"I cannot recommend Shaun and his business highly enough!"
By Julian Warington-Smyth, 3 October 2024
Read More
Shaun and his team sorted out a number of issues with my Discovery Sport without any fuss and bother! I was worried about the number of warning lights showing on the dashboard. Shaun very quickly put my mind at rest and the works required were completed quickly. His advice was straightforward and I found that dealing with him was a pleasure throughout. I cannot recommend Shaun and his business highly enough.

Having read various Honest John reviews l contacted Shaun King to discuss resolving an issue that my normal independent Land Rover servicer had been unable to address. I had been advised that the power steering pump needed replacing but no further information was forthcoming. I described the symptoms to Shaun King and arranged to take the vehicle to him. After a short test drive he advised that issue l had was not the steering pump itself but a clogged filter in the pump oil reservoir. He had a replacement unit in stock and offered to replace it immediately, even though it was evident that he was also busy with other vehicles. The effect was revolutionary! The vehicle is now lighter and quieter to steer, and Shaun King now has another happy customer. l would have no hesitation in recommending him as a professional, knowledgeable, efficient, friendly and customer-minded engineer. Thank you!

Shaun and his team have just MOT’d my Landrover Discovery 3. Now 19 years old it requires and understand ding and resourceful crew to look after it and that is what you get with Shaun. The Disco need some work doing, Shaun kept me updated throughout the process, talking me through what was needed. I was kept updated with timescales and despite the garage being very busy I had the vehicle at the end of the week. Shaun is knowledgeable, personable and is happy to give advice and recommendation. I have every confidence in him and his team. The price is transparent and fair. With Shaun’s help I hope to have the vehicle for many more years. I would thoroughly recommend Shaun King Engineering. They know their stuff.

"If only all Land Rover specialists were this good!"
By David Auchterlonie, 15 August 2024

I recently took my Land Rover Discovery 3 to Shaun for a turbo repair, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Shaun specializes in Land Rovers, and it truly shows in the quality of his work. From the moment I arrived, he was incredibly helpful and friendly, taking the time to explain what needed to be done and answering all my questions. The repair was completed efficiently, and my Discovery 3 is running better than ever. It's clear that Shaun is highly knowledgeable and takes pride in his work. I highly recommend him to anyone with a Land Rover who needs a reliable and skilled mechanic. I'll definitely be returning for any future maintenance or repairs!

Moved to the South West recently….having gone to an independent Land Rover garage in North West England for years, I was concerned about finding somewhere I felt comfortable with. Shaun’s passion for any vehicle he’s working on shone through immediately. He communicates well and goes above and beyond. No wonder he is so busy! So happy to have found someone so knowledgeable and trustworthy. Thank you Shaun!

Shaun was recommended to me by a friend who had used Shaun's services in the past. I am so glad I took my friend's advice. He was obviously busy when I contacted him, but he still found the time to stop and listen to my concerns. He treated me very professionally, as if I was his only customer. After the fault was rectified, he took the time to explain exactly what he had to do, and showed me the parts he had removed from my vehicle. If you are looking to have your vehicle repaired or serviced, I would certainly recommend you chat with Shaun first before looking elsewhere. Very satisfied with the work done and the time it took. Very happy with the cost of work undertaken, and the parts were very reasonable. Shame about the 20% VAT but we're all stuck with that. Thanks again Shaun.

It's true, you can't have a landrover without a great mechanic! I rang shaun on a Saturday and he managed to squeeze me in on the Monday afternoon, all fixed and picked up again by Tuesday lunchtime. I know when my car goes in I get honest, professional help.

"Great service, friendly and knowledgeable"
By Stuart Jeffs, 6 December 2023

I found Shaun’s place whilst I was on holiday. I was looking to get the automatic gearbox on my Discovery 4 serviced. I wanted the filter changed and the oil flushing, but I was struggling to find anyone local to me who would do it. Most places only wanted to do the flush as it’s a quicker and easier job than replacing the filter too. When I spoke to Shaun, I found him friendly and knowledgeable, and he agreed that the filter should also be changed when doing the flush and gave me a rough quote for doing the work (very competitive). We agreed on a date, and I took the back car down for Shaun to do the work. They worked hard to get the car done on time and Shaun ensured he kept within his original quote. I also got him to change the transfer box and diff oils. He identified an issue with my propshaft bearing that needs to be fixed. As I was only down for the day, he didn’t have the time to sort it. Shaun’s apprentice (Charlie) was polite and friendly and kindly dropped me back in Par whilst they worked on my car. The gear change is a lot smoother on the car now. It was a long trip to take the car to Shaun, but I feel it was worth it, knowing that the job was done properly. I’m very pleased with the work that was done and would highly recommend Shaun’s place.

Shaun has saved my car numerous times, he is very knowledgeable, kind and finds the time to fit you in for emergencies. My car is my main work vehicle and so was very quick at getting it fixed.

I doubt you'll find anybody with more Land Rover knowledge than Shaun, nor anyone with more pride in the work they do. Gets to the root cause of issues and the proper solution. Puts in the hours to help people get out of a jam. A good man.

Took my Disco 3 in because the handbrake started singing. Having been quoted over 2.5k from somewhere else I was advised to try Sean. So glad I did as he fixed the issue for a fraction of the price. Honest, fast, and very knowledgeable about Land Rovers. I will definitely return when something else inevitably goes wrong with it!!

I am a lady who has just bought a Land Rover Defender 90. I called in to see Shaun King as I had heard a lot of good reports, I had problems with the battery not holding. He immediately helped giving me the opportunity to bring it in that day. I asked advice about a number of issues to which he answered very honestly and reassuringly. I booked it in for the next day and he kept me informed with what he was doing and gave a realistic timeframe. Collected the next day. Excellent work.Will always take my Land Rover to Shaun as I feel he will do a thoroughly good honest job treating my vehicle as if it was his own. If you are a lady owning a Land Rover I would strongly recommend going to Shaun King you will not find anywhere better.

"Run by experienced Land Rover mechanic"
By Debbie Pomeroy, 17 October 2023

I had a full service history with an up country LR specialist and wanted to maintain the record here in Cornwall. I came across Shaun’s website and took it there. I left it with him and he was able to fit the work in earlier than expected. Super friendly guys there, and even had a lift home. Shaun was able to give me a rough idea of prices for the job but even so I was pleasantly surprised at the bill. He used Genuine parts but his labour charges seemed super reasonable. This may reflect the fact that he’s a LR specialist and knows their idiosyncrasies. Certainly came away confident he’s done a good job at a fair price.

I was recommended to take my Defender to Shaun by a friend and I'm so glad I did. The work he did was excellent, he kept us informed of what needed doing (so no nasty surprises when the bill came) and I can honestly say my Defender has never driven so well! Shaun is incredibly knowledgeable about all things Land Rover and to top it all, he's a thoroughly nice guy. From now on our Land Rovers will only ever go to Shaun's garage. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this garage to anyone looking for an honest, reliable Land Rover specialist.

Travelling on holiday and landrover went into limp mode 100 miles away. Eventually got to my site in Cornwall (RAC were useless). Obviously needed the Freelander fixing to get home and came across this garage. What a fantastic bit of luck. Shaun the owner, made time for us and squeezed us into his already busy timeframe. He diagnosed the car and fixed it within a day. We thought we would have 10 days of holiday without a car and being stuck on the camp site. He pulled out all the stops. I have the saying “treat people the way you want to be treated”. Shaun has the same mindset and wouldn’t leave me stranded. Great garage.
