Fantastic customer service from start to finish, I will certainly be using Cult 4x4 again. A breath of fresh air compared to main dealers, these are proper enthusiasts. A call is highly recommended!

Called on Cult 4x4 again this time to service our Freelander 2. Once again top service and a thorough job. Very pleased.

John and his team did a good job on my 130 Defender TD5. Gave John a list of what I wanted done. One quick and clear quote later and it was booked in for a few weeks down the line. Work was completed in good time and done well.

We absolutely could not recommend John and his team at Cult more highly. Not only are they incredibly knowledgeable, excited by what they do and entirely professional but they always go the extra mile- ensuring we wouldn’t go anywhere else and returning time and again. You can’t help but warm to John from the minute you meet him, his enthusiasm and genuine nature can be hard to come by, we trust him implicitly and can’t thank him enough for all the work he’s done for us.

John and his team have been absolutely outstanding. From a new chassis to replacing tiny relays, there’s no job too big or too small. They’re not pushy, give you an honest opinion, and are on the end of the phone any time to discuss. I had some issue when visiting home up in Scotland and he spoke to my mechanic up there, and how to set her up for the long drive back, and promised me he would come and get me if I broke down! Some service. Wouldn’t take her anywhere else.

John and his team are friendly, helpful and supportive, clearly focused on delivering a good job and building good relationships.

Good communication and photo updates through bigger jobs, and will persevere in getting acute issues sorted and problems solved quickly when needed.

Sensible advice on economies and prioritising safety.

Courtesy car incredibly helpful and can stick to a budget.

Evidently know the older vehicles well, which is becoming a rare thing.

Happy to give time to listen to owners' concerns - reassuring and helpful especially as a woman running a 30-year old car. I've seen an array of clients coming in and out and Cult treats everybody with respect, and as an individual, while remaining committed to a high standard of work.

One of the best things I’ve ever done was to pick up the phone and call Cult 4x4. I was hunting for an original Defender and needed some basic advice as my knowledge was a bit rusty. John, the owner, couldn’t have been more helpful or knowledgeable. I visited him several times, discussing all the options available. No hard sales pitch, just straightforward advice. My budget kept shifting downward, but John remained incredibly accommodating. We settled on a 2003 TD5 pickup that had been sitting in a field for 8 years, and he completely rebuilt it to my spec, staying within budget. Stripped to the chassis, fully repainted to my colour choice (they have got a paint booth on site), and rebuilt from the ground up and turned into a station wagon to fit all the family, it was exactly what I had started out looking for. It’s now a Defender my family and I dearly love and will do for years to come. If you need a Defender and don’t know where to start, do what I did and give John a call. You won’t regret it!

Recently switched to using Cult with my 90. Excellent service throughout, and they make it very easy to deal with them versus the local competitors. Great communication, including service updates via WhatsApp. Informative technicians who take the time to explain the work they’ve undertaken. John and George super friendly and willing to help you out on any issues. Courtesy car a when needed a big bonus.
John very kindly came over to our place when the LR wouldn’t start. Highly recommend anyone needing work doing or possibly looking to purchase a Defender. Some stunning builds going on in the workshop.
Once John gets the Instagram sorted they’ll be the full package! 😂
