Had my 20k service done here , and although not cheap , £180 .........found them to be friendly, helpful and very obliging , was asked if I required a courtesy car (it's £7 for the day) and my car was cleaned for me on my return . IMHO , far better service than Brooklyn at Alcester

It's now called "Startin Skoda". Same staff though. I bought my Octavia from them in 02 and have always had it serviced there. I think they are pretty good : they've been helpful in diagnosing problems, have done simple tests for free. They had an opportunity to charge me for work that didn't really need doing, but were 100% honest.

I've always found them reliable and straight and friendly.

Good garage. I like it a lot. Bought my 53 plate Fab Combi from here. Good price, good service, and I always get a hello from the salesman. Servicing fine and guys agreed when I refused to pay for screenwash on the service. (I had filled it the same morning). I would (and do) go back there.

Bought my Fabia VRS here in August, decent enough deal eventually. Took it in yesterday for some checks to rear brakes, stuttering and turbo whistle - good explanations and reasons for not changing anything at this stage, reassured me I had done right by having them checked. Treated with respect and understood I knew what I was on about. Good courtesy car (new shape 1.2) at no cost only fuel. No problems at all, phoned me when ready, very polite, and I'm satisfied. Will use again for next service in December!

The change of ownership and the name change to "Startin Skoda" does not seem to have affected the place adversely, I still get my Octavia serviced there.

Bit teed-off that they recently left me languishing in a waiting room for 2 hours because they forgot to phone through to tell me that they'd finished......but otherwise, I am always confident that they do a good job, are not on the fiddle and charge fairly.

I have found them to be very helpful and apparently honest. Good explanations given and always ready, willing and keen to advise on the phone. So far, very good!

Took SWMBOs Fabia there for 40k Service, MOT & Cambelt change this week, because they quoted £130 less than Robert Bamford (Gloucester) for the Cambelt.

The staff were friendly and helpful, although they did seem to have a 'fluid' pricing strategy, so its worth getting quotes beforehand, and questioning everything on the bill.
They also added brake fluid change & coolant change (at over £100), which I thought should have been included in the service cost - as it was part of the scheduled 40k service.

All in all, friendly helpful service, I'd be happy to use them again.
