Skoda Service FAQs

How often should a Skoda be serviced?

Skoda's servicing schedules generally recommend that most models should be serviced at intervals of 10,000 miles - though oil changes should be performed on a more flexible basis. Further information on your Skoda model’s exact servicing schedule can be found on the Skoda website – but can be followed by any independent garage.

As a standard, Bosch Auto service recommend an interim, or ‘bronze’ service be performed every 5000 to 7000 miles in order to ensure the roadworthiness of your Skoda between full, or ‘gold’ services. Regularly servicing your Skoda will help keep it safe, reduce repair costs, and ensure it is performing at its best. Book your Skoda service with us online here.

Will servicing my Skoda with an independent garage invalidate my warranty?

Servicing your Skoda with an independent garage or dealer will not invalidate its warranty – so long as certain conditions are met. Though dealerships often state that vehicles must be serviced at Skoda dealership locations in order to retain their warranties, EU ‘block exemption’ laws state that vehicle owners may have their vehicle serviced by an independent garage or dealership without invalidating their warranty - the manufacturer’s recommended schedule is followed, and only manufacturer-approved or equivalent quality parts are installed. Independent garages, such as Auto Service & Tuning Centre, are able to access Skoda's servicing schedules, invest in advanced diagnostic equipment on-par with that used in dealerships, and source genuine, or equivalent quality parts, whilst offering servicing at an accessible price point.

Auto Service & Tuning Centre guarantee our use of quality or manufacturer-approved parts, and recommended schedules in our Skoda services. Book with us today.

What is included in a full Skoda service?

The exact checks, adjustments, and part replacements your Skoda service includes are dependent on the type of service selected.

An interim, or 'bronze' service (conducted approximately every 5000 miles) includes approximately 30 system checks, including ABS warning lights, seatbelts, air conditioning, oil levels, and clutch fluid.

A full service, completed every 12 months, or 10,000 miles, will be more extensive - including approximately 50 checks and adjustments. Full services tend to cover all points of an interim service, alongside additional checks, and the replacement of expendable parts such as spark plugs, oil, and filters.

How long will a Skoda service take?

The length of a Skoda service varies depending on the type of service required, and the condition of your vehicle, with interim or 'bronze' services typically taking the least amount of time, and covering 31 checks and adjustments, whilst full services cover in excess of 50. On average, a Skoda service with Auto Service & Tuning Centre will take around 3 hours and will be completed by a team of specialist technicians and mechanics.

If any issues arise during the service out with planned part replacements, our team will explain in depth the reasons for replacement and associated costs, allowing the vehicle owner to make an informed decision before proceeding.

Do I have to get my Skoda serviced at Skoda?

Recently introduced EU ‘block exemption’ regulation allows independent garages and dealerships to complete servicing for all vehicle models without invalidating their warranty (so long as the manufacturer’s servicing schedule is followed, and equivalent quality parts are used where replacement is required. This means you are able to service your Skoda at any reputable garage you’d like.
