Skoda India Complaints & Reviews

I have a skoda superb automatic petrol variant. 2010
Had bought this car despite several people stating otherwise owing to problems with gear & engine troubles.

Had recently gone out for 20 days hence car was lying unused. Had ensured the car was covered with protective car cover.
On the fateful day had taken the car barely 200 meters when the engine would idle out & stop.
Tried restarting the car few times & had the same issue. Called up the official skoda service center & was told that the car needs to be sent to service center for investigation owing to engine issue.

Got the car delivered to service center on a flat bed tow van.

Was informed after a few days that the ecm has gotten spoilt owing to water seepage in it.
Surprising as it is that how can this part which lies right on top on the engine block & that too in a car which has been covered & kept have this issue.

Am now being told to fork out a lakh plus to get this repaired. Further am being told that only once this part is replaced will they be able to inform if any other part is faulty. Hence final estimate also cannot be provided by service team.
I fail to understand how within a span of 6 years plus a integral component such as this shuts down owing to moisture in a covered car.

I strongly feel this is highly unusual & a car now valued at under 6 lakhs, is this even worth the monies or effort.

The car is now sitting at the workshop for the past month or so. Even after asking them to confirm if this is the only part damaged have gotten no proper reply.

I would be wary & also tell others to be before buying another car from skoda.

This problen seems to be a part of every skoda owner's life !! I faced this issue just last week and gave my car today for servicing and a solution to this issue, i am now being told that the injector has failed and it will cost me 24k !! I have no choice but to shell out as i dont know if skoda will accept their fault in it ???!!! I swear to never buy a skoda make again and will never ever advice anyone else as well !! Stay away from the brand to stay away from hefty bills !!

I bought skoda rapid (Chasis number - tmbbufna7fg016410) in feb 2016 from nawab motors - noida. I bought it just a year back and it suddenly wasn't starting in the morning. I sent my car to the service centre (Nawab motors - noida) two days back. They told me the battery is not working and needs to be replaced. Firstly i was told they don't have battery in stock and have to wait for 4 days to be replaced and suddenly after a day i was told that "battery is not covered in the warranty". I want to know is it true that skoda doesn't cover battery in the warranty?

Also isn't it too early for a skoda battery to stop working. Given the fact that it has been roughly a year and a half.

I would also like to add up that there is a noise issue with steering wheel which has been reported to service center (Nawab motors - noida). I faced this issue just after first car service which happened just two months back. It is as clear case of negligence during the service of not greasing shocker bearing to stop noise.

Moreover i was informed that you i can buy extended warranty in a time span of two years however presently i am told that i should have bought it in the first year of purchase itself which is not ethical at all as the information given was wrong. I am really pissed off with the whole episode of wrong information and delayed service.

Dear sir,
I have booked new skoda on the advice of mr ahmed hussain of mahaveer skoda (Somajiguda) well before launch i. E 29th may by paying 25, 000/- advance. Later i was informed that the name of new variants changed and opted for style for which i received quotation on 13th may in which the the insurance policy premium quoted was too high rs 87, 884/-.
I have taken quotation for the insurance from my banker i. E hdfc bank for rs 52.100/- and informed the same to them by mail.
At this juncture they delaying my delivery of my vehicle by insisting us to take the insurance policy from them for above said higher price.
Being there is an auspicious event at my home i was expecting the delivery second of this month itself. I even postponed the purchase of car for one month as i was convinced about the new skoda facelift by sales people.
Please let me know you sale policy regarding the insurance. Is it made compulsory to buy insurance only from your dealer? If so, why is difference in price of the policy. Please advice to go for further action.

I have very bed experience at skoda service centre at verna goa. They are not planned as per the standard. They spoiling the name of the brand.

I have booked your car 2-3 days back with 1, 00, 000 rs amount and its successfully debited. Because of some personal reasons i want to cancel it, mr. Ajit and mr. Kulkarni said we will deduct 5000 rs cancellation charges from the booking amount which is okay for me. But he is saying that you will get the amount in 10 days??? Seriously? I have a firend of mine who is in chakan plant volkswagen he said vw gives refund 100% in 2-3 days max, so please look into this and revert me back, or else i have contact with gm of skodaa

Never expected this from the germans, because we currently have two german cars at our door

Good afternoon sir...

My car is skoda superb 2009 model & the registration number is tn 02 aj 4044.

Actually, i sent the car for servicing in skoda ambattur service centre, chennai for the problem in the gear shifting by 12th of may 2017. The car was in the running condition only. After checking the car, they told that there is a mechatronics problem exists in the car, so you have to replace that. They arranged the warranty for the gear mechatronics.

After that also the problem exists, so they recommended to replace the multi clutch & fly wheel. Even after this also the problem doesn't resolve. They recommended the total change of gearbox.

As am the 3rd owner to the vehicle tn 02 aj 4044, still i didn't even finished with the payment of the vehicle. Its still under the emi. Even the amount for the servicing and the replacement of some parts in the vehicle comes around rs. 1, 44, 000. This also i cant afford. So, i can't go for the replacement of gear box which costs around rs. 2, 80, 000. Its very difficult for me to go for this. I've bought this car in second hand by rs. 7 lakh. The car reached only 80, 000 kms still now. So please arrange warranty for the gear box or at least approve the gearbox mechatronics warranty to ease our problem. Seriously am not in the situation to spend this much money right now. This is the 1st car i bought but i didn't expect that this will lead to this much problems and replacements. Please do something regarding the warranty and make it affordable for me. Accept my kind request and try to do something in favour of me.

