Garage Name: Russell Automotive Centre

Telephone: 0208 200 0995

Address: Kingsbury, London, NW9 8AU

Website: http://rac-london.co.uk

My Car: Skoda Octavia VRS 2.0 Petrol (63)

Work Carried Out: 3rd service, genuine original parts used, oil, oil filter, pollen filter, Inspection and Lubrication service. Service interval reset, also had air-con re-gassed (not part of the service) 

Review: First time I've used these guys & the service was great, I waited in the waiting area which has a big long glass window so you can see the mechanics working on vehicles, service was around 2hours & 30mins, based on the level of service I received, I would use these guys in the future.

 

EDIT:

But when I got home I found the 2 black screw caps for the air-con pipes left by my windscreen scuttle panel (wipers area) so the mechanic forgot to put these back on, luckily I didn't have to travel far to get back home otherwise they could of easily been lost. (easy mistake, not a major one)

 

Vehicle service wise so far so good & have no doubt in recommending this garage to fellow Briskoda members based on my review.

Work Carried Out: 4th service carried out at 34,420 miles, genuine parts used, oil, oil filter, air filter, pollen filter, DSG filter, DSG oil, spark plugs, oil seal, brake fluid, front brake pads, Major inspection service, Service interval reset.

 

Review: Second time I have been to Unit18 (1st time was retro fit cruise control) & the service I received is spot on, much better than any Skoda main dealer has to offer especially when it comes to knowledge & customer satisfaction, Jason from Unit18 worked on my car with everything done to perfection, overall time was around 5-6 hours & the great thing is! that you can even chat to the mechanic while he is working on you're vehicle & you can clearly see everything that is being done, Unit18 is my main place for my Skoda vRS 2.0T petrol for anything that needs doing, 100% recommend using these guys, friendly & very honest, I travel from London to Milton Keynes which is around an hour there & back, I could easily use a few Skoda Main Dealer's/Independent specialists around my area but to be honest the service from Unit18 is second to none, I can't rate them enough.

Wheelbase Garage Ltd

Good Garage Guide Reviews

 

I had the dash light up like a Christmas tree on the way to Ireland. ABS, ACC, TPS, HHC, ESC, Cornering Lights, Front and Rear Traffic Alert, Lane Assist, Front and Rear Parking Pilot and Blindspot detection all unavailable. Called all the “local” Skoda Dealers and none could see the car for three weeks or four if I wanted a chargeable courtesy car.

 

I called Wheelbase last Saturday and the 280 was booked in today 10th August with a free courtesy car. The problem was solved (failed wheel Speed Sensor) and they corrected the off centre steering wheel too. 
 

Brilliant service, great prices and very, very nice people. I’ll be getting the car serviced there from now on. Recommended unreservedly.
