Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a Skoda Fabia 1.2 with a registration number DL13 C 1181. I bought this car in July last year. After 10 days of purchase the car was sent to the workshop (Sai Automobiles Noida Sec.63) as there was some noise from the engine & finally the engine belt was changed. After my repeated compaints & regular turn ups at the workshop (after 20-25days) the car was again sent at the workshop for 20-25 days during which the Catalyc Converter & Engine Head was replaced. After that for about 3-4 months the car was running absolutely fine. Then suddenly out of the blues the effectiveness of the AC dips down which was looked into but with no results & moreover making it worse that now when I leave my car with the AC on at Idle position there is lot of vibration. Astonishingly the reply that I got from the workshop people is that it is standard in a Skoda Fabia. After that the car stops after some jerks while driving at a normal speed to which there is no resolution. I was advised by the 24 Hour Helpline executives to take the car to Continental Automobiles at Mathura Road. After Sai Automobiles my Car is burning rubber at Continental Automobiles for the past two weeks but there is no solution to it. Adding salt to the wounds the windscreen of my car is broken at the workshop & there is no history of the car which exists or which can be shared with the owner.
Few things I would like to tell you First of All Change your Adline :
Skoda : Obsessed with Quality Since 1895.
I think that does not make sense & moreover stop claiming that you are a Premium Hatchback as there is nothing premium about it.
I have spent Rs.6.40 Lacs onroad for this car & out of the total period of ownership of 1 Year the car was actually at the workshop for 4 months & still it runs the same.
Now I am that fed up that I would say please return my money for this car as I do not want to own a Skoda.