Thanking you,
With regards,
N. Kumar

19th june 2017 till date
Heating up the engine and sensor showing exhaust inspecting and glow plug system, my car starts vibrating badly when it shows these two sensor on the way to lucknow tried calling customer care several times for roadside assistance but after hearing the voice they disconnect the call. It was really humiliating for me for suffering for mental trauma from your part. It is really bad for skoda.

My car's engine temperature was hot so i gave it to the company and they took ₹75, 000 after few days again the same problem occurred i send my car to the company once again and they checked the engine head and took ₹1, 35, 000 but still the same problem is occurring. I am fed up with the service. They did every possible thing but nothing worked. It's simply a waste of my time and money. Please solve my problem as soon as possible.

20 days and my car is not back... Such fools sitting in the service centre,
Their technical team is a failure
20 days for a locked door... On the top of that they have no professional and responsible behaviour to notify the customer with updates...
I visited the service centre and car is standing in such a pathetic situation..
They are just the looters asking for loads of money every time car goes for a service...

I have have been trying to contact jia auto since last one hour and every time some one picking the call is disconnecting after listening my voice. However after several call i received a call from them. My skoda yeti is facing problem as some banging noise is coming from the bonnet. When i asked the person to give booking i heard a lady's voice from background not to take any booking. Then the gentleman said since they do not have the spare parts so they cannot take booking. I fell from the sky and asked him that i am not asking for any parts change. I only need to check up the reason for the noise from my yeti. I have 2 skoda fabias and one yeti but i swear to god i will never buy skoda again. It's not the skoda that is bad but the dealer jia auto who will prefer replacement for the slightest reason and has already earned the notorious tag in kolkata. Hunger for money only is biting our pockets and they have so much hunger to save money is that they have hired the poorest skilled staffs. If skoda is not going to do anything to replace this dealer jia auto then i or any other skoda owner can forecast the skoda future in kolkata. Thanks

I have given car only to start problem is with fuel injectors as per my knowledge but after period of 22 days also service center failed to give estimate or information about car. Even after visit at least more than 45 minutes they put to hold you. Thereafter whoever interact with you has no knowledge about car or incharge on leave. They have no papers of car they refuse to show you. Regular answer online recorded. If you ask them to show on computer no answer. Ask about 22 days study about car no answer. Then started with saying there are so many dismantle parts, which is not ask for. Only my eagerness to star my rapid car. Even no answer to technical head. Sorry state of affairs no worry about time of public and their worries.

My car had accident and it get service at jai auto skoda - mathura road delhi ncr. I got my car 14 june because it's my wedding in next week. And yes they have delivered car at my home on time but when we have approach to top management. But after the they have broken my steering mounted control system which was informed to workshop manager (15-june) when i checked the car. And the same has been informed while giving the feedback (29-juñe) when i got the call from mumbai but they also didn't took any action to resolve this issue. And i didn't get any update neither today so finally i'm putting my concern here. I hope now they have to look into else i have other option to approach them.

Skoda jaipur cheated me they are not giving me the tcs certificate till date after many times reminder even i have logged the complain customer care but nobody care.. Mr. Sanajy maheshwari the owner of jaipur showroom giving me false commitment everytime... Very bad expirence... I m going to consumer court this is last option if you not giving the solution with 1-2 days vichle no rj14 qc5941

Dear Sir/ Madam,
Good Day,
At time of purchase of my car Skoda Rapid bearing Registration number TNO2AX9267, I upgraded my Audio system by paying extra charges at Skoda Authorised Showroom Gurudev Motors Chennai's it the charges collected for changing is reflecting in Gurudev motors accounts system Yesterday I had a battery issue with my car, and when I took it to the service station Gurudev motors Ambattur service in charge advised me to change the battery. My car battery is under warranty period. When I requested them to change my battery under warrenty they declined my request quoting my car is having outside purchased audio system. I tried to explain them that the audio system is fitted at their showroom, but they are not ready to listen. To have a solution I seeked Skoda India support, but till now I have not found solution. Requesting for your kind intervention to find a positive solution.

I have purchase Skoda rapid on 1/7/16 from Skoda grand motors bilaspur, chhattisgarh.while delivery of vehicle they gave me cover note of insurance in which policy date 1/7/16 mentioned. But when I got the original copy of policy after some day it contains 11/8/16 policy date..Now my point of complain is. I had run my vehicle almost 40 days without insurance., in that period my vehicle would have been got accident or some other unfortunate things, in that case who would be responsible for that.now I m complaining the same thing to consumor Forum too

I owe a skoda due to its long lasting life and durability but here skoda makes me unsatisfied.
I have an extended warranty till 4 years while the service advisior states that your battery is out of warranty as it has coverage upto 1 year.
Are they here to make reputed customers fool by doing so they can earn? My car at around 7-8k kilometers reported power steering failed symbol and according to my knowledge i researced in service manual and found that its a battery issue unconnect the battery connector and reconnect and your problem can be solved and if not then you need a battery replacement. That time the workshop advisor said that these all battery will go in a year only and that's what happened.
I am enough capable to buy a new one if i can owe skoda but the issue is the company's image is decreasing continuously and that's not a good sign. Was a skoda fan but now i had enough issue to ignore skoda.
