About us
Land Rover and Jaguar. That's all we do.
Broad Lane Land Rovers has been under Mark Pugh's ownership since 2015, when he took the garage on from its founder, Martin. It's an independent, family-run business, and it runs on a simple conviction: these vehicles are worth keeping on the road properly, for far longer than most people assume.
With over a decade in business, the team's 50+ years of combined experience spans the classic Series I right through to the latest electric vehicles. That range is the point. A Series I and an I-Pace have almost nothing in common, and most garages pick a side. We didn't.
Diagnostics most garages can't do
Mark spent his early career building and troubleshooting complex IT systems for large corporate clients before turning to Land Rovers full time. That's an unusual background in this trade, and it happens to be exactly what modern Land Rovers and Jaguars demand — they're rolling computer networks, and most of their faults are found by reading them properly, not by swapping parts until the light goes out.
We've invested in dealer-level diagnostic equipment rather than making do, and we regularly take on the jobs other garages have handed back. More on diagnostics.
Restoration you can actually check
Mark restored his first Series IIa at twenty, and Broad Lane went on to be one of the first in the UK to fit a Td5 engine into a Range Rover Classic. Defender restoration is still the work he finds most rewarding — done properly, it's what keeps these vehicles alive for the next owner.
We don't ask you to take that on trust. Our project archive documents the strip-downs, chassis swaps, bulkhead replacements and engine conversions as they happened.
The right specialist, not whoever's free
The team includes diagnostic specialists, engine experts and older-model Jaguar Land Rover aficionados, alongside an apprentice fast becoming an expert in off-roading and overland preparation. It also includes IMI Level 4 certified technicians — the highest level of qualification — so EV and hybrid models are properly covered rather than turned away.
And you always get the chance to speak directly to your mechanic. Not a service advisor, not a call centre — the person with their hands on your vehicle.
