Here part of the email from the Customer Relationship Centre
As per our previous conversation, we would need you to bring your vehicle to one of our authorized JLR dealers. That being said, you would be responsible for paying the diagnostic fee, being that this is something that the dealership requires in order to successfully diagnose the vehicle.

And from the executive office
For all other non-minor repairs, there is a charge for repairs and a diagnostic fee. Please do let me know if you have any further questions and I wish you a good weekend.

This whole thing has left a bitter taste in my mouth with regards to Jaguar.

I have spoken to the dealer and they are not going to charge me. I am just wondering if anyone else has heard anything else so absurd. During my conversation with Jaguar I asked them if I brought my brand new Jaguar into a dealership because the engine was making a loud knocking sound would I need to pay a fee. And Jaguar said yes you would need to pay for them to diagnose the issue and then they would cover the repair. They do not cover diagnostics.
So no harm no foul right? Conceptual arguments are just that. I'd take it in get it looked at for no charge and go from there.

Don't feel bad Jaguar doesn't readily like to pay diagnostics to techs either. Going in multiple times with lap top only at .2. regardless. And I you do a software update that actually fixes a issue, if theres not a bulletin that applies you are NOT getting paid either.
As for an alignment it is covered for 12/12.5. And see accident at bottom? That would include a impact with curb or pothole. That being said it really comes down to the service advisor and dealer. I have never pushed that barring someone coming in with a blown tire. Then yeah you need a tire and alignment on your dime. otherwise we want to build long term relationships no get you today mentality.
