useless service
on 25th of march 08, my octavia l&k had a punctured tyre. But the tyre bolt heads were slipped. They needed to be removed by only cutting or welding. On approaching Shrine Motors (Dealers for Skoda in Kolhapur) they sent a technician with us to the site. He told us to remove the bolt yourself fit the spare tyre and then come to the showroom. He just left the site in just a few seconds.
Useless service.
Again after doing every thing, when we reached the showroom at 4:00pm we were told that they were doing us a favour by taking our car inside for fitting new bolts.
Shrine auto dont even have adequate manpower to carryout day to day activities. No clean place to sit. no drinking water. we were also told not to talk to their technicians.
Useless, Useless service from Shrine Auto Kolhapur.

No TEST DRIVE and arrogance of dealer.

excerpt,
Hello People,
I have been to Mahavir Auto [skoda dealer] at Hyderabad, along with a friend of mine who was willing to BUY a new fabia. At the first sight, the car looked just about OK ! from outside. But built quality and the INTERIOR'S were Pretty Up class !!. Soo far so good.

As i heard of some DISAPPOINTMENTS Under the Hood, in our forum. I thought of checking out personally with a TD. I asked the sales guy for a TD. To my SURPRISE he said that, They don't provide any TD service . I tried to find out the reason, he simply Replied back like this, "Sir, this is a product from SKODA. you don't need a TD to know it's performance ! !"

I questioned him, when The HONDA'S, TOYOTA's, BMW's give TD. why can't you provide ? ? Then, he pretended as if he got a call and just vanished from the scene..!!

Mahavir Auto being the sole dealer for entire Andhra Pradesh, this is NO WAY OF CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Guys, is it the same scenario with all Skoda dealers through out the country ?? or this is one of a kind incident ?

Skoda dealers are a big fraud. Be cautious of Giriraj motors in Gurgaon. The manager there, Darshan, is hand in glove in the entire fraud operation. Changing your car spare parts is something very common. Read about the problems with Skoda in orkut community.

They scam you with fake bills, duplicate parts, and ask you to change parts that are completely necessary. I heard people have even resorted to consumer and police complaints against theft of parts while getting serviced.

it is a very bad experience to go to mahavir for service of skoda. they change the parts which are in good condition in a service and say that the parts are gone in the next service. we give car for repair. but they make it more worse by stealing the parts and also not correcting the complaints we say to them. very bad service and charges are exorbitant. i came to know now, skoda dealers and service agents are like this all over india. company attitude should be changed for the better service.

plz send this link to skoda India ceo.

Special REQUEST PL FORWARD THIS MAIL TO



M.D SKODA INDIA as I want to let him know where his hard work is heading to.







Dear Sir

I, Anupal Singh r/o house no 209 sector 9-C Chandigarh (India)

had purchased a Laura Candy White in my wife’s name (Harsimranjit Kaur ) with Vin No TMBBEE1Z39A150373 on 02-07-2009 from your dealership Krishna Auto Sales at Chandigarh. The car has been driven for only 4272 Kms & mostly to the workshop for the perpetual problem of emission of white smoke on starting the car, with foul smell as well as no pickup and low average.



I apprised M/s Krishna Auto Sales Chandigarh, on 08/08/09 about the said problems, who agreed to look into the problem and assured that the problem would be rectified.



I must compliment the staff at Krishna Auto Sales Chandigarh for going out of their way to redress my problem. They have been very courteous “but I am Sorry to say that people at Head Office at Aurangabad are not at all interested in rectifying the problem, rather their attitude is callous and high handed .”



The hit and trial method adopted from day one leads me to believe that you yourselves are not sure what and how to arrive at the final diagnosis, short of changing and replacing the parts and then eventually sending software to clear the defect “have done nothing.”



Sir not only have I suffered mental harassment and huge financial losses, but have also been told in no uncertain terms by Mr. S.K Aggarwal that the defective car sold to me by your ESTEEMED COMPANY will not be replaced rather it may take 2 Year for it to be repaired and the losses incurred by buyers like me are of no consequences to the company. Further when I requested him to furnish me with the details of the MD Telephone No., Email Address, He categorically told me that as he was the sole in charge …………HIS WORD STANDS FINAL.





So where do I go from here ?????????????





Regards

I had purchased Skoda Octavia car 2 years back, but having a very bad experience with your Surat (Gujarat) dealer with after sales services .At the time of delivary, car was insured very late . While servicing the car at your center the replaced parts are used and defective ones. The MP3 player was also replaced with a defective one. From a reputed company like you, we expect moral and ethic value to be maintained from your service center. We avoid sending the car for service with the fear that it will be replaced by defective parts . The value of the parts replaced are charged at a much higher price than the market rate of your Company. Last month during service the key cell was replaced and it is already not working.

Hope you will take remedial action for the sake of protecting your Brand Goodwill.

Please do the needful to satisfy our complain at the earliest.

Most 3rd grade service stations in Gujarat, Holded in Surat, Rajkot, Baroda, Ahmedabad Dealer in different name owned by one company. Do not buy skoda car at all, as cheats in service, spoils car and wait for another visit to make heavy invoice.

