badlammy 6th Gear February 21, 2019 Share February 21, 2019 Me too! Muahahhahaha I no money and no time...i also think that the nardo grey is the color to have for the RS It's still different from Audi's nardo grey. You can straightaway tell the difference if put side by side. Skoda steel grey looks a shade duller. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoldjaffa Hypersonic February 21, 2019 Share February 21, 2019 I do outside, almost any workshop can do an oil change for a VW/audi/skoda/seat. Did not have a specific one, tried one, if got feel, go back, no feel move on. I did the 2 oil changes with VCS, up to 30K, after that I went full mod, and never went back. There was no point for me to go back there for service, since I had technically voided all future possibility of claiming, nor do I want the car to be treated as such. For me it is simple: VCS = more time spent over money. Outside = more money spent over time. I can work and earn money. I can work, but cannot buy time. Money cannot buy time. VCS waste my time, I cannot buy back. Same. IF a car is a lemon then all sorts of problems will have happened from day 1. Once I use up the FOC servicing, I will service outside. It's cheaper, faster and I can bring my own parts and see what the mechs are doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nardo1982 2nd Gear February 21, 2019 Share February 21, 2019 Ok so my 15K servicing came and went fuss free. Dropped off at Alexandra at 830am. SA WhatsApp me during lunch that car is done, doing QC checks and is ready for collection by 1pm. Collection was also fast. Upsides: seems like brakes were adjusted, seems stiffer. Downsides: car didn't seem to be washed. Still got bird dropping. Lol. Mechanic left an oily palm print on my front passenger seat. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pravinuss 1st Gear February 21, 2019 Share February 21, 2019 Was at the traffic junction earlier near Bukit Batok and had a octy in front and another to the left. Happy to see Skoda getting more traction on our streets! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having bird droppings left on your car after going through VCS is a blessing. Your brakes feel stiffer, because the mech who drove it up to the service bay from the carpark drove it like he stole it. See that hump before the ramp? , there is no slow there when the mech gets their hands on your car. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggest you rub some of the bird dropping on you car number plate for eternal good luck. Also lick the oily palm print 5 times to ward off any bad spirits lurking around. You might win something big big big very soon. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrian140180 5th Gear February 22, 2019 Share February 22, 2019 There are some places you would prefer to go in with no expectations, and leave with no expectations. Than to have a place you go in with no expectations, and come out with headaches. VCS is one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machunk28 4th Gear February 22, 2019 Share February 22, 2019 Yes yes. Guess I got the color name wrong haha I do know that there is a slight difference shade-wise between the Audi nardo grey and Skoda Steel Grey. The difference is quite telling actually...

Sdf4786k Twincharged February 22, 2019 Share February 22, 2019 Sounds like you had a terrible experience with Skoda Singapore/VCS. Out of curiosity, where do you do your regular servicing then? I wish to avoid all the things you mentioned above, even if it means forgoing the 3 yrs complimentary servicing they agreed to provide for my vehicle. Do the usual. Ask them for a do not wash car LABEL. They will write this BIG BIG on the job sheet and place a A4 size laminated on the dash board. I do outside, almost any workshop can do an oil change for a VW/audi/skoda/seat. Did not have a specific one, tried one, if got feel, go back, no feel move on. I did the 2 oil changes with VCS, up to 30K, after that I went full mod, and never went back.

For me it is simple: VCS = more time spent over money. Outside = more money spent over time. I can work and earn money. I can work, but cannot buy time. Money cannot buy time. VCS waste my time, I cannot buy back. The best part, even when my car had a battery flat and I ask for batt replacement, they say my car out of warrant at 1yr 11 months .. As you can tell, if you think we have incompetent people , you have not encouter the benchmark of incompetencies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha For me, when I short list the car and before I book, I download the pics of the various colour and put it as a desktop / screensaver. If after a while it proof to be yucky, I change the screen to another color. That seems to work well for me for my last 3 cars. As for the rims, I use tirerack.com ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
