Hi all,
 

I have a Skoda Octavia that I believe had a paint work repair done by Skoda back in 2022. I have receipt for this work, although I wasn't the owner at the time. The repair receipt doesn't detail much.

I believe paint work repairs come with a 3 year warranty? Does anyone know where I would stand with this?

I'm having issues with paint flaking / peeling and dulling on the door and bonnet. I've taken this to a bodyshop who advised it looks like a failure from a previous repair and the door has definitely been replaced at some point.
 

Take it I've got no chance? 😆

Only thing I can suggest (from my experience with dealer claims) is to first ascertain if they did the work in this area, and if they acknowledge/accept they did the work.

 

With it proven that they've touched it, then you can go back.

Thanks, it's a shame the receipt doesn't go into much detail. I'll contact them and see what information I can get out of them.

Surely if a repair has been completed under warranty, and you have a receipt, then you have someone to go back to, to ask if the work they completed should be expected to be flaking and peeling already?

It's not warranty paint repair. The receipt just mentions damage repair and when taking my car to a body shop they have said the panel has been repainted in the past. I'm just trying to put 2+2 together and hoping it was the repair the receipt is for. Bit of a long stretch potentially.

All in the detail / facts and getting them confirmed.

Was there an Authorised Warranty repair carried out by an Authorised repairer.
