Great business. Have looked after my Defender as well as Range Rovers and always do a top job as well as dealing with the warranty companies on my behalf - and those guys can be tricky. Fair labour rates and always use quality parts. Definitely recommend them for all brands, not just Land Rover.

Powell's of Ripon is a brilliant garage that have always provided the best possible service to all of the cars that I have owned. They are the only garage that I truly trust and know that they have your best interests at heart. Most other garages would try to rip you off at any opportunity but that isn't the case with Powells
