I only have experience with Road Britannia (Buckhead), but have heard good things about The Shop (Norcross) too...

thanks overover2

I'm located in Candler Park, so the Britania place may be the best. Can you elaborate on your experience ? I've learned the hard way you have to take Rovers to experienced places.

A quick drive by and you'll see just how many people trust taking their Land Rovers to these guys. I've seen some of the coolest old Land Rovers there throughout the years. Neil is who you'll want to talk to, he runs the place and seems to know just about everything Land Rover... and will talk with you and answer any questions you have. Really nice guy. It was his father that started the business back in the early 70s (I think he was from England). Anyway, they have a really great reputation. Neil saved me a ton of money/headaches after I stopped by with some cylinder misfiring, loss of power and a few other issues and recommended that we just do the ignition coils, new plugs/wires, etc... this was after going to a local Land Rover dealership that said I had a single bad plug/wire and that's all they replaced which ended up doing nothing for me other than cost me around $500 (they also did a fuel injection service). Waste of time/money. Not to mention that I had another shop that wanted to start tearing into my engine. Yes, very important to find a good Indy Land Rover shop and you have at least a couple here in Atlanta to choose from... Good luck.

Many thanks Overover02 ! Contacted Neil over his site, and am going to make an appointment today. I'll post here with results, but feeling great about it.

Thanks again for your input !

FINALLY got there - just for an oil check and check up. Cory was there and very helpful, though I did learn Neal has not been in the shop lately due to some health problems. Hope he'll be okay.

Thanks again, and I recommend them. I'll be going back.
