Shock, horror...Genuine OE parts cheap at Skoda dealer in Switzerland

[Wile7]

I popped by my local dealer to get a touch up can for my car (no Halfords or similar in Switzerland really - car DIY is not popular it seems except amongst petrol heads ) and had a browse at the parts lists and prices.

Not too bad!

Things like floor mats and mud flaps very cheap (mud flaps at 7.99 chr a pair) and mats (textile set) at 29.99chf plus several other bits and bobs. When you factor in p&p from overseas the price is actually very competitive (and in some cases cheaper) to buy here.

Well, what do you know.... . Always worth checking the dealer parts bin just in case...

I was joking about the p&p but you highlighted my point - the cost of postage on heavy or bulky items from Switzerland would diminish any possible gain on price.

My point was that it is always worth visiting your local dealer first just to get a price on a genuine part - you never know...you may be surprised. I was
