Atlanta, GA area? I went to the Land Rover dealership today and they wanted my right arm and part of my kids college tuition for a key! I know they will be brutal when it comes to any service. We are planning on doing our own maintenance but I need a back up for in case we need anything major.
Any suggestions?

 

I have never used them but I think a lot of local guys use this shop

www.cartalk.com, find the "mechanix files" link, enter your zip code and recommended shops will come up.
As for the key, if all you need is the key and NOT the remote then any place that sells keys can make you one, I think the Toyota keys are the same as the Rover key.
If you also need the remote you are screwed, you must go to the dealer.
Only the dealer can program a DII keyless remote and far to many people have had problems buying the rmote on e-bay and then trying to get them programmed.
Most dealers will program the remote for free if you buy it from them, if you buy a used one then they will charge you $125 to program it.

 

Anyone had any experience with Road Brittania in Buckhead? It's a bit closer than The Shop.

I took my Disco there for a pre-purchase check (didn't know anything about coilers at that point). Never had any actual work done by them however.

I'm in the Atlanta area, so if you ever need advice or moral support for tackling something, hit me up. I can even lend a hand occasionally, though these days I can't even find time to do everything mine need.
