Buster C had an unhappy experience with a Skoda. He was unlucky as satisfaction rates are very high for Skodas. But quite understandably he doesn't want to risk another VAG car, at least for now.
Well that's one way of putting it, take one excerable, badly built and unreliable Skoda. Add a handful of incompetent dealers, a pathological liar of a service manager and a wholly complacent manufacturer and you'll start to get close. Cost my business thousands, not just through poor reliability but continued inability to get first time fixes.
Over on the fan boy site this seems to be regarded as perfectly acceptable, in fact I should be grateful that I got to see my lovely Skoda dealer so often. Satisfaction rates are high on these heaps because expectation is so low, all JD Power and Co really measure is how you feel against how you expected to feel. I don't expect perfection, though I always strive for it, but I do expect top service all of the time. Skoda missed by a light year.
Not only did I bin the Skoda after 10 months I banned all VAG products from my company (and we BUY our cars LOCALLY).
End of rant.
The name is just, well, a daft name. The only car I've ever been in where the cambelt failed was a virtually new Toyota and I already had the monicker then.
