A new service centre dedicated to Land Rovers is now open in Ipswich. It is located on the Farthing Road Industrial Estate just off Sproughton Road, which has easy access to the A14/A12. It is called Lindacre Service Centre.
The workshop is fully equipped with all the specialist tools required to service and maintain Land Rovers to the manufacturer
Fantastic news, we can now get proper servicing for Land Rovers in Ipswich again. I was really disappointed when Hunters closed their doors with no explanation.
Really pleased that Sally and her brilliant team are back up and running. They are with out doubt the best after sales team that I have ever used. I have had some issues in the past and if it were not for Sally and her team I would have fallen out with Land Rover a long time ago. It was a real shame that Hunters went. Just wish Land Rover would sort out their service dealer status as I have work that I would like to have done on both my vehicles and do not want any one else to do it. Good dealers are hard to find ! I have had EIGHT Land Rover vehicles; if I am forced to use Lookers in Colchester I will have no choice but to switch brands.
I have had nothing but hassle with them and will NOT BE USING THEM AGAIN!!!!
Come on Land Rover get them appointed and make all your loyal customers lives easier !!!!
How can the County Town of Suffolk not have a main Land Rover dealer. Or are they only interested in the Chelsea Tractor brigade. Country folk love their ‘Landies’
With all the city boys get the big heave ho and bonus cuts I would have thought Land Rover would be after every possible sale going. Suffolk has strong agricultural community, so it would make sense to have a big presence in Ipswich. Those guys at Hunters and Lindacre before were a cracking bunch, always winning awards for customer service. Can’t wait till they get going again with the new venture on servicing.
Living in Ipswich I am delighted to hear that this new centre is opening. Will not have to travel out of town to get the old jallopy serviced. This will save me quids in fuel.
me too
I’m also pleased that we will have a local centre again but I hope their prices will be sensible. I also need to know that my warranty work will be covered
I had my vehicles serviced by these guys for the past 10 years. If they keep up the same standards and deliver on price I’ll be back like a shot.
I have started to use Lookers in Colchester.
Must say they are great. Even got some of there sales people there Alex & Kim
Good luck to you all,
Have spoke with Kim @ lookers will buy another car from him this year but will still use Lindacre for service as only in Hadleigh.
Great ! Ipswich needs a good Land Rover Service Centre. I look forward to seeing some familiar faces at the new site.
I have since had my Range Rover Sport 45,000 mile service and I can report a very friendly and efficient service from the team at Lindacre. Thanks very much and I will tell my friends !
This is grand news,felt a little bit stranded when Hunters closed.I love my freelander and i want it to be loved when being serviced.As has been said befor,this will save so many pennies in fuel,and im looking forward to meetin the team.see you all soon xxx
i wish every success to Greg and everyone at the new Lindacre if you maintain the service of the old one (just a little cheaper)you’ll be on to a winner
The first thing i got from landrover recently was a letter to renew my warranty,what a bloody cheek i thought and phoned them to say what they could do with their warranty, basically the same as their customer loyalty.Better phone them back now ALL THE BEST AT LINDACRE see u soon ANDY
I have already used them for a service and some spare parts.
Excellent service team and efficient response to parts requests.
Good value for money compared with other Landrover dealers in the region.
Wishing the Team all the best. What a challenge to take on in this day and age!
I contacted Inchcape after looking at their website, but received no reply. I will be paying a visit to the new centre as soon as possible.
Good news that Lindacre is back in Ipswich. I always had a good experience at Norwich Road, although I felt Hunters were not quite as good as Lindacre. Hope to bring my Defender along to the new Service Centre in the near future. Good luck to all the team.
Hi, congratulations on your new venture. Ipswich should be able to support a Land Rover Service Centre. We gave up on Hunter Land Rover because their service charges were horrendous and they would never tell us what the hourly rate was. Fortunately for us we have found a wonderful garage at Stradbroke, namely, Mark Peacock who specializes in Land Rover servicing and he is very honest and if there is ever a problem he strives to put it right and is not happy until the customer is. The hourly rate is always on the invoice. That’s what we call service. Best Wishes Helen Saxton.