Kindly post all skoda owners in ahmedabad or saurashtra region your review so company occurs to know about service station jobs. Everyone is shouting but no one have seriously taken steps to complain till aurangabad. Do post your review without for skoda car and service stations

GUys DONT BUY skoda, if you have any intention of seeing you not scribbling on this platform. And the reason for this is TRASH*TRASH + CRAP Service center. the company Krishna Auots especially jalandhar, is full of the dumbest technical staff, i ve seen in my life. Even a courier delivery guy can do better job on your car than these company people.

i have a supreb and its just an excellent product but if you have any problem, you are gonna kill yourself for buying, after your unfruitful visits to the company...
Imagine when i have to tell the problem, the part, the replacement and the procedure of the Gear Tiptronic.
Man!! they asking Rs 27000 for a part, which i can get (same VW Passat part) online for Rs 1, 250 . wont you feel like killing self.

I don t know why they charged me even for the check up of vehicle, when i had to tell them the part that could be faulty without opening, AND THEY COULD NOT FIIND fault EVEN AFTER OPEING THE TIPTRONIC COVER!!!

GUYs don't buy it, Cars are fabulous but SERViCE SUCKS.

YOU will thank me later on for advice. i Know

Dear Sir,
SUB: Breakdown of our new Laura L&k Automatic since two and half month and continuous harassment from dealer Side.(Car No. OR 16-D 4101) Car Km Reading:- 4800 km
I, Shyam Sundar Agrawal, Managing Director of the company, M. R. Engineers (P) Ltd. I have purchased a new car model no. 2.0 TDI LAURA F/L L&K – AT on dt. 31/08/2009 from Mahavir Auto Diagnostics Pvt. Limited, Bhubaneshwar, Orissa. Complained on above Helpline Nos. but no response from your side. Before the contract the company officials assured me to arrange Registration No. 1 from any part of Orissa against Rs. 15000.00 apart from the registration amount. While my Car was running on road for 2 months without the cars registration, then I spoke to Mr. Pashu (04044553004), MD of Mahavir Auto about this, even then he dint take any action Mr. Pashu says “its none of our business” and GM says “it will take 6 months more”. Then I had to make my own registration from my place giving fine of Rs. 20, 000/-.
After 15 days have passed, I again wrote a letter writing that I have a problem with delay in start of AC which used to take 10 min. to start, low mileage which was 9 km/litre and then paint defect. First of all they made me wait for one week saying there will be company camp coming and will rectify your problem and extending that to one month saying me every time one week more and one week more. Finally driver (driver No. +91- 9861303682) of skoda company was sent who knows nothing and tells me that you have to take this car to the showroom which is 500 km from my place. Then finally company sends a letter writing that we have sent our technician to your place but unfortunately the concern persists on Dt. Oct 20th, so you have to get your car to the workshop. It wasn’t possible as we had just one car at our place unless they could provide an alternative car which they couldn’t.
On 8th November, I went for a tour to Angul which is 300 km far from my place, Rajgangpur. I was riding the Car and car speed was 40 Km/hr and suddenly makes a warning sound and steering gets locked. After that it shows ESP Failure, Brake Oil failure and steering sensor failure. When I



complained this to Skoda service person Mr. Ali and GM, they asked to get the car to the showroom which was impossible. Then they finally sends a person that same driver to sort out my problem. He came and took my car telling me that we will sort out this problem soon and in fact we have lost a contract of Rs. 30 million due to absence in the meeting. Finally I was back home. After One Week when I asked Service person, he tells me that the car’s steering torque sensor is already been dispatched from their head office on 17th Nov, 09 and soon they will complete the work and after completion of work with the warranty approval of Skoda Auto India they will release the Car. When my Car was delivered to me on 6th December and i was taking a test drive with the driver sent by Skoda company, the car had following problems:-
1) ESP FAILURE
2) ABS Failure
3) TYRE Pressure Failure
4) Pick up totally came down.
5) Light Sensing Fault
6) Software Problems
7) AC Problem Still Persist
Again when I complained this to BDM, Mr. B. N. Pattnayak, he tells me that problem will be solved within 15-20 Days .Then finally the technician comes after one month on 5th jan, 2010 and takes my car. Now my Car is at showroom till date and they will be delivering my car by the end of this month. Your Company always speak for your service, now where is your Service.
So, this was the last option to write this letter to you as we have lost all our hopes and kindly please go through all my problems. Now we are going for consumer case and to the press writing we are been cheated as we have all the written documents. According to our belief now, we can’t take this car anywhere because you or your company are not the guarantor for my life. Either you give a replacement for this defective car or change our car to some other model or best option you can return our money.
Yours Sincerely,

Shyam Sundar Agrawal
Managing Director

Hi guys. Hearing voices no one else can hear isn't a good sign, even in the wizarding world. Help me! I find sites on the topic: Valium 10mg. I found only this - <a href="http://www.clubespanolrosario.org.ar/Members/Valium">valium effects</a>. Valium, peter steele was used in. Valium, these could be drugs, media, delivery constipation, popular 1950s, withdrawal and self-confidence. With respect :cool:, Rockne from Herzegovina.

sir,
As our Skoda Car was left in your workshop for accidental works on 01.07.2008. we have given advance payment of Rs.400000/-on 08.08.2009.but the car is not ready till date. In their managment, they replied that we don't receive spares for car from Skoda Auto, Aurangabad. Hence their reply has been forwarded to you herewith. so the car was not delivered on 20th Feb2010
as replied by them. So We took road service vechicle to our custody and their vas 5051 machine in our custody. After delivery of our car, the service car will be handed over to Milliennium Motors coimbatore

This matter will be shameful to Skoda auto and not to milliennium motors.
Kindly look into this matter as earlier.

Thanking you,
B.Sivakumar.
