Hi All. I've had my new to me Superb (2015 SE 140 TDI) for almost a week and so far all good.
one thing that has puzzled me is the Service book, or rather lack of service book. The car is a 1 owner from new with excellent service history, receipts for everything, and all done on time etc. Just there is no book with dealer or Indy garage stamps. I have the Service Schedule book, but no where is there anywhere to record date, mileage, service type etc?
Is this normal?

Seller told me its all stored electronically now, so do I need to contact Skoda for info?

Yes, but ideally you would do this before spending out on the car.

Thanks. I'm not worried, I've got the original print outs from Skoda for the services done in the first 3 years, and the same from the local indy garage thereafter. Just seems odd that a simple booklet for garage stamps is not supplied. Might buy on on Fleabay going forward, just my own records more than anything. 

@Labman20It was from 2012/13 that they stopped getting put into new Skoda in the UK.

 

Plenty buy them on ebay, and stamps and make a false service history, as has been the case for many a year.

The only vehicle I have ever bought from a garage was a 2 old 1984 Mitsubishi Shogun, I asked about the service book and the dealer said "I'll go and look for it, why don't you go for another test drive to make sure you are happy with the other work we did for you?"

 

I knew exactly what was happening and when we returned (quickly) he was flustered, all the details had been filled in with the same pen and the ink was not yet dry!

 

I just looked him in the eye and his expression said it all!

 

I drove that vehicle for 2 or 3 years, put loads of miles on it, probably 50K, used it for a couple of years in  AWDC Trials winning my class so it took quite a battering yet I sold it privately for £50 more than I had paid from a dealer which was already over the Glasses guide value, such was the popularity and shortage of them then.
