I bought a new Skoda Fabia from Autobahn (prabhadevi) around the 15 March 2012. A week later as I was getting my seat covers fixed, the guys showed me a scary site. The metal frames of our brand new car's front two seats were rusted to the point of metal corrosion. (when we touched the metal, bits of the rusted metal were falling off!)
I called the Autobahn salesman. First they said they were in a shock and blamed Skoda for this.
I went over to Autobahn and asked to speak to the Manager (nikhil) who spoke very well in person and the next day onwards stop answering my calls.
Anyway, new replacement seats came to the workshop in 10-12 days but they were rusted as well!
Seems like all the Skoda parts that come to India are really old and rusted. Its been a month and I haven't heard a word from them, inspite of our follow up phone calls
A piece of advice: please check your new Skoda car thoroughly before accepting it.or beter still don't buy a Skoda.
All the after sales scary stories are real. If you want any spare part give yourself at least a 2 month head start.
When you go to buy your Skoda, the sales person will tell you that there are no problems for spares now, cause Volkswagon has a plant in Pune. But all the parts are still imported. Seems like all the ones here are really old and rusted
Beware of the sales talk. It's sad, but i think Maruti is probably a better option for India.
