Palmers Skoda in St Albans will take cars to customers for test drives, under a new initiative called Skoda2U.

The scheme, launched jointly with Skoda UK and Palmers, allows customers to access the full range of dealer services without actually visiting a Skoda dealership.

Adrian Hewett, Palmers territory manager, delivers the car to drivers’ homes or workplaces at a convenient time.

Nigel Roome, Skoda UK area operations manager for said: "With time being so valuable we’re sure that customers will really appreciate a service such as Škoda2U."

Danny Palmer, Palmers managing director added: “The full selection of vehicles to test drive is on offer and Adrian is able to price any part exchange there and then.

"He can then access the Škoda new car system which allows him to quote you not only delivery times but also order your car online and provide you with full financial quotations if necessary."
