Differences Between Land Rover Discovery Services
Maintaining your Land Rover Discovery involves various types of service developed to keep your vehicle performing at its best throughout its life. Land Rover has outlined each type of service to ensure your car remains in safe working condition.
Knowing what each service includes is crucial to preserving your vehicle’s performance and extending its lifespan.

Introducing our Client’s Land Rover Discovery
Recently, a client visited Garden City Garage looking for a service for their Land Rover Discovery.
However, they were unsure about the specific service their vehicle required. Luckily, our highly experienced team quickly identified the required service by checking the Land Rover’s digital service records.
Since the vehicle was approaching two years old, it was due for its 24-month service, even though it hadn’t reached 21,000 miles yet.
At Garden City Garage, our experts can’t stress enough the importance of annual servicing for your Land Rover Discovery. Regular servicing catches potential problems early, ultimately saving you money by preventing more significant issues in the future.
While servicing the client’s Discovery, our team conducted a complimentary safety inspection.
These inspections are vital to ensure your vehicle is in top condition when it leaves our garage.
This inspection revealed a serious safety issue: the vehicle’s braking system was not up to standard. The front brake discs were significantly worn, posing a major safety risk. The last thing the client needed was to be driving around in an unsafe vehicle.
At Garden City Garage, your safety is our highest priority. We focus on identifying and addressing any problems that could compromise your safety on the road.
Upon discovering the brake disc issue, we immediately called the client to explain our findings and recommend a course of action. The client approved the replacement of the worn brake parts, and our experts got to work without delay.
Our experts always keep you informed and we only proceed with a fix once you’ve permitted us; you’re always in control of the situation from start to finish.
To minimise disruption to our client’s day, we provided a courtesy car free of charge, a service that local Land Rover dealerships typically offer only for an additional fee.
At Garden City Garage, we’re dedicated to delivering exceptional service, ensuring your vehicle is treated with the utmost care and professionalism. With us, you can enjoy exceptional servicing at a better-than-dealership value.

Finding a Solution to the Problem
Before proceeding with any additional work, our primary focus was to address the Land Rover Discovery’s brake issue. The vehicle’s brakes were worn down beyond the legal limit, posing a significant safety risk and exposing the client to potential fines.
We replaced the worn components with genuine Land Rover brake discs and pads to resolve this serious safety concern and ensure the highest-quality repair. At Garden City Garage, we’re dedicated to using only Land Rover or high-quality aftermarket parts to maintain your vehicle’s warranty.
After replacing the brake parts, we conducted another thorough safety inspection before returning the vehicle to the client the same day. Our rapid service turnaround distinguishes us from official Land Rover dealerships, where waiting times can extend beyond a month.
With us, you get specialist Land Rover care for better value while benefiting from convenience and a faster turnaround time. What more could you ask for?
Summary
A recent client at Garden City Garage brought their Land Rover Discovery to us for a service; however, they were unsure of the service their vehicle required. Luckily, our team consists of Land Rover specialists who are happy to help.
During the initial assessment, our team determined that the vehicle required its 24-month service, even though it had not yet reached the 21,000-mile milestone. This service is an essential part of your vehicle’s maintenance and shouldn’t be skipped.
While performing this service, our specialists conducted a complimentary safety inspection and identified a critical issue with the Discovery’s braking system. The brake discs and pads had deteriorated below the legal safety standards, rendering the vehicle unsafe to drive.
Having brake pads below the legal limit puts the client at risk of serious accidents and even fines from the police.
Upon discovering this, we promptly informed the client and our Land Rover experts immediately sourced genuine Land Rover replacement parts to address the brake issue, completing the repairs on the same day.
We even offered the client complimentary courtesy care so they could continue with their day without interruptions. The main Land Rover dealerships couldn’t offer this without additional costs.
Once the service was completed, the client left with their Land Rover Discovery, which was in full working condition and equipped with brand-new brake discs and pads.
Our client was particularly grateful for the swift turnaround, which spared them the long waits commonly associated with official Land Rover dealerships.
