Skoda UK is backing a summer aftersales offer designed to bring drivers into its franchised network.

The carmaker is promoting an air-con and brake fluid service fixed at £89, which it says is a £35 saving of the cost of the two jobs being carried out separately.

Warren Richards, Skoda’s head of service and parts, said: "It's important for us to ensure that once Skoda cars are out on the roads, regular aftersales checks are in place to maintain the efficient running of our vehicles.”

He said the aircon and brake fluid deal is a great way to ensure a vehicle is prepped for the coming months, so that you can enjoy hassle-free motoring all summer.

As part of the offer, Skoda's trained technicians will check pollen filters and systems for leaks and decontaminate them to reduce bacteria and pollutants. The service will also include extensive checks and a change of refrigerant and lubrication oil, to maintain vehicle efficiency.

To ensure Skoda drivers are kept safe on the roads, the service will include an inspection of the car's brakes and a change of brake fluid. This will help maintain optimum braking efficiency, while protecting the whole braking system against wear and corrosion. Skoda’s technicians will then run a final check to ensure everything is working correctly.