Hi,
Having worked at the original site On Norwich Road , I am sure this venture will be just as successful,I see you have an excellent team behind you who offer an aray of knowledege and experience.
Wishing you every sucess in the future, will pop in and see you soon..
Jane
Really great that you are all back and will be giving us all your usual high standards again. Having had all my Discovery looked after by Sally and her team for over the last 12 years I was dreading having to go elsewhere as I knew the service would not compare. I wish you all at Lindacre all the success I know you deserve. I enjoyed my visit yesterday and it was fantastic to see the spirit and enthusiasm in bucket loads, see you soon for the next service.
Julian.
All staff at Woodward Markwell Insurance Brokers, Ipswich Congratulate and Wish Lindacre Service Centre the Best of Luck for the future. It’s good to see some good out of the current climate.
All the very best to you all,I am sure with people like Glen at the helm knowing how customers want
to be treated you cannot help but succeed.
Great news and good luck folks. Not only bucking the trend and starting a new venture, but much needed facility with a great crew!!!
All of your hard work and vision will pay off and I look forward to visiting again soon……
Good luck on the new venture. Flying the flag for Landrover in Suffolk! Sarah and I hope to vist
you shortly.
Congratulations & the very best of luck on a brave move.
Having tried to book into Lookers in Colchester & been told to wait 2 weeks & needing the car for a full day to look at a saftey issue, I’ll be coming to see you very soon !
This is very good news! We always received first-class service from both Hunters and Lindacres before them.
Hopefully you will be approved as an “Official” Service Centre soon. Well, before my LR needs it’s next service!
Best wishes & good luck!
Tony Miller.
This is Fantastic news!! Like Jane, I too had the pleasure of working with the original team on Norwich Road, I wish you all the best, heard the Advert on Heart this morning and just had to log on – the site looks amazing i love the personal touch, Good luck to Greg and the great team you have!! Kirstinxx
Delighted to hear that you are up and running again down there in Ipswich we will be back for servicing and a good “deal” in the future. Glad the team are still together and we will continue to travel 500 miles because there is no better team to look after my landrover!!!
What horror of horrors in the loss of Hunters. I could not send my Freelander, to just anyone especially as it had been so lovingly cared for under the direction of Sally & her team over the last 7 years, (The Best of The Best) miracles do happen as Lindacre have come to the rescue in being the real A team for Landrover servicing anywhere in Essex/Suffolk.Well done all at Lindacre.
Thank you all for the recent service done on my Discovery. As ever 100% exceptional service from collection to return. With the hard and high mileage I do, 75000 in 22 months,I am really pleased to have you all looking after my vehicle.
So come on Land Rover give all of your customers the Service Centre we need in this area. No one else comes close to the service Sally and her team give us.
In 2007 we bought a TD5 ES Premium from a Northern dealer. Long and short of it, in my view, was that the car was rubbish, the dealer was RUBBISH including the dealer principal and the whole experience was utterly pathetic.
In complete contrast, the patience, diligence and communication skills of Gary Clover in particular and the Team at Ipswich Land Rover slowly but surely restored our faith in the Brand and restored the vehicle including a brand new engine to the complete satisfaction of my wife and I.
I was dismayed when I learned of the closure, and have since moved to St Neots, from where I took my new Range Rover Sport back to Ipswich for a minor warranty repair just before their closure.
I will definitely be using Lindacre from now on even though their site is 70 miles from my Hotel, such is my TRUST in Gary and the team.
Very well done for getting it off the ground, I have NO DOUBT that is the standards are maintained and you get the LR approval, you will fly.
Good luck, you deserve it.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your help. I love my old Range Rover and have experienced problems with it for the past eighteen months and have tried several ‘experts’ to sort the problems out at considerable expense and no resolution. I was just about to give up when a colleague, who is already a customer, recommended that I give you a chance rather than sell it in despair.
You diagnosed the fault almost immediately and completed a quick repair at a relatively modest cost to myself. Trevor and Lee are a couple of stars.
Thanks again and I will definitely be back.
Phil
i am very pleased to have this opportunity to say thankyou, For the repair to my Freelander…but also the manner to which i was brought up to date with it’s progress and and the attitude by all at ‘Lindacre’ diring it’s repair…I recommend them…
