NomadJoe Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) There is a VW dealer on Thepkasatri rd. just north of Phuket town near Mission Hospital and BMW. Edit: Looks like Barcelona BMW is the VW dealer.

tolsti Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I was at Mission Hospital yesterday and took a walk as I was early for my appointment. On the same side as the hospital about 150 mtrs towards Phuket town I saw Skodas in a showroom. Didn't note the name of the dealer though,,,, sorry.

They are the official Skoda dealers for Thailand I believe. They had the Superb and the Yeti in last time I was there and they have a small service place round the back.

Yes, they did. I was in there a couple of months ago when I was looking for a new car. I am a bit of a Czechophile and love Skoda. The Superb really lives up to its name (although I do admit it is rather a daft name) and I believe it is the best car for the money in Phuket. The Yeti looks like it could be fun too. Unfortunately it was my wife's car that we were changing and I just couldn't persuade her to go with a brand that she felt (probably correctly) would have poor resale value.

PattayaPhom Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Is it the model with the heated rear windscreen to keep your hands warm when pushing it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomartoh Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Just a follow up to my enquiry. I went to the the Yontrakit dealer and they had the scanning device needed to check out my car and did some follow up work. Helpful garage and not too expensive. Dont think that they have seen too many older :Skodas in Phuket. The Superb Estate looked good too me but i have cut my losses on cars in Thailand and the Octavia is with me until I expire. Will use this garage again although a bit of a drag from Krabi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
