Winter 2022
As we come towards the end of 2022, since our last post in the Summer celebrating the Platinum jubilee, we have had the death of our beloved Queen Elizabeth and a new King appointed, King Charles III, whose coronation will be held in 2023. I am sure that this shocked you as much as it did us, it was a terrible time of mourning but our Queen had a most spectacular send off.
Since the Summer we have taken on a new member of staff to help in the workshop Bailey, and he is getting use to the quirky ways of Land Rovers. Chris had her 60th birthday celebrations with our office fully decorated for the occasion.
Our annual Christmas celebration was this year held in Amsterdam, and apart from the obvious there, what an amazing place. Highly recommended and well worth a visit.
We have this year, as reported earlier, replaced more engines than ever before and also suffered more parts being on back order. This of course has caused us challenging times and as we go into 2023, we still have 2 parts on back order from early September with no signs of an ETA. This is down to a world wide shortage on components probably from the knock on effect of COVID.
Finally, with everyone suffering from the cost of living rises, we have tried as much as possible not to increase our costs even though everything has gone up. We hope to help people still afford an MOT and service and any repairs that may be required. If you need anything please do not hesitate to contact us on 01322 614044 or email chris@dakar.co.uk
We look forward to seeing you in 2023 and look forward to meeting new customers as well as our existing customers.
