Hi,

Just wanted to say they have treated me very well. I bought a V8S last week and there was a squeak from the exhaust, they had a go at lubricating it but it still squeaked, so they put a brand new exhaust on it no quibble sorted..

Highly recommended

My Godfather has bought quite a few cars through them and is always happy with the service.

"free" .... Mine is under the Jaguar manufuctures warranty. So I should expect good service, however from past experience with other marques it isn't always as simple as that.

Harwoods would't have paid for anything in my case Jaguar would have footed the bill. When i have had problems before (not with Jaguar) there has been a lot of discussions between parties before the issue was resolved, but with Jaguar and Harwoods it was all fixed very quickly.

Hopefully moving forward this will continue.

They managed to order my LHD XF for me when no one else wanted to know, when I went to collect the car there were loads of bits missing which had been ordered so I had to reject the car (there had been a mess-up at the factory), the sort of good news was that the correct car turned up 3 days later which meant a second trip over to the UK but Harwoods paid all the expenses for both trips.

I have had a brilliant service from Harwoods for around 15 years. I have bought 3 Jaguars from them and now my DB9. Big Andy is a legend (Responsible for all 4 purchases).

The real gem is Martin, the Service Manager. A true gent.

As a Jaguar Indie it is important for us to have a reliable parts supplier. We have tried a couple over the years but service from the guys in Chichester is great. In fact they have gone out of their way a couple of times to ensure we were supplied with a part we desperately needed.

Best bit is the parts guys have never treated me like a dim blonde (even if I am one) the way some parts suppliers have.

F Type was in Harwoods today. Service was excellent. After dealing with a few Ferrari main dealers over the years - they'd put them to shame in terms of service levels at attention to detail
