Anyone had a service at Skoda Wollongong or Rockdale?

[Medallion68]

Just had my 45000km dservice on our vRS petrol DSG done at Trivett Skoda Blacktown.
It's a combined VW, Skoda and Honda dealership.

They gave me a courtesy car (free) and allowed me to return the next day to pick up as I couldn't make it back that day.

The car came back washed, the highbeams realigned and the car driving like a dream.

I've had 2 previous services done by Northshore.
They were told about the headlight alignment problem but did nothing although they stated it had been rectified.
And returned it unwashed.

I'll go back happily and am happy to give them my Polo GTI for service too.

May I ask , how much did the service cost?

[safetyman]

$400 I believe.

The car is under a novated lease so I don't normally see it until later.

30k service at Northshore was $380, after some negotiation. I have heard good things about Trivett Blacktown also, but just to far for me...

Just heard that there's a change of sales staff at Northshore Skoda, as they move up to where Mitsubishi was. (Mitsubishi has moved to where Holden is as they did not renew the Holden franchise)

Went to Northshore today as I needed my first service. Spoke to the salesman who looked after me when I got my car and he told me he was being laid off by Northshore Autogroup. All of the Skoda salesman have been laid off and he was the last one left but he managed to get a job at the West Pennant Hills (Alto Skoda) so good on him. Apparently there are going to be a lot of changes at Northshore with a brand new sales team. I wont go there since I really liked the service I got and didnt like them laying off someone who actually knew what he was doing.

When I change my car, I will be going to Alto.

Had my first service today at Rockdale Skoda.

They now have their workshop open on site. No complaints about the service, or the service...

Had the recall work done, fixed a squeak (one rear seat wasnt fully clicked into place apparently, felt like a dolt for not finding that) and the service manager said he would look into the fact I dont have a map DVD as the original dealer Mentone in Melbourne I beleive is out of business.

So overall happy would go back there for basic service and warranty work.

I have read all the messages on this thread looking for information about squeaks in the left dashboard. It seems a common problem & is very frustrating as it does not seem easily rectified. I was told by the Rockdale people that it's a matter of trial & error to get the right position of the "screw". They have had two attempts. Has anyone been to Trivett Skoda at Rosebery for a service? It would be convenient for me as I am in regional NSW with the closest dealer an hour away. I am in Sydney often.

Forgot to say I have 2011 Scout

I had an exhaust pressure sensor on my 2010 Scoutreplaced at Trivett Alexandria (Skoda dealer is Rosebery, service is O'Riordon St Alexandria). Hassle free, plenty of updates on what was happening and cost not billed to me

No idea about how they are at chasing down niggling problems though....

Good to know Inego ...thanks, I'll give them a try next! I also had a tow bar fitted & although the part with the ball is a genuine Skoda part with the incorrect rating for the Scout the actual bar has the label "Bar Boys". Can anyone enlighten me? My last car was a Saab 93 & I had two before that so Skoda is a big change for me & being female I'm not really into all the technical aspects of cars. The Scout felt good, drove well & was a similar size to the Saabs plus it ticked all my boxes. Just wondering about the tow bar though as I thought I was getting a genuine Skoda part.
