8 weeks and counting to resolve an issue with brand new car After having the car for 4 months, a noise started to develop in the steering and after another month of this, I decided to get the car booked into the garage (Skoda Edinburgh Sighthill) They couldn't find the noise and I was told to come and collect the car but they offered a technician to come out with me which I agreed on and it was then concluded there was an unusual noise coming from the steering. I was happy with a courtesy car in the meantime thinking that this issue would not take too long to resolve. After a couple of weeks, I decided to ask If there was an auto as my wife isn't confident driving manuals. We eventually managed to get a Auto superb to use and I was fine with this for the time being. Another couple of weeks pass and I eventually contact the garage. I am informed they are waiting on the green light to fit a new gearbox as that seems to be the problem. Week 7 of not having our car and I am honestly at breaking point as I have been informed that the gearbox has been changed yet the noise is still there and they are now waiting from skoda to find out what the next plan of action is. I have contaced head office and also Matthew Bowden, who have responded and said it will be sorted Week 8, no further updates from the week before. Been left in the dark I have contacted customer service about this asking how it is fair to be paying almost £400 a month for a car we have not had which is looking to be coming up for 2 months now. Customer service have advised I contact the garage direct about this which I have and they have said there is nothing they can do and to contact customer service so it really seems to be going in roundabouts. This is our first time purchasing a Skoda and honestly, how we have been treated has been appalling. We have had so many instances where we require the 7 seats and the superb only has 5 which has been another issue we have had to deal with. All I get from the service manager is apologies and they will call me tomorrow with an update and then that call never comes. If you are looking for a new vehicle, go elsewhere, everything is all lovely when buying, getting the tea and coffee treatment etc but when you have a problem. It will be for a long time.

PLEASE AVOID! PLEASE AVOID!! After £2580.00 was spent repairing my Seat Alhambra power steering fault, the car only lasted a week and it broke down with the same exact fault while I was with my family including 3 children. West End Garage are not owning up and not willing to even help in getting the car repaired. They have either mis-diagnosed the fault or not repaired it correctly and are not interested unless I pay. I am shocked with this. How can you charge £2580 for the same fault to happen again and get away with it!! This is not fair!

Very Unprofessional 14 hours ago NEW Was in the branch on Monday to look at some cars as we are needing a second car for work While there I was utterly embarrassed by what I was welcomed with Shouting and screaming one woman seemed to be shouting in the service & parts area . What was said was about the 2 members of staff having an affair and taking drugs, I’ll not repeat the rest as I was completely shocked . All I can say is I’m glad I hadn’t brought my child with me that day. Maybe your staff need more training on etiquette or even just better professionalism . Not what I’d expect of a top rated dealer to have no family morals Needless to say I left and will not be returning.

I got in touch with West end Skoda in… I got in touch with West end Skoda in mid may. I spoke with Archie, I was in a bit of a tight spot looking for a new vehicle quickly! Archie went over and above to help me out and find me a car that would be suitable and although I ultimately did not go through with the purchase due to finding another more suitable car he was very understanding about this! All round it was a great experience from start to finish contacting West End Skoda, wouldn't hesitate to recommend to family, friend's or anyone else! Thank you again for all your help!

Don't expect the salesperson to have product knowledge! After nightmare puncture experiences of being stuck somewhere waiting for a tyre to be delivered to the repair shop a full size spare was a major issue on a new vehicle purchase. After asking for this I was repeatedly assured that the car had a full size spare. Foolishly took the sales person's word for it but when I got it home and checked it wasn't. I got back in touch and was offered another spare wheel being told that it had been taken from another vehicle so was ok to drive at full speed as it didn't have the stickers on. I asked for photographs, it wasn't full size to the purchased vehicle so the direction that it could be used for normal driving was down right dangerous. I checked on the internet to discover a full size spare was unavailable for this vehicle. Moral of the story never believe a salesman this particular guy hàd very poor product knowledge. After filling out a post purchase questionnaire from Skoda I heard nothing more which denotes disinterest. I have purchased an alloy and appropriate tyre to create a full size spare for peace of mind but I won't be going back!
