Dreadful service and experience

I purchased an Approved Used Range Rover Vogue from Stratstone Land Rover Reading in November 2025.

Over the following seven months the vehicle was returned to the dealership on five occasions for various faults, including a loss of power incident which resulted in a motorway breakdown and recovery.

Following repeated repair attempts, I sought to reject the vehicle. Stratstone did not accept the rejection and the matter became protracted, involving correspondence with the dealership, Jaguar Land Rover and legal representatives over a period of several months.

Ultimately, Stratstone agreed to purchase the vehicle back from me, but only at a loss of approximately £12,000 compared with the purchase price after seven months of ownership.

My experience of the customer service throughout was extremely disappointing. Communication was often slow, responsibility appeared fragmented between departments, and I was left with little confidence that customer satisfaction or long-term reputation were priorities.

Based on my experience, I would not purchase another vehicle from Stratstone.

Addition:

Stratstone customer services should be congratulated on their efficiency at dealing with bad reviews on Trustpilot and Google, instant responses, very unlike every other area of their business!

Hi Lohan,

We are very sorry to hear about your experience following the purchase of your Approved Used Range Rover Vogue from JLR Reading.

We appreciate the frustration with the repeated issues you encountered with the vehicle, particularly the motorway breakdown, and the inconvenience this caused over an extended period. We also regret that the handling of your concerns, including communication and the coordination between teams, did not meet your expectations.

We understand how frustrating and time-consuming the situation must have been, especially as it progressed to involve multiple parties before a resolution was reached. While we are pleased that a final outcome was agreed, we fully acknowledge your dissatisfaction with the process.

Thank you again for your feedback—we are genuinely sorry that your experience has led to a loss of confidence in us.

I cannot rate my experience highly enough

Well after 5 days and 220 miles my brand new 80k defender starts knocking during braking, not a problem I think as Stratstone will sort it out. How wrong I was, phone Land Rover assist I was told, so I do his and get through to the AA. this is because Land Rover assist only work Monday to Friday 9-5. Have been left high and dry by Stratstone Reading. I have rejected the vehicle and will look to recoup the rest of my costs through the courts. As for the Land Rover brand, don’t bother they really are a crock of shite, an 80k motor that lasts for 220 miles????

The worst customer service

I purchased a new defender and it was the worst experience I have ever had purchasing a car, then a week after the purchase we found out that the car had not been registered to us and was not taxed.
The head of business will not contact me, I have filled out 3 complaint forms, been on live chat since the 7th of May and nobody will make contact with me.

Worst dealership in the country.

Purchased a used car on 10th Jan. Can handed over with known faults. Broken down twice since then and the last time it broke was was 10th April meaning Stratstone Reading have sat on the car for 8 weeks. Shameful experience, got to be the lowest performing dealership in the country.

Range Rover was recalled- exceptional service

Range Rover was recalled and we only have one car, however I was able to work from one of the private booths, so minimal disruption to my day.

well organised when you get through to the right department. The pointless waste of your time American front end to phoning in is not good. the on-line booking feature is almost a criminal waste of time, in that its hard to use then someone calls you up to say its not actually connected to the real servicing diary and start again! Even the date field in the box below is in a format that ordinary British people do not recognise - I've deducted one more star!
