Taylor and his team are the real deal. Theyre attention to detail is unparalleled and their restorations show it. I have turned to them many times for customized parts as well as installation advice and theyve always come through with professionalism and kindness. Now that my custom build is finally complete after years of work, I know that I couldnt have done it without Congleton. π
The best place to take your Land Rover in Vermont period.Amazing knowledge and experience matched with honest and professional estimates.I could write about how awesome they are all day long.Ill have to come back and update this review. Some more when I have the time to describe how much I respect this shop and their work.
Highest recommendation to Taylor and his team. I bought a sight unseen discovery knowing the history of complications that come with the vehicle and could not be happier with the purchase. Taylor is extremely knowledgeable and more importantly courteous, patient, and thoughtful. He helped me understand what preventive maintenance might be worth the cost in a way that makes clear he understands what it is like to own an older rover (I also own a series truck). Taylor is not pushy and worked with me during the buying process. He focuses on the customer and emphasizes having a positive experience. Will absolutely use Congleton again and sing their praises whenever I can.
Sent my Range Rover Classic to them right before I left the country for a year. Not only did they store it for me the work they did is impeccable. The detail of work, customer service, and ability to work with you is unmatched. Are they the cheapest? Yes. For the quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, you cant find a better price.Cant recommend them enough!
This is THE place to get quality parts for your classic Rover. They are very knowledgable and have parts you cant find anywhere else. This is my new go to place for my 2 door Range Rover Classic. Keep up the great work!
We sent our over 30 year old Hunter to Congleton for a total restore. They went through her with a fine toothed comb, found issues we hadnt even thought of. They are extremely professional and are total pros. We have our Hunter back and are thrilled! Will never take a Range to any other place other than Congleton service. Thank You Congleton!
2nd experience: Taylor and Noah found a used heater core that I couldnt otherwise find (nor could my mechanic) after both of us bought a replacement listed for my 88 County. I am back up and running again and was super impressed two interactions in a row. Thank you!1st experience: Very user friendly and found a difficult-to-source part quickly and cost-effectively. As the owner of a β88 County, I expect to be a long-standing customer...Thanks, Taylor and Tyler
If you are looking at Congleton Service and think they are focused on restoration only think again. When I was looking for somewhere to get my 06 Sport serviced in Northern Vermont I was doubtful they would be interested. As it turned out Taylor and his team were brilliant and couldnt have been more helpful. Incredibly knowledgable about the vehicle, excellent customer service and, after an overhaul of suspension, I now have a 14 yo RR with over 210k on the clock driving like new. Thank you.
The most repubtable knowledgeable Land Rover/Range Rover Classic auto restomod and service business in the entire United States. Five stars βΌοΈ
I had my Range Rover P38 towed to Congleton Service after an engine mishap left me stranded in VT. This was my first experience with Taylor & his team, and the process and transparency was beyond smooth. Heβs extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and clearly a master of these vehicles. Under any other circumstances I probably would have called it quits on the vehicle, given the unexpected issues that tend to pop up with these models, but the team didnβt flinch and more importantly instilled trust.Honesty & quality, if I lived in the area heβd be the only person Iβd let work on my truck.
Great organization! They are always very polite and professional. Always able address my concerns and fix any issues in a timely manner.
Really surprising - called to see if they serviced late model range rovers for repair - specifically for an alignment - never received a call back and when I stopped in to ask about their services was met by Taylor who was unbelievably rude. Told me they donβt do alignments and then asked if I saw the no trespassing signs outside his office ...where they supposedly deal with customers?...youβd think a company that offers βLand Rover servicesβ would at least not be surprised or put off when someone asked about them. The cherry on top was when I asked if he had any suggestion of where to take it and his reply was βNoβ - going to make sure everyone I know who has a Land Rover and more importantly wants one, stays as far away from this place as possible.
Congleton Service is the place I go to first when I need Range Rover Classic parts that I know are no longer available elsewhere. Fast shipping even all the way out here on the opposite coast!
Ordered a bunch of classic parts from these guys including interior trim parts and window seals which have been really hard to find. The products are terrific, these guys are car guys. Cant wait for LWB running boards. Thanks!
Ive used Congleton Service for years on numerous Range Rover Classics, including one Certified full restoration. Their work and attention to detail is simply the best. Taylor is a perfectionist and the trucks leaving his shop reflect that. The upgraded engines they make transform the trucks into usable daily drivers. The fully restored truck is true craftsmanship and a work of art.
I picked up my 2nd 95 RRC SWB (Beluga) a year ago and as many Rover owners, my job list had grown and required careful planning to do it right. I had been considering/researching several shops in the NJ/NYC area and while all promoted that they βspecializedβ in Classics, in the end, I found them to be just shops.I found Congleton Services about a year ago and kept up with the work of Taylor and his team via Instagram, Land Rover forums, and the Congleton Services website. After speaking to Taylor a few times, I decided to give Taylor and his team a try and make the 5-hour drive up to Colchester, VT. (If youβre Land Rover guy or girl, you at the very least should make a trip to Congleton Services to see the parking lot - Itβs like Mecca).During this time, Taylor and his team reviewed the truck and suggested prioritizing jobs with the framework of my intended use and budget, and combined jobs that complemented each other in terms of labor job labor. During this time, Taylor updated me via phone calls, texts, and before/after pictures highlighting each job. I felt that the care and attention to detail were of the highest standard I could ask for (far more than any Land Rover dealership Iβve used).Taylor and his team replaced my rear liftgate (adding many powder coated parts), identified why there was additional play in my steering wheel at high speeds (intermediate steering shaft), replaced all bushings, identified and solved my driverβs side window stall, applied Waxoyl to the undercarriage and installed a new NRP exhaust, and serviced the transmission filter.After flying back to VT to pick her up, I truly could not believe the work that was performed. I have never had a team of experts not only provide the level of job planning attention to detail, care, and communication regarding the service that was performed. It was truly an experience and I can say without question that these guys took care of my truck as if it was their own. She drives like a new truck!I will gladly make the trip to VT to continue the high level of service Congleton Services provides. If youβre interested in seeing some of the work, feel free to contact me.
