Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Changing review because of much better service from Stephen Eaton after my last visit 2 years later."
  • "Sales manager quickly found a car that matched my needs while we were on the phone, and I was able to test drive and purchase the car the same morning."
  • "Outstanding service and great value."
  • "High quality customer care from staff went out of their way to meet my requirements."
  • "Great service provided by Terry, Wayne & colleagues."
  • "Thanks especially to both Andrew and Steve who communicated with me quickly and efficiently."
  • "Excellent service 👏. Our sales rep, Natalia was absolutely brilliant, friendly, professional."

Cons:

  • "However, this car showroom is very busy and early communications were a bit erratic."
  • "The receptionist is hopeless. Spent an age saying there were no cars available to see, then we went on the forecourt and found cars available ourselves."
  • "Useless place when I was trying to buy a car a year ago. Never picked up the phone."
  • "Looks like il take my business elsewhere. Awful service."
  • "And don't bother trying to get through on the phone to find out anything because they just don't answer it, especially at lunch time."

Sales Experience

  • "Very impressed by demonstration and information provided by sales executive."
  • "I originally intended to just buy a Skoda Superb from Marshalls Croydon. However, I was so impressed by the friendly and polite manner of the receptionist and Daniel the sales person that I ended up buying Skoda Fabia as well."
  • "Once I decided on the model with all the bells & whistles - the process was excellent."

Cons:

  • "Edit 2: Just seen they removed their comment, which makes my previous edit look stupid."
  • "Edit: To your response...the marketing preference has been sorted, you charged me for it!"
  • "The sunroof worked for approximately two weeks until it failed again."
  • "Communication problem at their end combined with Skoda halting production because of the chip crisis messed up my order."
  • "Have had a lot of servicing and repairs done here and usually no problems. Past 12 months has seen big problems."
  • "Walked into this Skoda retailer to get some quote for a company car. What an absolute joke - there was no one around to assist."

  • "Poor salesmanship from the guy we were dealt with."
  • "A bit slow to start with, the confirmation of car reservation from the online enquiry form took longer than the promised 24 hours."
  • "When I asked why he hadn't informed me and avoided wasting my time his response was... He wasn't in work yesterday when it was sold."
  • "Bad customer service - don’t have space to even look at our faulty Škoda for 3 months and rarely answer their phones."
  • "Were supposed to phone us after Škoda roadside assistance referred us to them but they don’t call and don’t answer their phones."
  • "Also when I did once get through they tried to fob me off and tell me to drive my dangerous car miles away with my baby rather than help."

Product Quality

Pros:

  • "I DO NOT LIKE BUYING CARS but at Marshall Skoda they make it so easy, they know the cars inside out."

  • "However collection was done in the dark (late November 2021), which clearly was hiding build quality issues."
  • "Still not received video of underside of vehicle!!!???"
  • "Unexpected break down lead to recovery to the service centre and return for some rectifications thereafter."
  • "Unfortunately my car experienced some issues and had to be recovered. It was dropped off at Skoda Croydon."

  • "I DO NOT LIKE BUYING CARS but at Marshall Skoda they make it so easy, they know the cars inside out, there is never any pressure, and they spend all the time you need. And the coffee is great, and the after sales is very good." (This sentence is listed as a con due to the initial negative sentiment expressed by the customer, despite the positive outcome.)
