I have a Fabia 1.4 3cylinder diesel on a 57 plate with 29k on the clock and it's due a service.  Question is where do I take it for a good service and avoid garages that don't care and do a poor job?  I live in Bourne in south Lincolnshire.  Nearest Skoda dealers to me are:

 

Wings in Peterborough

Dennis Horton in Lincoln

Albar Autos in Mountsorrel, Leicester

Sandicliffe in Nottingham

Sandicliffe in Leicester

 

Also could the car be serviced by a non Skoda dealer? 

The car has Skoda warranty until October this year.

Any opinions, suggestions or advice would be most welcome.

Service done with parts to OEM standards won't affect the warranty.

Hi Mysteron and welcome to Briskoda.

 

I just wondered if you had spotted the section on dealer reviews:

Enjoy your Fabia.

Find a dealer that works to the 'Skoda Fixed Pricing' policy...

Fresh oil, oil filter, pollen filter, skoda stamp, diagnostic check, health check, wash and vac - £139.

Just to add the obvious and if like me your not after the skoda stamp in your service book, these 1.4 tdi 3 cylinders are the easiest car I've ever serviced myself, oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, pollen filter, all are so simple to do.
