Excellent Service

On Saturday my husband and I purchased a Skoda Scala 1.5. My husband had been researching a new car for some months and we arranged a viewing at Reading dealership as it seemed to be the largest. I will not bore you with all the details but the treatment we received from them was appalling. Our test-drive was postponed three times, emails were ignored, phone calls cut off, it was truly dreadful. So in frustration and despair we contacted your dealership, just before 10 am on Saturday 15th and were given an appointment with Alex at midday. Just after 2pm we were in the pub for a celebratory lunch having just bought our new car!

Our experience with Skoda had been appalling until we met Alex. We cannot praise him highly enough. He was warm, friendly, caring and patient in dealing with two Senior Citizens however he never overstepped the mark and showed old-fashioned good manners which I especially appreciated. Nothing was too much trouble and his whole demeanour changed our perception of Skoda. If you have any sort of bonus scheme for outstanding performance I would dare to say he merits it. He is undoubtedly a credit to your business.

Kind Regards

Jane Hart (on behalf of us both)
