Stagshaw Land Rover
Stagshaw was born in the North East of England by a group of highly skilled Land Rover enthusiasts. We are passionate about the Land Rover, Range Rover and Defender brand. We have all the knowledge in house to diagnose any issue and the capabilities to undertake any Land Rover or Range Rover associated project.
At Stagshaw, we’re able to perform anything from routine servicing to engine and bodywork repairs. Our mechanics have the skills and equipment to work on any Land Rover, from the early series Land Rovers to the latest production models.
Our speciality is in the Iconic Defender, where we undertake chassis changes, engine swaps, and interior/exterior modifications on a daily basis. However, we are equally at home working on the latest Evoque, Velar, or full-size Range Rover.

Maintain your Land Rover
Your land Rover is one of the most capable vehicles on the road. We aim to keep it that way. Stagshaw are here to keep your vehicle reliable and enjoyable. We’re passionate about doing it right. We follow all the Land Rover approved processes, use only quality approved or genuine Land Rover parts and have all the knowledge, equipment and diagnostic ability to undertake any Land Rover maintenance task from an early series vehicle to the latest generation of luxury offroaders.
We do prefer preventative maintenance than corrective as this has been proven to save both time and costs over the lifetime of a vehicle. Therefore please do not hesitate to contact us if you feel your vehicle is not as it should be or just needs an approved service and MOT. We’re here to help.
Rebuilding an Icon
The heart of Stagshaw is rebuilding and renovating the iconic Defender. As such, we have knowledge and experience working on every Land Rover model from every decade. Starting with the early Land Rover Series to the Later Defender that ceased production in 2016.
We offer bespoke chassis up vehicle renovations. These range from chassis changes, bulkhead repairs, Colour swaps / paintwork and engine works to the ultimate customisation of the more modern vehicles. We work on the interior, exterior, drive train. Come talk to us and we will listen, design and reinvent your dream Defender.

We know how to adapt your vehicle to meet your expectations. We can make them more refined, more luxurious, or more rugged and aggressive. We work with you on the interior and exterior and can replace or upgrade any aspect of your car that is not to your exacting standards.
