Do you need a Skoda Service team?

 

Skoda is an award-winning car brand and to keep it in top performance condition you need a top-notch Skoda Service team. The Volks Affair mechanics specialise in luxury German car brands – BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW and Skoda. You may not think of Skoda as a luxury brand, but it certainly ticks all boxes for what you’d look for in a stylish and reliable car.

 

The Skoda Brand is on the Rise

Skoda, originally a Czech company, is now owned by VW and it is on a mission to steadily increase production. In 2014, Skoda produced 1 million cars in the calendar year for the first time – their growth strategy now means that 1 million is the minimum production target every year. In 2017 the 20 millionth vehicle rolled off the production line. It was a Skoda Karoq.

 

Skoda Downunder

Skoda arrived in Australia in 2007. As Skoda says – they brought European luxury without the European price tag. Skoda is gaining popularity with Aussie’s who like the simple but smart design of Skoda. With plenty of awards under its belt, Skoda is proving to be a reliable family brand that suits most budgets.

 

Skoda is Innovative and Award-winning

Skoda produced an electric concept car with level 3 autonomy in 2017. It was the Vision E car and is planned for sale in 2020. Skoda aims to have an entirely electric line up by 2030.

 

The Current Skoda Range

  • Fabia – the Fabia 66 TSI was named Best Value Green Car by Money Magazine (2017)
  • Octavia – was named the Best-Value Family Car by Money Magazine (2017)
  • Rapid – competitively priced, this is a smart little car filled with modern tech features
  • Superb – Drive named this the Best Family Car of the year (2016)
  • Kodiaq – this 7-seater 4×4 is an affordable buy for adventurous families
