I recently had my 2nd year service on the Octy carried out here and I was very impressed with the staff and the service provided.  My main reason for using them over Progress (Bedford) where I brought the car was that they were cheaper and they included the pollen filter that Progress wanted to charge extra for. I also got to try a Fabia coutesy car that I had always wanted to try - not bad for a small car!

I used to work there as a VW technician before they took on the Skoda franchise, massive site and good bunch of lads in the workshop, a great wealth of knowledge in the workshop with some very good techs.

Ive used several Skoda garages and have few complaints with any in truth. Wayside service does stand out as the best Ive seen, highly comprable to BMW (in the days before I converted to skoda). Been in today about a warrenty fault, service realy couldnt have been better. Two thumbs up from me.

Recently got my Greenline II from them and had a great service from the salesman Keith - I would recommend them anytime.

No experience of servicing yet...

After my earlier praise I'm not sure about them now.

I checked my oil at the weekend (first check since it was last serviced) and I noticed the top plastic cover wasn't clipped down properly and the hose on the left was flapping around and needed clipping back on. Car hasn't been to any garages and I dont touch it, so I can only assume it wasn't put togethor properly after Wayside serviced it.  Only minor things but it makes you wonder if they missed anything else on the service.

Bought my Superb and my wifes Octavia from Wayside and found the service to be excellent both from sales and service. the Superb has had 3 services and the Octy one and no problems at all

Purchased my Fabia Monte Carlo 1.6 TDi from Wayside Skoda Milton Keynes. Originally quoted 14-16 weeks to deliver from date of order. Arrived within 12 weeks. Was kept up to date virtually every week by Sam who was my salesman.

Don't have any experience from the service and parts side of the dealership, but will be very happy if it's as good as the sales side.

Definently recommend.

Following on from my previous post I am sad to say that I don't rate the aftersales

They had my car for a whole day, misdiagnosed a fault with my car which could of led to an expensive repair bill. Instead I went to an independent and they quickly found out what was wrong with it in the space of 15 minutes.

Under £200 to put right at an independent, versus almost £700 at main dealer. Both using genuine VAG parts.

Safe to say I won't be using this dealership for repairs/servicing in the future.

Like a lot of other blokes ,i'd ask why anyone in MK would go to a main dealer ,when in Old Wolverton is Unit 18 . I'm 50 miles away ,and for quality ,i'd sooner go the distance .

[gadgetman]

Hopefully they're better than the vw side whom I wouldn't touch with a barge pole for either sales or service from experience here and at another branch.

Has anyone got any recent experience with this branch?

Have my Skoda booked in tomorrow morning for a general inspection, but will likely be using to service my car, to keep the full Skoda Service History

Hi there.

Do you still keep in touch with them? Would be good to know answers to my above post