Congleton Service is the best in the business. The team is very knowledgeable, professional, and has the highest level of service. Taylor Congleton is very passionate and maintains a very high quality of work. I have complete confidence in bringing my vehicle to them for service and trust any recommendation for work needed. Taylor is honest and seriously the best out there!
After tons of research, I sent my 94 Range Rover Classic all the way from Montana to Vermont. Major work and updates, including a new/reman long block and ZF transmission. Travelled to Colchester for an on-site visit a little over half-way thru (the 11 month) project, - which if you are able to do, Id recommend for two reasons - the shop is Rover Mecca, and theres no substitute for an in-person walk around and test drive with Taylor.The quality of the work exceeded my expectations. It was well worth the costs for what was done. The result is a truck that is so much better to drive β but still authentically a Classic.Iβd add integrity to Congletonβs unparalleled skill and knowledge of all things Rover. I never felt like I was being upsold or talked into something.The only wrinkle came in the project management of the work. There were a few misfires of do this, not that despite those things having been covered in emails and/or calls. With recent press, and great reviews, they have so much work that they are having growing pains dealing with their increased business. A new larger shop, and some additional hires are in the works, which should help.The quality of the work is off the charts. But sometimes the admin around the project was kind of a drag. Doesnt mean I wouldnt do it all over again, though!
Great experience. Real pros that know the ins and outs of Range Rover Classics. Their attention to detail is to notch. I wouldnt take a RRC anywhere else.
Congleton service did a great job servicing my 2008 Range Rover. Taylor provided me with fair pricing, and was knowledgeable about the transmission pan and filter upgrade, as another local specialist was not. As a mechanic I rarely have trusted others to work on my vehicles, but as a new land rover owner I wanted a local expert. Congleton service seems to fit that bill. Thank you!
Do you need Land Rover/Range Rover maintenance / repair / restoration? This is the place. Taylor and his team have been providing the best service/parts I can find for my Land Rover Ninety and previously for my 109. Older Land Rovers and Range Rovers are a bit of a niche market, but Congleton Service has expertise to maintain, repair or restore your vehicle. Their in-depth knowledge of NOS/LR/After-market parts availability and quality has made repairs and refreshment of my vehicles a breeze.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your Land Rover/Range Rover, look no further because the Congleton Team is the BEST! Taylor is honest, reliable, and very responsive to any concerns. On more than one occasion, we had some unexpected issues with our Range Rover, and Taylor got us into his shop quickly and also fixed the issue in a timely fashion. Now, I would only trust Taylor with my Range Rover.
The place to go for parts and upgrades to my 88 Range Rover Classic. The quality and availability of impossible to find parts is unmatched by these guys.
I believe Congletonβs Service to be the foremost specialist in Range Rover Classics in the country. After discussing the repairs my 1989 RRC needed with my other Land Rover specialty shops, the moment I spoke with Taylor it was clear that he was not only knowledgeable about these vehicles, but immensely passionate about them. A passion that he backs with his own name and reputation that continues to define excellence in the Land Rover community. Congleton brought my rig back to life with an unparalleled attention to detail backed by the highest degree of professionalism. I would highly recommend Congleton to anyone who shares the belief in βdoing the job right the first timeβ.
Taylor Congleton is a perfectionists perfectionist, incorporating modern engineering and technologies into classic Rovers. If you have one of these icons that you care about, then you need to know Taylor.
These guys are the best in the business. They are true artists and you will not meet anyone more passionate about the classic Range Rover. I just picked up a 94 swb RRC and could not be happier. Taylor and Parker know these rare timeless vehicular inside and out. They also have excellent vendor relationships for the few items they donβt personally do such as paint. Their tech crew is also very knowledgeable and takes pride in their work. If you are in the market for a classic car these are the guys!
Went in for an oil change and after I picked up my Range Rover the engine seized on my way home. Well they forgot to put new oil in my engine! They said they were sorry but there was nothing they were going to do to fix my engine or make things right. What a nightmare!
I had been looking to buy a Range Rover Classic for the past year and kept seeing Congleton come up in my internet research as one of the best places to service/restore RRCs in the US. When I ended up finding one (a 1995 County LWB), I knew that Congleton was the place that I wanted to send it to have it worked on. I had a great conversation with Taylor and Noah and they arranged the transport of the truck and handled everything (for less than any of the shipping quotes I had received). They then did an incredibly detailed diagnostic and created a list of literally every thing the car needed down to the tiniest screw to get it into top shape both mechanically and aesthetically. Its amazing how much these guys know about these cars - but I guess its not surprising as they are constantly taking them apart and putting them back together (the rebuild/restorations I saw them working on at their shop are insane!). Taylor then worked with me to create a plan that fit my budget and would get the car in shape as a daily driver. He was very detailed and upfront about everything. I really trust these guys and had a great experience working with them. You can tell how passionate they are about these cars. They were very helpful with the many questions that I had and did a fantastic job. I drove 7 hours back from picking it up at their shop and it drove flawlessly. And when I brought the car to get it inspected the mechanic commented that whoever had done the work had done an amazing job.Im very glad I went to these guys and would recommend them to anyone. Being new to RRCs it has been really helpful to have them as a resource that I can reach out to anytime.
