The reviews of Skoda Rapid Tdi on this forum seems to be fabricated. Every body is only praising the vehicle. The car is good. But the service personnel are giving all false information.
My car Skoda Rapid TDI Ambition 2012 has now run 60000 KM. Every time I go for service they unnecessarily tell to replace parts. If I had heeded to their advice I would have spent lakhs of rupees now. Average service costs come to Rs.11000. Last service on 21st Sep 2017 they told to change the steering column which costs Rs.52000. When it had run 28000 KM Vinayaka Skoda Bangalore during car inspection told me to replace both front brake rotor which costs Rs.8000. I escaped from there without changing. The car has crossed 60000 Km and the same rotor has not yet replaced. The pinnacle Skoda during the service on 21st Sep 17 advice that the rotor has still life and not to replace.
Since it has covered 5 years of life I will not go to Skoda authorised service station any more. I will go to some good normal service stations only. The service cost at SKODA SS is unbearable. The quality of service has drastically came down. A photo graph is attached to show how they left this portion with out cleaning during the regular service after charging Rs.11800. Next day I went to the service station Pinnacle Skoda Thrissur and shown the portion where they left cleaning. As a special favor( as per them) they cleaned and given to me.
