About Us

In a big city like San Antonio, having a go-to Land Rover specialist you trust is invaluable. Bavarian Auto Repair is proud to offer our dealer-level Land Rover service right here in San Antonio, with none of the hassle of visiting a distant dealership. We understand how our local climate and driving conditions can affect your Land Rover: the Texas heat, stop-and-go traffic, and long highway commutes all put unique demands on your vehicle. Our San Antonio team is prepared to address those needs and more. We’re an independent European auto shop with a focus on Land Rover, which means you get specialized expertise for your luxury SUV without leaving town. Our facility is equipped with Land Rover’s factory diagnostic systems (SDD/Pathfinder) and all the specialized tools you’d find at a dealership service center. We handle the full range of Land Rover models from the city-friendly Range Rover Evoque and Velar to full-sized Range Rovers, Discovery models, and the latest Defenders. Whether your Land Rover just needs a basic oil service or a complex engine repair, we’ve got you covered. We can take care of everything from a routine 60,000-mile maintenance on a Discovery Sport to diagnosing a tricky electrical issue on a Range Rover Sport. Thanks to our advanced diagnostic software, even the most elusive fault codes and warning lights can be tracked down and resolved. San Antonio’s heat and urban driving are tough on vehicles, so we pay extra attention to cooling systems and A/C performance, brake wear (city stop-and-go is hard on brakes), and other key areas. Common Land Rover issues. Leaky water pumps, a weak battery struggling in the heat, or an air suspension warning light, are all familiar sights in our shop, and we know how to fix them efficiently. And for the high-tech features in your Land Rover, rest assured: we can update software, recalibrate cameras and parking sensors, and program modules or keys just like the dealer can. Quality is at the heart of our San Antonio operation. We use genuine Land Rover parts or manufacturer-approved components on every repair, and our technicians perform each service with precision. You’ll receive straightforward explanations about the work we recommend, and we’ll never try to sell you something your Land Rover doesn’t need. In fact, many customers appreciate that we often advise on what can wait versus what needs immediate attention, which is a level of honesty that can be hard to find elsewhere. And of course, we stand behind all our work with a 2-year/24,000-mile warranty covering parts and labor. Our aim is to give you complete peace of mind. Owning a Land Rover is about enjoying both luxury and adventure, and we’re here to make sure you can do exactly that. There’s nothing like a well-maintained Land Rover gliding through city traffic or tackling a road trip with ease. At Bavarian Auto Repair San Antonio, we take pride in keeping your Land Rover in top condition by delivering dealership-quality expertise with the friendly service and convenience of a local shop. We look forward to being your trusted partner in all things Land Rover.

Lubrication

Average Service Interval

5,000 miles or 6–12 months

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.

When you bring your Land Rover to us, you’ll often speak directly with the specialist who worked on your vehicle. They’ll take the time to explain what’s needed in plain language, and show you evidence of any issues. You get no-nonsense, no-pressure service with no surprise charges at the end. We provide clear estimates upfront and always seek your approval before work begins. Another reason local Land Rover owners trust us is our commitment to convenience and quality. We know you have a busy schedule, so we strive to make maintenance as easy as possible, whether that means quick turnaround for routine services or helping arrange a ride for larger repairs. Unlike many dealership experiences, you will not get lost in the shuffle here. Our team will remember you, your vehicle, and even your preferences. We back every visit with a strong warranty and a proven track record of satisfied customers.

Your European vehicle is in expert hands with our ASE-certified technicians here in San Antonio.

It’s the level of expertise you’d expect from a high-end dealer, delivered with the personal attention of a local independent shop.

There’s no need to waste time driving across town to an out of touch dealership when you can receive specialized care here. Our trained experts are right here on Starcrest Drive, delivering true dealer-level expertise with a neighborly touch. That's what makes us different.

By sourcing manufacturer-approved parts every time, we preserve your car’s performance and integrity on the road. Whether you’re navigating stop-and-go traffic on Loop 1604 in the summer heat or cruising I-10 or 281 on a road trip, you can trust every replaced part to perform just as reliably as the original. We never compromise when it comes to quality. Using factory-grade replacements helps prevent new problems down the road. These genuine components carry the same durability and safety standards that your car was engineered for, which means fewer surprises and a longer life for your vehicle. Our commitment to OEM parts is all about protecting your investment over the long haul, with zero compromises on quality.

We stand behind our work with an industry-leading 2-year/24,000-mile warranty covering both parts and labor on every repair.

It’s our way of demonstrating complete confidence in the quality of our parts and the skill of our technicians. Few auto shops, let alone dealerships, offer a warranty this strong.

FAQs

San Antonio Land Rover owners often have questions about maintaining their vehicles, and we’re here to provide answers. Below, we address some frequent questions we get at our San Antonio location. “How often should I change my oil if I mostly drive in heavy San Antonio traffic?” (Stop-and-go city driving can be tough on oil, so we might suggest sticking to the shorter end of Land Rover’s interval , around every 5,000 miles or 6 months, to ensure optimal engine protection). “Does the Texas heat affect my Land Rover’s maintenance needs?” (Absolutely, high heat can strain components. We pay extra attention to your cooling system, battery, and A/C during services. We may recommend more frequent checks of coolant, belts, and hoses, and we’ll ensure your A/C system and radiator are ready to handle our 100°F days). “Will servicing my Land Rover here void my warranty?” (Not at all. We perform all maintenance to factory specifications and use OEM parts, so your factory warranty remains intact. In fact, thanks to federal law, you can have your Land Rover serviced at an independent shop like ours without any impact on warranty coverage. And if we spot an issue that might be covered by a recall or warranty, we’ll let you know so you can consider dealer service for that item). “How do your prices compare to the Land Rover dealership?” (On average, you’ll find our labor rates and parts prices to be more competitive. We strive to save you money while never compromising on quality. Plus, with us you get a more personalized experience, which is something you can’t put a price on. We’re happy to provide an estimate and you’ll often see a noticeable difference versus dealer pricing, all while receiving equal or better care). Those are just a few of the questions we often answer. Check out the FAQs below for more insights. And if you have a different question about your Land Rover’s care, reach out to us. We’re always happy to help fellow Land Rover owners make informed decisions about their vehicles.
