In the Kawartha Lakes, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and even the Greater Toronto area for jobs I can't tackle myself and that has proprietary LR software updates, etc. (this is a "just in case" scenario)

Thought I would give this a shot on this forum since the ferry to the UK is always full................

Thought I would give this another shot in the dark, anyone on this very informative forum know of a good Volvo indy in the target area requested above?

My dealer is very helpful, sometimes. As for finding an independent shop; good luck. Guy Pensa

I recently bought a used LR2 and before buying it went to seek out a shop that could fix it.

I haven't had to use this shop yet but I did visit them to see if they would be a good place for servicing.

They say that have the computers / software to work on Land Rovers and specialize in them and looked legit.

Good luck!

^^^^^Thank you for the info! Bookmarked! I will check them out in the new year.

My local shop in Toronto is also willing to work on the LR2. They do not however have computers specific to Land Rover.

I had the unfortunate need for them to change the bearings in the rear diff and they did a great job -- at a very good price vs the other places I called.

This place in Barrie specializes in Land Rovers https://www.lakesideautomotiveinc.ca/

I'm looking at a used LR2 in Innisfil and Lakeside will be be doing the pre-purchase inspection.

FWIW i live in Hamilton and am hoping there's enough Volvo DNA in an LR2 to take it to Jonathan's Swedish Car Repair (now Cannon Car Care). If he can maintain an LR2 the way he's looked after my C30, the LR will be in good hands.
