Any good independent garages around oxford?

Does anybody have any good recommendations for a independent garage around the oxfordshire area as the RR needs it's first service in my ownership. I have only found James French near Witney but have not heard anything about them either good or bad. MY2007 S/C - Stornoway / Jet

Frogs Island 4x4 in Didcot/ Abingdon! They are good guys, great facilities, real 4x4 and off road specialists, many parts on the shelf and very quickly source anything not in stock. Labour rate at the high end of what I'd pay (£60/hour), but if you need a 4x4 specialist I'd go with them. I use my tame mechanic for non-specialist stuff!

I met James French when I was skiing once. He was a real gent. He bought a Rangie from me too. Was good to deal with.

Impressive set up, though this was many years ago.

Might be a bit too far for you, but I use Rovertune in Reading. great set-up and the owner, Rob, goes out of his way to look after his customers.

In the passed I have used Neil at E.H douglas, can be a pit pricey on parts but knowledge on the landrovers/RangeRovers is very good.

Have used James French for years first with my P38 & now the current L322 which I bought from them. Steve the workshop manager is font of all knowledge.

Servicing prices are pretty reasonable (far better then Harwell Land Rover) & customer service very good, facilities are first class.

Cheers
