Škoda Faults? We’ll Find Them
From time to time your Škoda may have malfunctions. Don’t worry if your car has a warning light illuminated or something is not working as it should, we are here to help.
Our technicians use the latest technology and fault-finding techniques to limit the time taken to diagnose your fault. This not only saves you time, getting you back on the road faster – but also saves you money.
Our initial inspection is £72 plus VAT, enabling us to carry out an hour’s work to diagnose your car’s fault. If you have a warning light illuminated such as the engine management, DPF warning, ABS or Airbag then it is advisable to get it checked out as prolonged use could cause further damage.
If a warning light does appear on the dash panel, it is important to have it checked as soon as possible. Certain warning lights can signify deeper issues within your car, potentially causing break downs in the middle of a journey. Prolonged driving with warning lights showing will also cause further damage to pre-existing issues, meaning more work, and more money spent.
All of our technicians are manufacturer trained, so you can be certain that your Škoda is in good hands. Once diagnosed, you will be given a fixed quote based on our findings for the repair your car needs.
Sometimes, one fault can unfortunately lead to another. If this is indeed the case, you are free to return to Sultas to discuss further work. If you do choose our team to undertake your repair, work will be carried out to the highest standard.
Visit our warning light page to see what you’re dealing with, and feel free to contact us to book an appointment. If you are unsure which light is illuminated please call us on 0113 279 7992.
