The short answer
At Autobedrijf Willemsbrug in Rotterdam-IJsselmonde, your Land Rover gets a minor or major service according to the manufacturer’s service schedule. If your Land Rover is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, the warranty stays valid as long as the servicing follows the manufacturer’s schedule, even if you do not go to the dealer.
The price depends on the model, the engine and the mileage. Call +31 10 479 00 00 with your registration number and mileage, and we will tell you in advance what the service costs. You can also visit our workshop.
If you combine a major service with the APK (MOT), the inspection is free. You drop off your Land Rover Monday to Friday between 8.00 and 8.30 am, or on Saturday at 9.00 am. If extra work is needed, we call you first.

Why have your Land Rover serviced at Autobedrijf Willemsbrug?
We are an independent garage for all makes and an RDW-approved APK station. We service your Land Rover to the manufacturer’s specification, with parts and oil that suit your car.
Many Land Rovers are heavy and have air suspension, four-wheel drive and a ZF automatic gearbox. We pay attention to these at every service. Many Defenders and Discoverys are registered with a grey number plate. We service those too, as vans up to 3,500 kg.
What servicing does the manufacturer specify for your Land Rover?
Land Rover sets a service schedule for each engine, with an interval in kilometres and a time limit in years. Whichever comes first applies.
Land Rover specifies its own oil standard for each engine, the STJLR standard. On many 2.0 diesels (Ingenium), for example, that is 0W-30 oil to STJLR.03.5007. Oil with a different standard does not fit the schedule. We use the oil specified for your engine.
We use your registration number to look up which service your Land Rover needs and, where possible, we read the service indicator. After the service, we reset the service reminder, if our equipment can do this.
Minor or major service for your Land Rover?
Which service your car needs depends on the model, the engine, the age and the mileage. A minor and a major service usually include the following:
| Part | Minor service | Major service |
|---|---|---|
| Engine oil and oil filter | Change and replace | Change and replace |
| Fluids | Check and top up if needed | Check, change the brake fluid if the schedule requires it |
| Brakes and tyres | Check for wear | Thorough check, including brake discs and brake pads |
| Filters | Check | Replace the air filter and cabin filter according to the schedule |
| Spark plugs (petrol) | Not standard | Replace at the manufacturer’s interval |
| Battery | Check | Test with a battery tester |
| Timing belt (if the engine has one) | Not standard | Check whether the belt is due for replacement at the set interval |
| APK | Book separately | Free if you combine it with a major service |

What do we check when servicing your Land Rover?
At every service we follow the manufacturer’s schedule. For your Land Rover, we also pay extra attention to these points:
Also read about the APK for a van and reading fault codes (in Dutch), for example on the air suspension.
Servicing a plug-in hybrid Land Rover
The Range Rover and Range Rover Sport P400e and P440e and the Evoque and Discovery Sport P300e are plug-in hybrids. The petrol engine gets oil and filters according to the Land Rover schedule, even if you drive mostly on electric power. Because these cars often brake using the electric motor, the brake discs get little use and can rust. We also check the battery cooling.
Our mechanics hold a GMTO certificate (the Dutch qualification for working on high-voltage systems). This means they are trained to work safely on the high-voltage systems of hybrid and electric cars. Read more about servicing hybrid and electric cars (in Dutch).
How much does a service for your Land Rover cost?
The price of a service differs from car to car. The model, the engine, the specified oil and the mileage determine what needs to be done and which parts are needed. That is why we do not give an amount on this page.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty on your Land Rover stay valid?
Yes. Having your car serviced at an independent garage does not void your manufacturer’s warranty, as long as the servicing follows the manufacturer’s schedule and uses suitable parts and oil. This follows from the European rules for the motor industry. Extra warranties or mobility services from the brand may be linked to servicing at a dealer. We record the service in our system and, if you have a service book, in that too. You receive an invoice listing all the work. Keep it in a safe place.
