Avoid Coventry North Jaguar Land Rover if you care about - H Bawari
Avoid Coventry North Jaguar Land Rover if you care about getting what you sign for.
I put a deposit on a new 2026 Defender 110 and signed a bill of sale prepared by sales rep Gage King that clearly listed 20 inch Gloss Black Style 6011 wheels. I waited almost a month for it. The vehicle arrived on October 9 and sat on their lot for almost two weeks. Nobody called or emailed me to say the wheels didn’t match my contract.
I found out on October 22, two days before my scheduled pickup, when I was handed a new bill of sale for a different vehicle with different wheels, different options, a different incentive and different payments. Their proposed fix was to powder coat grey wheels black, which is not the factory black wheel I signed for.
When I raised it with sales manager Dirk DeSousa, he did not take ownership of the mistake or offer a real solution. The dealership then admitted in writing that the wheel finish on my signed contract was entered in error and that black wheels were restricted by the factory when the order was placed. That means the spec I signed was never something they could deliver, and nobody checked before putting it in a contract or told me when the car arrived.
They refunded my deposit, but that doesn’t give me back a month of waiting and planning around a delivery that was never going to happen as signed. I have filed a complaint with OMVIC.
