Stratstone Land Rover is set to close its Slough showroom on August 31.
After the closure, motorists will need to travel to Reading for their nearest store.
Other alternatives include Tonbridge, Mayfair, Tottenham and Milton Keynes.
Customers were informed of the closure via email.
The motor company said its central client care team will handle vehicle finance, workshop bookings and servicing.
The email was subsequently shared across social media, although their website is yet to be updated.
It reads: "As a valued client of Stratstone Land Rover Slough, we are writing to inform you that as part of a strategic regional restructure, we have taken the decision to permanently close our Slough showroom on 31 August 2025.
"I understand this closure may raise questions about vehicle finance workshop bookings and servicing so I'd like to assure you that Stratstone is committed to supporting you throughout your ownership experience, and I encourage you to contact our central care client team if we can help in any way."
The store provided a range of services to customers.
This included the sale of new and used cars, servicing, MOTs and tyre replacements.

Reviews of the site averaged 3.1 stars from 649 Google reviews.
Some reviewers complained of faulty cars being purchased with difficulty getting it repaired.
One wrote: "As you can see by the ratings, this dealership is one to avoid."
However, others were more positive as one wrote: "Had a great experience purchasing my new car."
Last month, Jaguar Land Rover announced its plans to delay the launch of its electric vehicles.
It claimed it was to "allow more time for demand".
Deliveries of the Range Rover electric were due to begin in late 2025 but this has now been delayed until next year.
It still maintained it would sell electric versions for all its brands by 2030.
Prior to this, it said it would axe up to 500 jobs in the UK, largely in managerial roles.
It was partially caused by concerns around increased tariffs.
