Overland Worx becomes the new name in independent Land Rover service, maintenance and repair Johannesburg, South Africa XX March 2018:  South African independent Land Rover workshop Landyworx has undergone a rebrand and refresh to create the ultimate 4x4 lifestyle and high-tech service centre.

Under the new operating name of Overland Worx, the workshop has the same great people, the same service and the same incredible passion for the iconic 4x4 brand, but with a fresh logo, branding and array of services designed to meet the needs of the Land Rover owner and enthusiast. “Our workshop has state of the art, sophisticated diagnostics equipment with collective Land Rover repair and maintenance experience that spans more than 75 years,” says Peter Street, owner and founder of Overland Worx. “We are passionate about the brand, the technology and the 4x4 culture and our workshop is AA Quality Assured Accredited and RMI graded.

We have built a solid reputation as a company that genuinely cares about our customers and their cars.” Overland Worx is a member of the Industry Ombudsman of South Africa, delivers a 107-point check minimum with every service, and includes a team of more than 20 skilled mechanical professionals.

The company is using the rebrand to take their passion for Land Rover and the 4x4 community to create a lifestyle experience for its customers. Over the next few months, it is set to host a series of Tips, Tricks & Traps workshops that give Land Rover owners, of all makes and model, insight into how to repair, understand and get the most from their vehicles. Overland Worx has also hired a tour guide and is in the process of designing tailor-made self-drive tours for its customers. “We have already pinned down the logistics for a six-week drive through Namibia towards the end of 2018, and we are planning a number of shorter events locally,” adds Street. “In addition, we are working with the Reach for a Dream foundation to raise funds by creating exclusive and exciting 4x4 events designed to appeal to the enthusiast and novice alike.” Overland Worx provides Land Rover owners with comprehensive maintenance, repair and performance support and services to ensure that vehicles run at peak efficiency.

Every member of the team has a Land Rover of their own and is deeply entrenched in the ethos, community and lifestyle - they understand what Land Rover owners want and deliver it. “We can help anyone get the most from their Land Rover, whether they are new to the brand or old hands,” concludes Street. “We will help the newcomer get to know their vehicle and what it is capable of, ensuring they know how to look after it properly. And we support the expert in expanding their knowledge and keeping their car in optimum shape.”

Set to take place from 22-25 September 2017, the Land Rover Waterford Festival 2017 will give Land Rover enthusiasts the chance to put the All New Discovery through its 4x4 paces.

They will also experience exclusive exhibits, a brand new 4x4 course, demonstrations and more. All the funds from the event are being donated to the Pittrack K9 conservation unit, a canine anti-poaching non-profit organisation protecting rhino and lion from being hunted and killed by well-armed and well-equipped poachers.“Land Rover Waterford is extremely excited to be involved with Pittrack and supporting the important work that they do,” says Darryl Harper, Dealer Principal, Land Rover Waterford.

“Their fresh approach is making a much-needed impact on poaching and their commitment reflects our own – to make South Africa a better place in the future by protecting our wildlife.

The Land Rover Waterford Festival 2017 is an important opportunity for us all to make a stand against poaching and, of course, to showcase our Land Rover’s capabilities.

”The event will see Plumari Private Reserve (home to Askari Game Lodge) reveal their brand new 4x4 course designed by the Land Rover Owner’s Club to challenge even the most advanced drivers. The perfect opportunity for the 4x4 enthusiast to test their mettle and be the first to break stony ground.

The Land Rover aficionado will also appreciate an exhibit of Land Rovers from 1948 to today and, for those who want to show off their own customised Land Rovers, there will be prizes and accolades for the serious collectors. Among the exhibitions will be the Land Rover Experience Terrapod, the Askari beer garden and two anti-poaching demonstrations a day.

The demonstrations will be hosted by Pittrack and will showcase the extraordinary poacher hunting abilities of these dogs.

“The Plumari Private Reserve and Askari Game Lodge are grateful to the men and women of Pittrack for their selfless contribution and sacrifice for the protection of our rhinos,” says Daniela McCormick, Plumari Group.

The Land Rover Waterford Festival 2017 will include plenty of exhibits, demonstrations, 4x4 expertise, food and entertainment. The cost is only R100 per vehicle and R25 per person per day, and there will be merchandise on sale on both the website and at the event. The goal is to raise funds for Pittrack while ensuring that everyone has the ultimate 4x4 weekend.

The Land Rover Waterford Festival will run an annual basis to support the anti-poaching unit.
