Frustrating experience and no proper and professional support.

I had bought a Skoda Kodiaq which is ABSure certified two months back. After driving for a few hundred kms, I have had consistent problems with the suspension. No proper support has been provided and the partner service stations have absolutely to dignity to acknowledge that there is a problem. This is post providing them with the proper diagnosis of the car from authorized Skoda service centres (two service centres). The partner service centres have no experience to deal with premium vehicles. The would rather give you excuses than attend the problem. Further, there is no provision of getting the cars checked under warranty from the manufacturer. It is evident that the warranty is not provided to address any future problems in the vehicle in a systematic way. Since taking the car to the authorize service centre is going to bring up further problems, these people very conveniently send their customers to such service stations who either don't have the expertise to deal with the complexity of the vehicles or deny any problems (to the advantage of the warranty provider). It has been a harrowing experience, only two months after buying the car. Please consider carefully before buying any vehicle which is certified by Carwale. They don't care for customer satisfaction.

Extremely Overpriced

If you want comfort in a 5 seater car with good luggage capacity --- Creta/Seltos. --you save 20 lacs. If you want great safety and ride handling good reliable engine -- Harrier/XUV500 -- You save 20 lacs. If you want specific off-roader --- Thar -- save 25lacs If you want good off-roader and lot of luggage space Insane custom options-- upcoming Isuzu VCROSS -- save 15 lacs Exceedingly Overpriced. with the saving on all other options you can drive and maintain them for 10-15 years of ownership. BUT you got money, no one is stopping you. Don't worry about the 7 seater shit no one can sit there for any off-road situation where this car is meant to go. And if you are sitting 7 good luck fitting in your luggage. The saving on the all above cars is much better to deal than the TOYOTA engine. Plus after the merger with Maruthi Suzuki, they have started building some kind of bodies. Build quality has down. So Sad to see such a great brand taking this route for profit destroying all the trust they build over so many years.
