Why Regular Servicing for Jaguars & Land Rovers is Non-Negotiable (Especially After the Maintenance Plan Ends)

When you drive a Jaguar or Land Rover, you're not just getting from A to B — you're experiencing refined engineering, power, and sophistication. But to keep your vehicle running the way it was built to, regular servicing becomes critical, especially once the original manufacturer’s maintenance plan expires.

At LandyShack, we specialize in maintaining these high-performance vehicles beyond the dealership years. Here’s why sticking to a consistent service schedule is not just smart — it’s essential.

🚘 1. These Vehicles Are Built Differently

Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles come with advanced features and complex systems that require specialist knowledge and equipment. From adaptive suspensions to high-tech infotainment and emissions systems, these aren’t vehicles for a general mechanic with a spanner.

Skipping regular services or trusting an inexperienced workshop can lead to costly, avoidable breakdowns.

🔧 2. Preventative Maintenance = Fewer Major Repairs

One of the biggest myths we hear? “If there’s no warning light, the car’s fine.”

The reality? Modern Jaguars and Land Rovers can mask developing issues for thousands of kilometres. Regular inspections allow our technicians to identify wear and tear before it becomes a major (and expensive) problem — things like:

• Timing chain tensioners starting to stretch

• Oil leaks forming in common failure points

• Suspension bushings starting to crack

• Early signs of transmission faults

💸 3. Protect Your Resale Value

A full, up-to-date service history from a reputable specialist is one of the most valuable assets when selling or trading in your Jaguar or Land Rover. It shows that the vehicle was properly maintained and gives future buyers peace of mind.

Servicing at LandyShack means you'll have clear records, honest assessments, and expert input — all contributing to stronger long-term value.

🧰 4. LandyShack Understands Your Vehicle

Unlike generic workshops, we don’t just work on Jaguars and Land Rovers — we understand them.

Owner Peter Geldenhys brings nearly three decades of hands-on experience with Land Rover and Jaguar models, from the classics to the latest editions. We know the quirks, the patterns of wear, and the solutions that work. When your maintenance plan ends, that’s exactly when you need brand-specific insight the most.

✅ The LandyShack Difference

When you bring your vehicle to us for regular servicing, you can expect:

• Genuine or OEM parts

• Fully synthetic, manufacturer-approved oils

• Digital diagnostic reports

• Detailed inspections and honest advice

• Friendly, personalised service every time

📅 When Should You Service?

We recommend a full service every 10,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first — even after the maintenance plan ends. If your vehicle is older or sees frequent off-road or city stop-start driving, more frequent checks may be advised.
