Colbornes in Woking, Surrey has become the UK’s latest authorised Skoda retailer.

Colborne Garages previously specialised in the retail and servicing of VW and Audi and has now added Škoda to its portfolio to attract new customers and increase its offering to existing clients.

Tony Cook, head of business for Colbornes Škoda, said: “We wanted to be able to offer our customers a complete range of cars.

“Škoda will appeal to a new audience for us and we now believe that we have something for everyone.”

Cook said the Skoda franchise would help increase its fleet business.

He said: "Many businesses are looking to cut fleet hire costs this year while maintaining a high quality, reliable fleet and we believe that Škoda has models that tick all the fleet boxes.

"We think this initiative will prove to be a successful part of our business this year, especially with new introductions like the Superb estate that will appeal directly to the fleet market."
