Servicing in the North East

rongagain · 26-04-2006, 17:48

Anybody care to recommend a Skoda garage for servicing in the North East?

Also any independent garages that would qualify for keeping the warranty?

I know as long as they use genuine VAG parts etc then that is ok, but any specialists out there?

Thanks

JBS Autodesigns are based in Chesterfield which is in South Yorkshire, I suppose this is the nearest place which is a VAG specialist near/in the North East.

I dont know where about in the North East you are , but I know theres Silbury Skoda in Cramlington and Tweedmouth Skoda in Berwick , I havent used Silbury but I can reccomend Tweedmouth.

Derek Slack Motors is the Skoda dealer in the Teesside area.

I can recommend Slacks, they have always played fair with me and they don't add things on to their original quotes for servicing.

You could have a look in the reviews section for dealers:

Click here for North East Dealers

Just to get on my hobby horse again; if people use a dealer, please add a review. Ta!

Cheers

Daz, check the reviews section - they get very good reviews on the servicing.

There is 2 Philip Wilks.

One in Durham, one in Darlington.

shorty · 28-04-2006, 10:21

yep, I use the one in Durham and the prices have always been very good especially for servicing when compared with others on here.

Ok so just had a lube service at Phil Wilkes, Darlington, done at 8700 miles (just over 6 months old) and it cost £101.44.

That includes £8 for getting rid of the old oil???
As well as £5.82 for additive which aren't supposed to be used according to what I have read on here!

I need an annual in 6 months and I have been told that will be £170.

So expected £271 for 17000 miles and one year.

Will be more in year two
