got my Octavia Elegance 1.9TDI from there and have ordered my Fabia vRS 1.9TDI from there too!


I only have minor niggles with them which could be the fault of my insurance company rather than Prestons.

Bought my Furby VRS there. Very helpful and gave me a great price on the car & a great deal on my part ex.

Had my Fabia vRS 20K service done at Preston, Forest Gate and found them helpful, efficent (they didn't misplace my service record like a previous dealer) and friendly. Recommend and will use again.

I've bought 3 fabias from Prestons. Find them friendly and efficient. Always polite and always return phone calls. Would recommend them every time

I would have a look at a few other dealers in the area, as you may get a good deal at one a bit nearer, if only for completion sake, but as I've said on an earlier post, I've not really had any problems with them.

They basically charged you an hours labour for looking at the car and resetting the fault codes. Think of it what you will (I obviously don't know how long they spent with itand what the did), but £70 an hour labour is probably the going rate for a main dealer in London.

It's what I paid labour wise when I had my car serviced there a few months ago.

Had no problems with this dealer, but had to twist their arm to get a good PX price.

Going to do a test drive with them tomorrow.
First tried laser Skoda in Harlow. Twice they failed to return phone calls, after I asked if I could test drive a 4x4.
Trans City in Walthamstow I have issues with after problems with a Felicia.
Rang David Trott at Prestons and said I wanted to test drive a 4x4 and was concerned as to what a Jumbo Box was, as wife and are are both on the large side.
David pointed out that I didn't need to test a 4x4, as it wouldn't kick in, so we are testing an Elegance 1.9, which will show us the engine and the jumbo box.
No problems at all when I asked if we could have it for a couple of hours, time to run up the M11 and really try it, not just a run round the block.
Let you know if I do the deed!

did the test drive. Picked the car (Elegance 1.9tdi) up at 10.30 and was told to bring it back by 5.30,,please. Did the test, very nice! Went back and placed the order - took 2 hours and David was very meticulous, checking every line against the Skoda on-line ordering system to ensure that items were correct Saved me several hundred quid by knowing that the statement in the brochure, that tow bars are dealer fit, is incorrect. Brochure £253 for the bar, £180 for the electrics, plus about 3 hours fitting. Ex factory the whole lot is £231!!

Rang me back on July 1st, as this months offer is a Scout for 4x4 money. How many salesmen would have done that? Declined as I want the 1.9, not the 2.0
