Team-BHP - Team-BHP stands for the TRUTH. But Skoda wants to “instigate” Team-BHP and its users!

Hahahahha. If you find that shocking, you have seen nothing yet.

Imagine you get a phone call from the dealer that the car is ready for delivery and we must have it picked up. You reach the dealerhsip to get the biggest shock of your life. Imagine your car here. You come to pick it up after six months and its standing with flat tyres, car is covered with dust, wet interiors, broken headlight, dent on the bonnet and side skirt, missing front grills, broken d pillar dressing inside, broken ash try, all air con vents inside the car broken, complete audio wiring disconnected and that too just cut and lying inside the door panel, screw drivers scars on the entire dash panel, broken steering column cover, dead battery, burnt fuse box installed on battery and a few more to list.

I have a feeling that you're in a shock just reading this. Now imagine the plight I went through. And I have it in written that the car is ready for delivery. They emailed me the same day to come pick it up.

And when I lost my cool over this sight, the manager there just said "Sir, we haven't delivered the car to you yet."

Excuse me!!!! You called me over to show me my car or prove to me that the dealership is nothing better than a road side amatuer workshop!!

hey kapiljolly79 that scanned letter is shocking. it just means that they dont take the blame for any"mistakes" made during service.

This basically means if your skoda meets with an accident and goes to a dealership for repairs, God help you

Trust me a roadside wala workshop will do a much better job. Damm These people need to be taught a lesson.

Team BHP stands united with you kapil, Harish and everyone who has faced this treatment at the hands of SKODA India...

I don't know why this low ranking car maker think they are the most prestigious car makers in india.Check the international scene.Skodas are a very average car maker.Nothing like the super luxury they portray in india.

You can say whatever you want to but you can't change the quality of your cars.which by the way is really very very bad.look at your horns.most of them are replaced in the first month.and then there are different quality niggles.

Why did skoda never give an extended warranty for the laura.because they knew it had major problems.Only when they had to clear stocks which were mounting to losses that they started giving the extended warranty.
What good is your car if it cannot run on mineral oil?
Why are customers forced to run on synthetic oil which is so expensive?

Thank goodness that i never bought a skoda.

You guys say your car is a very good car.However good your car might be if the ownership experience is not good then its a useless piece of junk.

I'm standing by TBHP on this.

And i'm with every skoda customer who has problems with the car which these guys are not solving.

GTO,

While I totally agree with Team-Bhp's stand on the issue, many members are just having fun posting here with no business.( not pointing to any member here)

I agree Skoda has interacted in the wrong way but I think team-bhp needs to maintain its quality. judging from the way Skoda people are participating online on our boards, they are young and lack experience.

It's time this thread is cleaned up if we really need some qualitative communication from Skoda for our Member who is the real victim.

Just my two cents.

Devarshi, is this inside information you have about Skoda Corporate?
In what capacity are you associated with the company?

Foot in mouth is a common occurrence and happens to most people at some time or the other.

The extreme form is very rare: In this the foot gets swallowed while in the mouth and in a tragic turn of events gets blown out the rear end.
Now the victim is tied up in a hopeless knot that cannot be undone!

The internet is fantastic!

A few years ago nobody could ever hope to get this sort of support. Even the attention of the newspapers would be lost in 24 hours.

Team-BHP has to be one of the best places on that internet. Good work all! Whatever they say in public, I am confident that there must be some shouting and screaming about this going on in Skoda. Of course, if there isn't, then there is absolutely no hope whatsovever for the company. If I'm wrong, then words fail me at such corporate arrogance. Which wouldn't be the first time :(.

I wonder if this has reached Skoda in Europe yet? (excuse me if I missed any news: several pages have been posted while I was out)

Sam... From way back: shouldn't that have been customers' cars, as it was a plural possessive!

Okay guys a little heads up for Skoda...
I have been busy forwarding the link to this thread to all my friends who own Skodas and here is what has happened:
[Skoda India please make note of this!]

Case 1) A friend of mine, from a prominent business family here in Mumbai. He has 3 Skodas, 1 Superb (3 years old, diesel), 2 Octavias (2 years and 4 years old respectively, one is L&K model, other is Rider). He has purchased his cars from JMD Motors and says they are extremely professional, and service is decent. However he has always felt cheated with his Octavias eating through their clutches quite frequently. This thread has pushed him overboard, and he says and I quote:

"JMD is good, but *** is this, this poor chap has a problem and Skoda themselves are just taking it easy. Man F this, my cars have got to go! Kya patha kal mera number aajaye"

He has since decided to dispose off of all his Skodas including 15 owned by his 3 companies in service for his top employees.

His problem is not that he has had a bad experience, it's that these issues are cropping up on relatively new cars, and the cost both with respect to time and money seem to be prohibitive in maintaining these old Skodas. Therefore he feels it's better to let go of these cars before the real maintainance costs surface!

Case 2) My upstairs neighbour - He is a fairly young gentleman, in his early 30s. A pilot with Jet Air, who enjoys many of the finer things in life. Among these things are 2 Skoda Octavias (1.8 TPI and Rider) and 1 Mitsubishi Cedia.

OK scary part for Anil is that his Rider was purchased from Nummer Eins. He too has faced problems with regard to this dealership, but not anything to the tune of replacing parts etc. He tells me they were not courtious, nor did they have any idea of punctuality with regards to delivery of his car. He now wished to sell of his Rider and has asked me if he should keep his TPi. Sadly I'm not a Skoda supporter in any way, so will see what happens to that. But the Nummer Eins Skoda must go!!!

This is just what has happened in one day. Man with the recession on, people are really getting scared with these prohibitive costs being posted about Skoda service costs. I mean Jolly's post about the 2.5 lakhs spent due to no fault of his own, man that's one the nailbiters right there!

Skoda please wake up, as you've just lost 2 customers who owned a combined total of 20 Skoda cars! 19 Octavias and 1 Superb...
