BART and Tom are two knowledgeable and friendly guys. I brought my new defender in for its first service and they did a great job. Then the next day while trimming some plastic from the inner wheel well to accommodate larger tires I hit the auxiliary radiator. Obviously not something that the dealer would cover under warranty and not wanting to even involve the dealer, independent motor car came to the rescue and repaired the issue quickly at a fraction of the cost. I will use them for all my Land Rover needs outside of the warranty and after when it expires. Excellent shop and customer service.

These guys are top notch! Brought my disco in here after bringing my truck to multiple shops on Long Island and just getting fed up. I bring it here and they know what they are doing. I had new ball joints installed upper and lower both sides. New coil packs, oil change, exhaust manifold leaks fixed on both sides, o2 sensors and more I m sure I m forgetting. They did an awesome job! First shop that could align my truck the first time and actually get the wheel straight! Don t waste your time anywhere else.

I just bought my range rover and what better way than to give it a full evaluation to make sure everything is on point. I have always said never give your car to any mechanic that if you think you are saving money let me tell you that you are doing the wrong thing, only trust people who know and know about the brand of your car since they are trained and are specialists in your vehicle. Today I had the pleasure of meeting Bart, what a gentleman and professional person. From my first communication with him by phone, everything was excellent. Today they changed the oil in my truck, they inspected each part of the electrical and mechanical system and everything went perfectly, only one thing came out and very minor that very soon these gentlemen are going to take care of it to be up to date. 100%. Today I found the perfect garage to take care of my truck. This place is incredible and super clean. I recommend it to all Land Rover or Range Rover owners, they will not be disappointed.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Brakes, Auto maintenance, Oil change

Bart, Tom and Primo are very thorough and attentive. They take the time to show you what is wrong or needs attention and then give you all options. I could not be happier with the work they did on my Classic. The engine is running like new and I got over 16mpg (16.36) on a recent long trip (1200 miles round trip). Highly recommend.Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Engine repair, Oil changeServices: Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Engine repair, Oil change

Bart and his team did a great job on my vehicle! They were very professional but the most important thing for me was not feeling like I was being taken advantaged of. The team at Independent care about the customer and their vehicle. They understand how costly it is to maintain a Land Rover vehicle and they look out for the customer in that way. I am extremely pleased with the operation of my vehicle. If you want premium land rover repair services at a way lower price than Land Rover itself, use Independent Motorcar, you won t be disappointed!Services: Transmission, Engine repair, Auto brake replacement

BART, Tom and the group at IMC are outstanding. They ve gone above and beyond to help keep my d90 on the road. They provide excellent service at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend them to any one looking for a specialty shop that can care for classic Defenders.Services: Steering & suspension repair, Auto brake repair, Engine repair, Oil changeServices: Steering & suspension repair, Auto brake repair, Engine repair, Oil change

Eric and the team at independent are the BEST land/Range Rover mechanics around. They are honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable and quick on repairs. I have a 2017 Range Rover V8 supercharged and I would not trust it to anyone else. Their knowledge blows the dealer out of the water and their prices are much more reasonable. The shop is brand new and you won t be disappointed with their service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Services: Steering & suspension repair, Auto engine tuning, Brakes, Oil change

I don't know where to even begin. Bart has won us over for life. We live in Merrick and will not think twice about driving to Smithtown to service our truck. The mechanics and Bart were HONEST, knowledgeable, diligent and just plain wonderful. Range Rovers can be complex and they know their stuff. They didn't take advantage of us and we are forever grateful. This business is proof that there are still hardworking, trustworthy people out there. THANK YOU INDEPENDENT MOTORCAR for all you did for us.Services: Engine repair, Oil change

These guys are some of the best in the business I would highly recommend to anyone in need of repairs to their Land Rover. After working with Eric and Bart, I am truly impressed by both their deep knowledge /expertise and their integrity it is clear they take immense pride in their work and do the right thing . Simply put their work is top notch (my rover has never run better) and they are trusted advisors throughout the process. I ll never go anywhere else. Great job guy!!

This shop is legit. Really knowledgeable owner and staff and they don t rip you off. I had a bunch of issues with my 200tdi defender (low compression, electrical gremlins, etc) and Eric and the team fixed them all. He even tuned the motor after all the work was done at no additional charge. My defender feels like a totally different truck after this work. Thanks Eric and team, you have another lifelong customer.Services: Electrical repair, Engine repair

Unfortunately, I had a catastrophic engine failure when my engine overheated blowing my head gasket and cracking my block. The guys at Independent took care of my 2002 Disco like it was theirs. They quickly got my truck running like new in record time. No shortcuts were taken. I would highly recommend Independent Motor and will be using them in the future. Eric the manager was in constant communication with me. He kept me updated throughout the whole repair. Thanks guys!Service: Engine repair

After finding Independent MororCar, I will not be going back to a dealership for the servicing of my Range Rover HSE ever again. We had an honest, no-nonsense experience. The proprietors Eric and Bart are extremely knowledgeable, fair priced and I never felt like I was being sold something my vehicle didn t need. Highly recommended.

Eric and his crew are absolutely amazing. I had to drive 3200 miles from New York to San Francisco and took my car in to make sure everything was ready to go before the move, and they took their time to make sure everything was in top notch shape and ready to go for the drive. My drive was super smooth and I made it to California no problem, and didn't have to worry at all because I knew my car had been well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend!

So happy I was recommended to this shop. If you have a Land Rover, I am not sure why you would go anywhere else. They know the trucks inside and out, excellent service and fair pricing. They go the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied.

I can t say enough good things about Independent Motorcar. I m the owner of a 1995 NAS Defender 90 and these guys took care of my truck like it was their own. I brought it in for routine maintenance and a few odds and ends. They identified all my concerns and sent me a clear scope of work and cost breakdown online. I was able to review and approve each item prior to the job being started. Very professional and top quality work. My truck has never been better. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality shop!

These guys go above and beyond expectations, let me start off by saying thank you to all of the guys that made this experience possible, for a $100 you get your oil and filter changed with synthetic oil, but it does not end there these guys will check your truck thoroughly and give you their honest opinion and feedback on the condition of your truck I wasn t just told that my truck had some issues that I wasn t aware of, I was shown the issues that presented themselves trust me guys even if you don t live close by you should definitely take the drive out there it was well worth it, this shop definitely gained me as a customer no matter where I end up.
