ŠkodaSpecialist.
Independent Škoda specialists in Hurst, Berkshire. Octavia VRS, Superb and the wider EA888 estate. Properly engineered diagnostics, servicing and calibration for the cars that deliver Volkswagen Group hardware at sensible money.
Why owners come to us
A specialist for the Škoda platform.
Škoda owners tend to be enthusiasts who like the engineering and the value in equal measure. We share that view. The Octavia VRS, Superb and Kodiaq VRS run the same fundamentally excellent EA888 hardware as their Volkswagen and Audi siblings, and reward the same engineering depth.
From timing chain refreshes on early EA888 Gen 1 cars through to bespoke calibration on a Mk3 / Mk4 VRS, we'll treat your daily driver with the same care we'd give a higher-profile build.
