Customers of Columbia Rovers consistently have stories like this to tell:

In June of 2008 we became proud owners of a 1995 Land Rover Discovery. We unfortunately knew very little about the vehicle. My husband noticed that the needed to have the Sway-bar on the Land Rover fixed. We called around and found a local tire company in Salem, Oregon (where we live) could give us best time line and price in town. We were told that it would take a day to fix it, however it actually took four days as we were waiting for the parts from the only dealer in Portland that dealt with Land Rovers. At least that is what this tire company told us.

We were so disappointed with the way that the tire company was treated by this dealer in Portland that we were really were not looking forward to taking our vehicle up there to that dealer in Portland, Oregon. I suggested to my husband that since we knew so little about the Discovery, and what needed to be repaired and that unfortunately no one in Salem, OR could help us that we had to find a company other then the one that the tire company had dealt with. My husband began looking on Craig’s List to see if anyone else had any information about Land Rover’s and that is where we found Columbia Rovers! We are so happy that we found them. We talked to Ken and Brent at Columbia Rovers. They were both very knowledgeable about our Discovery! They let us know that they would work around our schedule, money, and issues with our vehicle. Not only that they offered to let us drive another Land Rover while they were fixing ours. That meant that we wouldn’t have to go out of our way to get another car to rent while they were fixing ours. This really put us at ease especially since we live in Keizer, OR; have two boys and busy schedules. We didn’t want to be with out a car. When we got to Portland we were able to find their shop. Everyone was very nice; they helped us by listening to our questions and concerns. Ken kept in contact with us letting us know what was going on with our Discovery and just as they had told us the day the Discovery was to be fixed it was ready and we didn’t have to wait for anything. It was wonderful! I am going to call on Columbia Rovers for all of my Land Rover Discovery needs.

In fact… Recently our family was driving down I-5 just before the Terwilliger Curves when we blew a tire. Since we didn’t know of anyone in the area to call and we unfortunately we don’t have AAA I decided to take a chance and call Columbia Rovers. It was a Tuesday evening after 7:00pm and Brent answered the telephone. I was so surprised. I was just going to ask him if he knew of a tow truck company to call, but he asked why I was calling, I told him where we were and about the tire. He said that he could come out and take a look at it because no truck driver in town had the tools that could fix it. I was so impressed. Within 30 min there he was on the ground with my husband changing the tire! It was the most satisfying experience. I cannot begin tell you how impressed our family is with this company. They really care about their customers. So all I can say is that I will always continue to call on Columbia Rovers for all of my Land Rover Discovery needs!
