Autohaus Northshore is a boutique independent European car workshop in Sydney’s Northshore offering Skoda car repairs and Skoda servicing.
Skoda was created by two Czech designers at the turn of last century and is now owned by Volkswagon. Skoda cars share the mechanical platform of Volkswagons, using Volkswagon engines, gear boxes, suspension, brakes and electronic components. As a Volkswagon specialist, we have the parts, tools and equipment to service the Skoda range. This gives us the capability to extend our service to Skoda customers.
We are an award-winning, independent European car workshop, offering European quality repairs and servicing to our customers in the Northshore, Northern Districts and Hills District.
We can save you up to 30% on the service and repair of your Skoda, in comparison to dealer prices.
The Skoda service schedules are mechanical and chassis platforms. They work on mileage and time with set criteria; below is a snapshot of the manufacturer’s approach.
