Warranty Work

[myke]

Just over 1 week into ownership of my 04 1.9D Forte, 250 miles and I love it. :) Although I live in Carlsile I bought it in Scotland so took it to my local dealer for some warranty work. Right hand indicator stopped working so a new Com 2000 was fitted. Sounds familiar does it? Vibration from front end when accelerating so they fitted an Air Intake PI, whatever that is. A bit dischuffed as, on returning home after collection, I found that the larger rear seat wouldnt tilt forward as one of the locking cords was broken despite the Used Vehicle Inspection report saying"All seats, check stability and adjustment" was ticked off. Charged £17:74 for fitting two new cords. For a £6000 plus motor I feel justified in sending the bill to the original dealer. Salesman didnt even know about the cubby hole under the drivers seat so promised to send the manuals and Service History etc on to me when I asked about them. Only found where they were through this forum. Once again, Inspection Report said they were all present so he should have known that.

I also belong to the Skoda Owners Club Forum as I Classic Trial a Skoda Estelle. They have a 'Rate a Dealer' section on their site. Any one think that would be worthwhile on this site?

I have been in owners clubs where comments were made about dealers. In this ever litigious World it might be worth just making good comments about dealers who provide best service and just not listing the bad ones. In this way no one can get sued for liable and also only the recommended garages get a mention (and business).
