Essendon Skoda are taking over and will be setup in the new year for sales and service. Sucks cause cause I liked the Zagame service.

Oh god no, they are pretty much the worst dealer in Victoria. Looks like I'll be dealing with east side from now on.

Really? Oh dear. I just bought my car from Essendon (they're in Moonee Ponds now). What's wrong with them? Getting my car serviced at another main dealer is going to be a lot more hassle for me.

Haven't dealt with them directly, but haven't heard good things about them either here or on the facebook pages. The guy who sold me my car at Zagames moved over there which caused chaos for me as well.

I think I'll give Eastside Skoda a go for the next service and then see how things go. They seem to be ok with the service side of things. If that doesn't work out then I'll just take it to an independent.

I almost bought from Eastside but gave Zagame the chance as my other RS was from there and had been serviced there. Between the stuff getting broken in my major service a year ago leading to a tow truck being needed to get it back there, and the worst new car handover I've ever experienced and ongoing issues with that I think I gave them a fair go. So will see how Eastside fare. My only concern is I haven't heard great things about that Mitsubishi service dept there and they are the same service centre. But they are right near my house so worth looking into.

Got my first service with Eastside next week (just the free 1500k checkup) but will be good to see how they operate. Must say I've been very impressed by their Service Manager though, i believe they moved him across from Mitsubishi but seems like a top bloke, good with communication and very attentive as I had a few questions just after i picked the car up which he was more than happy to go through on the spot with me.

Oh they don't do the servicing in the Mitsubishi part anymore?

not entirely sure but he mentioned that he has moved across from Mitsubishi so it sounded like they have a dedicated Skoda department now. i'll find out next week!
