Have to say i am less than impressed with them.
Called for prices on bits for Felicia - always seem to have the excuse that the computer is down and they will call back. Of 4 times I have tried they called back once - promised to order part and would call when part was in but have not heard anything yet.
Ended up getting parts mail order from Butts!

Pretty friendly (outgoing bubbly receptionist, non judgemental on vehicle problems and very organised at fitting in service work),

Only too pleased to investigate a problem with brakes at v short notice, car runs a lot better now.

Seemed to be a good dealer with my first initial visit to them and would be thinking of starting my services with them, maybe the next car !
Interested to see how well they perform over a longer period.

I'm doing some contract work in Sandy, Beds and I popped in here to get a light bulb changed and I was mightily impressed by the very quick and helpful people on the service reception.

So, when it came up for it's 40K service, I took the Fabia in and;

1. They tried to fix EVERYTHING I asked them to - a first! They almost succeeded.
2. They took it upon themselves to order a warranty part for something I had asked them to fix, but they couldn't as they didn't have the part - another first!
3. Their loan car is free and it's a decent spec unlike so many poverty spec loan-cars that Skoda dealers seem to have.
4. They washed and waxed the car. They even offered to wash the car when it went to have the cup-holder adjusted! All Skoda dealers are supposed to do this, but in my experience not all of them actually do.

I've been in now a total of 4 times, each time with a very positive result and I've felt that nothing was too much trouble for them and that they really wanted my business.

Highly recommended.

Friendly and efficient in my relatively limited dealings with them.

Prices a bit high though but MILES better than the Kia dealer my previous car came from. (MK Kia - you are terrible!)

Went for a test drive 2 weeks ago. They promised to email finance figures to me. After chasing a few times I eventually gave up
