Our car was delivered to complete warranty work on the paintwork on the doors that were rubbing and the mis-aligned bonnet. However getting to this point was horrendous. We had to really fight for the work to be accepted by Group 1 as a genuine warranty issue. We have since been made aware that many other Evoque owners have had the same problem and therefore it must have been known to Jaguar Land Rover, so we are not sure why this was so difficult After many weeks of us stating our case it was finally accepted as a warranty repair. Cosmetically the bodywork completed by Steer Farnham looks good but we were not contacted by Steer on completion so do not have any details of what they did to actually remedy the doors rubbing. If it was simply a paint repair then the issue will re-occur in the future. They only had the vehicle for 72 hours. On collection of the vehicle from Group 1 Auto we inspected the vehicle to discover that the battery cover under the bonnet was missing! This was missed by both Steer and Group One Auto Guildford. After suggestions that it could be delivered to our house in the next few days which we rejected, it transpired that Steer had left it in our boot. Vik Patel the After Sales Manager for Group One Auto has been courteous and professional throughout this whole experience and has apologised. However from a dismal service experience to the incredible struggle we had to get a simple warranty issue recognised it has been appalling and not a very good introduction to Jaguar Land Rover. Mr Patel has kindly offered us a free first MOT in July 2026, which if we are feeling brave enough to return we will accept.
