Tara Fox

Service Advisor

Award Nominee,

Tara always goes out of her way to provide the very best in client care, but on this occasion she looked after Mr & Mrs Warrior with the utmost care and attention as she could see how very upset they were with their brand new Range Rover Velar that developed issues within a few days of purchase. There was also a delay with Mr & Mrs Warrior’s replacement vehicle but Tara took it upon herself to make contact on a regular basis just to see how things were and also give the couple peace of mind to ask for her personally instead of going through the central booking team as the car had to come back on a few occasions to be fixed with back ordered parts. She even helped out when Mr & Mrs Warrior were going on holiday to Whitby finding a replacement courtesy vehicle again instilling trust and faith with Mr & Mrs Warrior. The commendation below speaks for itself, well done Tara.

Hi Samantha We’ve only just picked up the defender today but already it feels great.Yes we’d like to show some special appreciation to Tara for guiding us through all the problems we’ve had over the last 10 months with the velar. Tara was always there at the end of the phone, she kept us regularly updated on any progress with all the issues we have experienced with the velar with a smile on her face.Even when the sales team sold our loan car two hours prior to us going off to our caravan in Whitby, whilst ours was in for repair, she rang saying she had a problem but could sort it and did within 2 hours. Whenever we went to the dealership she always made a point of coming to see us and believe it or not kept our spirits up when we were getting to the end of our tether with all the problems. She’s always courteous and polite, a credit to your team. Nathan and Jeff have also been very helpful and I’d like also to mention Dan who inherited a very sticky situation from Billie and dealt with everything very professionally, never got flustered and always smiled. Between them they have put our faith back in the Land Rover brand. Hope this sums up how we feel now.Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too.ThanksJanet Warrior

Service Advisor, Technician & Driver

Award Nominee,

We have a team of three for November’s Making It Special for Annika, Raf and Richard who all went above and beyond for a client, due to an issue caused by a Service download not loading on to the vehicle in a timely manner.

Mr Brannigan car came in on a C&D for service and recall, the recall download went wrong and we had to get a TA on it to recover it.

Customer was really upset and Annika was struggling with him as he was due to make a long trip the following morning.

The TA came back at 4:45 with how to recover it, our Workshop Manager asked Raf the Technician to help even though it was not his job to start with and he stayed and finished it at 6pm. Annika was going to then take it back to Rugby but we arranged for Richard Wood to come in for 7.00am and meet Annika for the keys etc who then got it back to Rugby for 7:45am.
