Just got my F-Pace back from our 12 month service, and had a very good experience! I have not had any of the issues that were common with the first 2017's (spring isolators, etc.), so this was our first visit to the service bay. Consequently, I made no special requests -- just was looking for the standard 12 month service.
Upon booking the appointment, I was offered a loaner car. I know this is expected at many/most dealers, but I had thought that my local dealer (Brown's Jaguar Midlothian - from whom I did NOT buy the car) didn't offer them. That turned out to be handy, as I got a call in the afternoon to let me know that the service wouldn't be finished on day 1. The loaner was a 2.5t XE - a pretty fun little car.
Why 2 days? It turns out they had a lot to do. In addition to the standard fluid changes and inspections, they did the following:
Total price for all of it: $0. I'm glad I didn't have to wait for symptoms to appear for the recall services to be performed. My car was nicely washed and everything is working beautifully upon pickup. And though I had some fun with the XE, the F-Pace feels so much more substantial. Nice to have my baby back!

- K417 - Performed recall installed felt pad on each side of rear cross bar
- K434 - Performed recall replaced ECM

- K445 - Performed recall checked coolant levels
- K440 - Performed recall inspected lower control arm
- K452 - Performed recall tie rod track end
