Skoda Warranty
Skoda Warranty Review
Aside from the used approved warranty, provided when you buy a used Skoda from a main dealer, there is an extended warranty available to all Skoda owners.
If not buying the car from a dealer, it will have to undergo a £75 health check before it is deemed eligible. The policy is described below so that you can compare the Skoda warranty with one provided by an independent supplier.
We advise noting the following issues when considering a Skoda extended warranty:
- Is this an insurance policy?
- Yes, the policy is administered by Car Care Plan.
- How do Skoda define ‘wear and tear?'
- Opinions on what constitutes ‘wear and tear' vary greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer and insurer to insurer.
We also advise making sure you know the period you need the car to be covered for. This will affect the price of independent warranties that you may want to compare with the Skoda warranty.
For further Skoda car warranty details, and a warranty comparison to alternative warranty providers, please refer to our Skoda Car Warranty Comparison Chart.
