Megawatt

My 2 year old (circa 12k mile) Skoda Superb is with the dealer this morning (Murray Skoda in Plymouth) for its annual service (£260 with brake fluid change) and I asked for the wheels to be rotated front to rear as I always do to even out the wear. Just had the call from the dealer to take payment and was told that there is a £72 charge for this!!!! This is absolutely disgraceful, I’m 60 years of age and this is the first time I’ve ever been charged at all for this in 43 years of services with several manufacturers but to be charged such a ludicrous sum for what is no more than 5 minutes work is simply outrageous. even if it’s 15 minutes for a laggard, this is an hourly rate of £288!!!! Skoda should not be treating loyal customers in this way. I’ll now pop down to my local tyre fitters who will do it for a tenner. Didn’t realise main dealerships were ripping folk off in this way so thought I’d share to alert others.

Hi all, Picked up my new Superb Elegance (170 DSG Auto Saloon, Rosso Rossini Red with Ivory Interior) yesterday. Absolutely delighted with this car, it's the eighth new car I've owned (and my very first diesel) and it's the best of the lot by a country mile. What a ride, great to drive and so quiet and smooth ... AMAZING gearbox, it's like there's no gears at all! My last two cars have both been 2.4 Exec Auto Accord Saloons which are great cars to drive but nothing like as smooth and quiet as the Superb. Already bonded with this car and really looking forward to spending some quality time behind the wheel. Seems like a really useful forum also. Rgds to everyone Andy
