I called in Skoda today to carry on my mission of finding a new car, and I feel this is the perfect…read moreplace for my 600th review on Yelp, as it shows a wide array of places they are to review on yelp, rather than just restaurants, which people might think.
RRG own a good amount of garages in the north west, including a Toyota and Peugeot dealership in Rochdale alone, this one in particular is for Skoda, and is one of 2 Skoda dealerships in RRG, alongside a branch in Bolton.
This is quite a nice dealership, with a good range of cars from the Skoda range, with some award-winning models including the Superb, Flagship and Octavia being stocked here, with of course the new "65" plates.
Gordon was very nice, and we had a chat about the RRG group in general as well as certain cars which would be right for me, I did like the Fabia, which was quite a nice car with a decent boot, and did have some very good add-ons, including metallic paint for around £500, and a sat-nav built in for around £250, which can be 2,3,4 times that with other manufacturers such as Nissan.
The inside part is quite nice, and although not as modern as Nissan or Toyota in Rochdale for example, it is still nice and is being refurbished soon, to be finished for Christmas, to get it "All Skoda's up", to quote my salesman.
They is an outside part too with a good number of parking, but most of the staff as well as newer, nicer cars do tend to be inside, and you do have to pass through here to take a look at the cars outside, with them all being locked, which is understandable, and is like that at all dealerships.
I was disappointed not to see any "free-drink" making facilities, which the likes of BMW and Nissan do have, and they is a few other minor flaws like this.
Overall, this is quite a nice dealerships with some good cars, and really helped to change my opinion of Skoda being an older, unpopular car to quite a nice, cool car which can be competitive on the market, and is definitely one of the garages worth checking out, while looking for a car in the area. I still feel 3 stars is a fair rating for Skoda, and hopefully I'll be back soon for a test-drive, and an updated review!
