I bought my car here, and all work on it since has been done by them. They are friendly and approachable, and seem to aim to please. The guy who sold me my car, Matt, is easy to get on with and not pushy.


Only minor niggles are over the time it took them to diagnose my two warranty faults - a coil pack!! and a stripped water pump. Both of these are common 1.8T failures so I feel somewhat justified in suggesting they should have been diagnosed quicker. Having said that, a courtesy car was provided (albeit it had to be swapped a couple of times), and I was kept reasonably well informed.


Servicing is performed to book, at very reasonable rates.


Overall, recommended. 8/10.

Purchased a Red Octavia vRS from Fish Brothers Skoda in Swindon and was very very pleased with the car and service. Couldn't of hoped for a better transaction and gave me a very very good price on my part exchange. Would recommend and have had no problems since the sale.

I also purchased a Red Octavia vRS from Matt at Fish Brothers Skoda in Swindon and was very pleased with the car and service I received. I had a problem with the switch transaction going through resulting in not being able to pick up my vRS until the following day. Matt even offered me use of there courtesy car to get to work that night if I needed it, then gave me a lift home. Waiting for my first service now, and at the rate I am putting miles on it won’t be too far away, so I will come back and add information after that.

had middle box of exhaust replaced (friday afternoon) - following tuesday exhaust fell in half - connector between front and middle box not tightened up.


Octavia vrs with no exhaust very loud!


Car not driveable - front box/catalyst just hanging 1" from ground - had to get home, and then back to work next day using buses, trains and taxis in the pouring rain (umbrella in car of course! duh) not nice, or cheap!


Not a happy bunny - service and sales guys are friendly, knowlegable and very helpful - lifts to work freely offerred and general experience of visiting fish is pleasant (unlike vincents - something about audi salesman that makes me want to punch them, great cars, terrible dealers) so I really want to like these guys - wish they had tighened up that clip though.

There is now a very nice young girl working in the service team which makes visits to the dealer a pleasure!

Got my Fabia vRS from them and Matt was great, informed me about everything.
took it back a few weks ago after I had a bit too much fun with the traction control off and they fixed it a treat, would deffinately go back there, even though I live in Kent now.

Hi Denis,

Very useful for me this thread, as Fish Brothers are my nearest dealer. Thank you.
Good to read of previous experience's of friendly service, and fairly efficient service.
I have visited there, one time already, and was greeted by a very nice YL with long blond hair, that made Soviet, and son Stefan-Alex a nice cup of coffee as the machine was not functional. Ah, what a charming lady, if only I was 20 years younger, then I would be sweeping her off her feet.

She even sat next to me, and chatted,while I had a Vag-Com test done on my vehicle, for the instrument panel problem. This unfortunately did not show any faults. As you have probably seen, I have now fixed the problem, and now have diagnostics to use of my own.

Actually got around to putting Briskoda stickers in my car today. ordered two of these ones.
One is top of rear hatch door and other, rear passenger door.

Now I am the proud one to be a member.

Hi Good old soviet here,

Had a mooch around the place, and looked at some of the new cars, and the used cars at Fish bros. and I thought that the used ones where very pricey for the milage.
Non the less, enjoyed myself there.

Always will do my own repairs if I have the right tools/equipment of course.

Hi,

Is there anyone in the 'know' on here that would be able to tell me when Swindon Fish Bros are back up and running with their diagnostic equipment, I cant get my key programmed until then, mainly because I dont have the time to get to Chippenham which is the closest alternative?

I know that it is possible to do with Vag-Com, but I dont have a registered copy, nor my
?SKC? code which Im hoping that Skoda can provide to me!
