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.

What our clients say...
Posted on Carl VincentFebruary 8, 2026. I'm very grateful to Josh and his team. I was visiting my parents in the NE in my 110 when the clutch went. They promptly organised a recovery and thereafter I received clear information on costs and timings and the repairs were completed on time at reasonable cost. I was even picked up from the station on a Saturday morning so that I could collect the vehicle before a long drive back to Kent. Friendly, helpful, customer focused and professional. I would recommend them.Posted on Ian MorrisonJanuary 12, 2026. Great service from very knowledgeable and friendly team. Had my Discovery Sport recovered to stagshaw following a recommendation from the AA technician. Stagshaw diagnosed the electrical fault within 24 hours and the part was ordered, when the part arrived it was promptly fitted and coded to the car and I had the car back swiftly. I don't normally leave reviews but these guys certainly deserve the feedback. I know that this is similar to other reviews but it my personal experience that I want to share.Posted on Ben HeslopDecember 18, 2025. Exceptional service from start to finish from the whole team. From discussing the work needed, communication while the work was underway to the finished job, everything was how it should be. The whole Stagshaw family made upgrading our beloved 90 as simple as possible with expert advice as well as great workmanship. We have already booked back in for the next set of upgrades an can’t wait. Thank you to Josh l, Michael and all the team.Posted on Ian CunninghamDecember 16, 2025.

Amazing service, honest and so reliable. Couldn’t recommend enough!Posted on Alan SilOctober 26, 2025. Josh and his team were recommended to me as Landrover specialists when I had an issue with my Discovery Sport. Taking the car in Josh made an initial suggestion (from my poor explanation of the symptoms) that the turbo was failing and that diagnostic checks would confirm the problem. Full diagnostics including Landrover software confirmed suspicions and that the turbo needed to be replaced. Obviously a big and expensive job however Josh gave me the confidence that this would rectify the problem. Gave a timeframe for completing the job and clear explanation of how it would be done. I explained I was going on holiday shortly and needed the car to tow a caravan. Time was very tight but Josh juggled a few things, and the team got the car back to me two days earlier than expected. I received a follow up call to check all was well with the car and that I got away on holiday ok. I thoroughly recommend Stagshaw for their product expertise, diagnostic capabilities and customer service at what was quite a stressful time for me. I now know that they can also carry out servicing to Landrover spec, including updating the online service record.Posted on 450TVRchimaeraSeptember 3, 2025. Michael is an excellent chap - he manages the business and is extremely knowledgeable. The service is excellent- I trusted them to complete some major work on my Range Rover Sport - would recommend.Posted on J DSeptember 2, 2025. Josh, Michael and the Team at Stagshaw are very knowledgeable and provide great customer service. Was wondering where I was going to take my Defender and was more than happy that I came across Stagshaw. All services and minor issues have been dealt with promptly and full explanation of what was required to be or had been done.Posted on George MaySeptember 1, 2025. I’m not one for leaving reviews- possibly a week in a beautiful cottage nestled in the moors or a cordon bleu meal from an untrained hand and most likely not even then. I don’t do social media nor celeb watching. You might surmise I’m over 45 and you’d be right. Writing a review for a garage would therefore be beyond my usual modus operandi. Suffice to say Josh and his team got my family and I out of a pickle faster than an over paid Swedish striker bites the hand that feedeth him. We were in the north east for a funeral when our Discovery 4 - the only machine I’ve found suitable for manoeuvring 4 children, 2 large dogs, luggage and paraphilia for an outdoors holiday in the uk - let us down. Heaven and earth was moved to get us on our way within 48 hours and the damage to my finances easier to swallow than the pathetic excuses of another tax hike from our blessed government. If you are in need of work head to Stagshaw. Now back to my crossword and pipe. pip pip.Google rating score: 4.8 of 5, based on 105 reviews
