I was VERY VERY pleased. They threw in protective coating and really were awesome... swapping out my old wheels, my short shifter, etc. The process for my dealer, HQ and myself sorta became fun... I think it's was a really not-complex one for HQ because it was paid off, so I rapport was pretty breezy and I just thought "I wonder if they'd take shots" and it seems the factory had fun with it.. All things aligned and now I'm a bookend owner the first and last manual!
Now that's a cool story! Refreshing to hear about such a success story and not only complaints where people feel that JLR don't own up to issues. Also a good example of how well kindness and patience can work sometimes!
