Gas tank recall: DC area dealer recommendations? - Land Rovers Only

JohnK · 05-26-2006, 06:22 AM

I need to take a 95 RRC in for the gas tank recall (mine leaks). Which dealer(s) in the Washington DC area would you recommend for the recall? Any to avoid? I live in Greenbelt MD. Annapolis LR is the most convenient; but, I have no experience with them. I could go as far as Baltimore or the Virginia suburbs. I have heard of some dealers replacing other parts such as the fuel pump as part of the recall while other dealers do not.

haven't taken my '95 in yet for the recall, but have used Alexandria service for my DII for warranty claims. i asked them about the recall and they said should take couple of hours, but nothing else is included, just tank. their service seems pretty good. nothing astonishing. but again, all my useage has been with land rover extended warranty.

never had service done at the tysons dealership, but i always get a sleazy feeling when i go into the parts counter and around the lot and showroom. they do have new ownership though, so maybe it has gotten better.

The Chantilly location is really nice... the service manager there was always really cool when I visited.

I've always had good dealings w/ LR Alexandria. Haven't heard too many negatives on the board either....

I may be telling you something you already know, but... Make sure your tank is nearly empty and expect to pay for a full tank when you pick it up. I had someone tell me straight up. I hate surprises like that. Now I'm ready for my recall fix on Monday. Thanks Land Rover Buckhead!
