Award Winning
Les worked in a Land Rover dealership for 11 years before establishing Les Potts 4 Wheel Drive in April 1997.
Over the years, Les has picked up many accolades for his work, most notably in 1995 he became the national winner of the inaugural Land Rover Autocourse, which focused on new technology developments across the product range. In 1996, Les was discouraged from entering to give other technicians a better chance!
Not to be outdone, Alan Price, workshop supervisor at Les Potts 4 Wheel Drive since its formation in 1997, was the national winner of the Thomas Adams Award in 2002 for best IMI National Technical Student and is now an Associate Member of the Institute of the Motor Industry.
Years Of Experience
In 2005, Les Potts 4 Wheel Drive became a founder member of The Network of 4X4 Specialists.
According to research undertaken by the Network, 78% of Land Rover owners believe that vehicle servicing and repairs at dealerships are too expensive. Yet at least 80% of four wheel drive vehicles under 4 years old are serviced by their main dealer. The issue of price has been noted by the Office of Fair Trading who, in a report from December 2003, said: The evidence indicates that franchised dealers are significantly more expensive than independent garages and there is no clear difference in quality between the services offered by each.
Furthermore Les Potts 4 Wheel Drive is a member of both the Institute of Motor Industry Brass Plaque scheme and the Retail Motor Industry Federation and by adhering at all times to the strict codes of conduct set out by these organisations we enhance our quality service even further!
