The garage have been fantastic. The staff, especially the sales and after sales managers - andy and chris, always find time for you - even if you'renot there to see them.Treated my 4 year old son superbly. Nothinfg is to much of a problem.
A clean dealership, extremely friendly.

I've purchased two cars from them, my 1.6 classic Octy and now my Octy VRS.

Having visited other local dealers, Motorline have no competition. I would definitely purchase from them again

After service Spring Service check . Advertised by Skoda UK for participating dealers Motorline were the only closer dwaler doing this , booked in within 1 day , took no more than 45 minutes , very polite and good service .Checked and topped up all the fluids , check brakes , tyres , exhaust , electrics , coolant Recode on locking for auto lock at 15 km speed . For the price a worthwhile service check after the winter and my 11k miles . Would recomend them . PS they were also servicing 3 Octy VRS ( Police ) at the time .

When another Skoda dealership completely misdiagnosed a problem with my air conditioning system (I knew from an independant dealer that it was an electrical fault) I took it to Motorline Skoda. I booked it in last minute on the Thursday evening. I took the car round on Friday morning and they are wonderful enough to have a passenger lift service to take you back home or to a train station etc due to their distance from the centre of town.

Anyway their staff listened to my description of the fault and what I knew, they made notes on it, they looked at the car and found a rectified the problem charging me only labour to replace a burnt out wire. I got a great feeling of competence and trust from the staff and would have no problems giving them return business.

I recently put this in another section so thought id post it in right place .... i took my 03 vrs estate to them for a MOT ... it failed stating exhaust mount had snapped , cv boot leaking and this is the big one ...... brakes juddering needing new discs and pads at the front . Now alarms starting ringing as id not noticed any probs with brakes. My car was due into Jabba for service work and cam belt so i asked them to check the fails for me so i can get them repaired whilst there. Well the exhaust bracket had snapped so fixed that but the cv boot wasnt leaking and the brakes were fine .... only 50 % wear !!! I decided to take it to another skoda dealer ... sherlodge .... they mot'd the car .... Pass !!!

How many people would have just said " ok do the repairs " paying the £650 bill .... lots.

I wouldnt touch motorline with a barge pole now .. i recently bought the mrs a new vrs furby from there ( before mot of course ) and took out the service plan for 3 yrs ..... thats now been cancelled and jabba can have the servicing as they were brilliant when i went .. spoke to you as if you were human .. not like some main dealers who treat you like you know nothing about cars

Not really encouraging is it . Most of the other reviews of Motorline seem to be pretty decent but they are quite new so could be a bit variable still. I have never used them as, although im from Canterbury, I was happy using Caffyns (Ashford) when the car was a bit younger and now Volksline in Canterbury for servicing & MOT - both have been excellent with me

Mods - please can you add jinxy's review into the main Motorline dealer section. Ta

Update to include my first real experience of Motorline. Car had just been repaired / resprayed by an accident repair place in Canterbury after my neighbour had attacked it in my drive As I drove home the EPC light was on, so I returned to the repairer who then sent me to Motorline. Initially they inferred there was problem with the ignition, but after a while the service manager came out said it had been traced to "low voltage", they had cleared the fault and taken it for a quick drive without any reappearance.

Anyway, no sign of any problem now and they didn't charge anything for what they did so

Glad to hear you were pleased with our service

I take my Fabia vRs to them for servicing and I can't fault the service, it's top class.

Had to laugh at the saloon fabia I had as a courtesy car, interesting drive that!!!

All the staff are friendly and helpfull.

It's good to see a friendly female face behind the counter too.

Going there for the fabia launch soon, so I hope they have some goodies in for the occasion.

Motorline Canterbury - brought my Furby from you guys and was pleased with the deal, but will not pay 336.00 - for a 2K service on a x2 year old car when others are much cheaper and have posotive reviews from members.

Just used Motorline for the first time for a service & MOT (having used independents for a while) and was pleasantly surprised. As I was going abroad for work they took the car in for the whole week without any problem. The intermediate service (at 74k) appears to have been done fine and the variety of faults that I listed (air con not working, key fobs, headlight warnings etc) were all rectified by the time I picked the car up. Although not as cheap as some of the independents they didn't seem to raise lots of "other" issues which needed dealing with which was good - I am a bit cycnical about some garages who always manage to find about 3 or 4 other things which "need" doing which always bumps the cost up. Motorline highlighted a couple of issues but said were just advisory and did not push at all to have them done.

All in all was pleased with the job done.
