When your Land Rover’s engine is due for its scheduled tune-up, we at Bavarian Auto Repair dive in to preserve its power and longevity. We begin by draining and replacing engine oil with the exact synthetic grade your model requires, install a new OEM oil filter, and inspect spark plugs, ignition coils, and air and fuel filters for wear or fouling. Belts and hoses are examined for cracks or looseness, valve clearances are checked and adjusted if needed, and throttle bodies are cleaned to maintain smooth response. Using thermal imaging and compression checks, we verify that cylinders are operating evenly, and we top off all fluids (coolant, power steering, and brake) according to factory specs. You’ll see before-and-after photos of wear points and receive a clear summary of the work performed alongside an upfront estimate, so you always know where your investment goes. Our hands-on attention to detail, genuine OEM parts, and straightforward communication ensure your Land Rover’s engine continues to deliver the performance and reliability you expect.

Service Descriptions
Comprehensive Land Rover oil & filter change using OEM-approved synthetic oil and filter, performed to factory torque and fill specifications to ensure proper lubrication and long-term engine protection.
Land Rover engines (e.g. turbocharged 4-cyl, inline-6, or supercharged V8) generate high heat and pressure that break down oil quickly. Regular oil service is critical to prevent timing chain wear, turbo failure, and carbon buildup. Our service begins with a pre-inspection of the oil pan, drain plug, and filter housing for leaks. We then drain the old oil, remove and replace the OEM spin-on or cartridge filter, and clean the housing to ensure a proper seal. Fresh oil meeting JLR STJLR.51.5122 spec is filled to the exact capacity and viscosity grade for your model. Drain plug and filter housing are torqued to specification, and the engine is run through warm-up cycles before rechecking for leaks. We reset the service reminder with Land Rover diagnostic tools, verify oil pressure and temperature stability, and road test under different conditions to confirm smooth performance. This service maintains lubrication, cooling, and contaminant control in high-stress Land Rover engines.
Service Milestones
Perform first oil change at 1,000 miles to remove break-in debris.
Repeat every 5,000 miles or 6–12 months to protect timing components and turbochargers.
In severe use (short trips, off-road, extreme heat/cold, towing), shorten interval to 3,000–4,000 miles.

Service Descriptions
Comprehensive Land Rover brake fluid flush using JLR-approved DOT 4 or DOT 4 LV fluid. We exchange old fluid from the master cylinder, ABS/ESC hydraulic unit, and calipers, then bleed to a firm pedal. This restores boiling point, protects ABS valves, and maintains consistent braking on-road and off-road.
Brake fluid in Land Rover vehicles absorbs moisture over time, lowering its boiling point and risking vapor lock, brake fade, and internal corrosion. This is especially critical in SUVs subjected to towing, off-road use, or heavy traffic. Our service uses a pressure-assisted exchange through the reservoir, ABS unit, and caliper bleeders to remove degraded fluid. We then bleed each wheel in the factory sequence, cycle the ABS/ESC unit with diagnostic tools, and verify pedal firmness. We also inspect hoses, fittings, and calipers for leaks. This service restores reliable brake feel, protects hydraulic components, and ensures confidence in all driving conditions.
Service Milestones
If service history is unknown, begin with a full flush to establish baseline fluid quality.
Every 2 years or 20,000 miles to maintain ABS/ESC performance.
For towing, off-road, or humid climates, shorten interval to 12–18 months.
Flush if moisture test strip fails or fluid appears dark/contaminated.
Always flush after replacing calipers, lines, or master cylinder.

Service Descriptions
Land Rover engine air filter replacement restores clean airflow and protects turbochargers and cylinders by removing dust, sand, and debris from the intake system.
Land Rover engines operate in a wide range of conditions, from highways to off-road environments where dust and debris are common. The engine air filter protects the intake system, turbochargers, and cylinders by trapping contaminants before they enter the combustion chamber. Over time, filters clog and restrict airflow, reducing performance, fuel efficiency, and potentially causing engine wear. During this service, we remove the old filter, inspect the airbox and intake ducts for debris or leaks, and install a new Land Rover-approved filter. For V6, I6, and V8 engines with dual filter setups, both elements are replaced together. This service restores horsepower, throttle response, and long-term engine health.
Service Milestones
Replace air filter every 15k–20k miles or 12–24 months under normal conditions.
For dusty, sandy, or off-road environments, replace sooner at 10k–12k miles or annually.
Inspect air filter yearly even at low mileage to confirm condition.

Inspect ducts and housing for leaks or debris during replacement.
What You'll Leave With
A detailed report documenting condition of the removed filter(s), photos of replacement, inspection notes for ducts and airbox, and confirmation that OEM-spec filter(s) were installed. Includes next service interval recommendation.
Service Descriptions
Land Rover cabin air filter replacement restores fresh airflow and protects passengers by trapping dust, pollen, and pollutants before they enter the interior.
The cabin air filter in your Land Rover ensures clean, filtered air reaches the interior while protecting HVAC components from dust and debris. Over time, the filter becomes clogged with contaminants, reducing airflow, straining the blower motor, and allowing odors to develop. During this service, we remove the old filter, inspect the housing for debris or moisture, and install a new OEM Land Rover-approved filter. For models with advanced filtration, we install activated carbon or HEPA cabin filters as equipped. This service restores HVAC efficiency, improves air quality, and protects both passengers and climate-control components.
Service Milestones
Replace cabin filter every 15k–20k miles or 12–24 months under normal driving conditions.

These guys are great! I had a “turn your engine” off warning come on when driving my kids to swim. I called while I was there and they said just bring it by and they’d check it out. They were so helpful and kind and even had a little spot for my kiddos to watch tv and hang out. I plan to use them for any of those auto repair needs that pop up!
