Very Unprofessional For a motor trade company they should have a drug policy in place. Unacceptable when member of staff (male service advisor Thomas) takes drugs yet able to still work and be responsible for moving cars etc. I know this for a fact I’ve witnessed this person off their face! He’s also stated their not the only member of staff that takes drugs. So very concerning that the company wouldn’t do anything about it considering I told one of the management that they ought to be drug testing his staff for the safety of other staff and the customers! Instead they trying to cover it up n get the reviews deleted!

SEAT owners beware My 2012 Seat Leon broke down, and it was towed here as it's a recognised SEAT dealer/mechanic. I was told about 3 faults with the car, and they needed to order in a part from Spain and explained it would take up to 10 working days. Cool, this was no problem, I'm aware there's delays in such things. We had to chase them for 8 weeks, until they finally said the part was lost and ordering a new one was not an option. They said they could instead order another (better AND cheaper part) and have it ready the next day..... this option wasn't presented to us in the 8 weeks my car was sat waiting at the garage. The staff repeatedly didn't pick up the phone or said they would call back and never did in this 8 week period. Less than a week after getting it back the same error occurred and again the car was towed to this garage. The staff were completely unaware of the Seat own car policies. The staff were unhelpful and not forthcoming with information as to when they would even look at it. Customer service was terrible, even more so given the hassle we've had and clearly the issue is not fixed. Once my car is returned to me, I am never taking it back to this dealership and Seat owners beware!

I bought a Skoda Rapid in June 2016 and… I bought a Skoda Rapid in June 2016 and around 2 years later the paintwork on the bonnet became defective. I asked to have it repaired under warranty and the car was checked over at Pullman Skoda Durham. Electronic paint gauges we're used on the bonnet and I was advised it was previously repaired. There was no mention of this by West End Skoda before or after purchasing the car. The warranty claim was refused and upon further investigation I was advised that Skoda UK and West End Skoda do not check vehicles for any undisclosed repairs or accident damage. I was also advised it was my fault for not checking the car properly before buying it (using specialist body shop equipment). The used approved scheme is a waste of time and money, plus it leaves customers open to buying a car that has been crashed, repaired and not recorded as such.

Wont but from here again ... Wont be back. Purchased a cracking Fabia brand new 2 years ago. Car is great but admin terrible. email address and DOB record wrong so no access to any purchase or subsequent service plan documentation or anything. Eventually fixed that but bought a new service plan in January and it appears they just made up key details which again screwed my account with VWFS - five times was promised byt branch service dept staff it was fixed. Last try today when at least someone admitted they had screwed it up but then said we had to fix it ourselves with VWFS. Customer Lost (apart from the 2 services I am due for my invisible service plan of course).

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.
