Our Salesman David Peddle couldn't have done more for us, the hand over of our car was excellent connecting the apps for me, going through all the menus in detail & showing every detail of the car. The long wait was worth it, my new Enyaq 80 SportsLine is stunning

Just bought my first Skoda and I’m so pleased with the service I’ve received. Dominic was so helpful and friendly, made me feel completely at ease throughout the whole process. Listened to my questions, answered promptly via email prior to purchase and explained all paperwork as we went through the purchasing process.
I also was lucky enough to meet the technician who worked on my car. Harry was very knowledgeable, friendly and turned the car around so quickly. I was so impressed with his expertise.
I’d definitely recommend a visit for an easy, straightforward, supportive car purchase. Thank you again to the team at Underwoods.

Got my Skoda just over a year ago and I can't fault the car or service! I had salesman Kevin and he is absolutely lovely and no query was left unanswered! Everyone there is kind and friendly.

Jessica April (Aug 22) Colchester Branch - Google 5/5
A very good process. I contacted Underwoods online and received a quick telephone reply. Within ten days I had my new Kodiaq. The salesman Kevin sorted everything promptly and efficiently. Very pleased.
My only problem was that I found it difficult to park in the customer area when I came back last week to pick up some accessories I had ordered. Had to pull up against the entrance. Maybe you could keep plenty of spaces for customers? Things like that matter.
Also, it would be useful if you could give some advice as to where customers should park for the service?

Good morning I just wanted to make a review on my purchase but somehow it direct me to Sudbury and I buy car in Colchester underwood Skoda. I am very happy with customer service at the place Kevin was super supportive and Helpful. The only minus was the waiting time of the car. I was paying cash and was hoping for 3 days waiting time and it turns out I been waiting longer then a week. All other experience was perfect from all of the team in Colchester. I been receiving emails paperwork was strait forwards well communicated. Helpful on the pick up day. I even been shown how all the car buttons work! And this I must say was the first time which is a big compliment for Kevin! I’m a very busy person and he done bits in car radio in 5min which would take me a several hours to find out! One more time thank u very much and I’m sure we will be back in future to Colchester Skoda!!

Thank you Team 'Underwoods Skoda Colchester'!
We needed a car to replace our Diesel car, that caught fire. After looking at several makes and options, my wife and I travelled a few miles north and visited your show room, last Saturday afternoon.
David Peddel smiled at us, as we entered. He offered us chairs and asked if we wanted coffee, tea or a cold drink - it was a very hot day.
No "Do you want a new or used car? Lease of 2 or 3 years?" but instead "Please tell me how I can help you today". He then listen to our needs and wishes - "A comfortable mid- to full-size car, not a SUV, not an Electric car, 4 door, not new, but single owner in excellent condition".
After 10 or so minutes he admitted, that he did not think Underwoods had a car that matched our requirement, but to make sure, he asked to be excused, while he checked if there was a vehicle available that had not yet been entered into the Computer System.
While we had our coffee and looked at the cars in the show room, David returned and asked us to follow him outside.
Having checked with the Service Department, he had found an Octavia SE-L and driven it to the front door. It had arrived earlier that day.
We sat in it, liked it, had a 10 mile test drive and returned for another coffee. When we said, we needed to think about it, David agreed and said he'd reserve the car for us, but would like an answer by Monday, so he could add it to the System.
We called him Monday and paid a deposit. David said he'd try his best to have all the tests and valeting done by the end of the week.
He kept us informed and we collected the car on the Friday.
The paperwork was done in 20 minutes, the car was ready, in show-room condition! David spent half an hour showing me the various Infotainment options, as well as transferring my iPhone data onto it.
Had the car for a week now - and loving it.
N.B. We also visited Underwoods' Kia and Mazda show rooms; again very professional staff.

We recently purchased new Skoda Kodiaq Sportline in Colchester and we had a great service provided by Kevin. We had slightly better deal offered at Skoda Southend but at the end I convinced my husband to go with Colchester because salesman from Southend did not follow up with us and it felt as to he doesn't care whether Colchester gave us the opposite impression. Kevin was very professional and knowledgeable. I had a test drive with him and he made sure I'm comfortable and explained every details about the car. Overall I'm happy with my choice and can't wait to pick up new car in April.

My recent experience when changing my car at Underwoods has been right up there with that experienced over a number of years. The staff are always friendly and helpful without being intrusive, and always put themselves out to give honest replies to questions without loads of ‘salesman's flannel’. Over the years, I have enjoyed visiting Underwoods and even now, when in my very late eighties, they pick up my car for service and return it, without quibble. Well done Underwoods, your service is second to none.

Brian (July 21) Colchester Branch - Email
We were really pleased with the help we received from Kev who showed us the cars that suited our (admittedly narrow) specifications and allowed us time to look around them with no pressure so we could make our decision. We were then seen through the sale with Ian and my partner picked up the car the following week. Skoda do a thorough job with their second hand cars which is very reassuring.

I do not appreciate pushy salespeople but at no point did I feel pressured. The whole process was made easy and we had a new car within a matter of weeks.

We would like to express our thanks for the excellent service received from yourself and all members of your staff on 29 January 2020 when we purchased our car from your Skoda dealership.
Special thanks are due to your salesman Mr Mark Hitchcock who dealt with the transaction on a most efficient and helpful way. He explained everything about the vehicle in a comprehensive and friendly manner, and answered our very numerous questions to our complete satisfaction.
Originating in Essex, we have many relatives and friends here, and keep in touch through retired public sector staff associations. We will convey our high regard for your company to many former colleagues.
We are very pleased with the car. Meeting you all in your smart showroom was a most enjoyable experience.

I’d just like to say that my meetings with Mr Dominic Pyle were absolutely first rate. He’s a gentleman and a genuine guy. I never felt under any pressure and was simply shown what options were available to me. I ended up buying a small car which so far has been excellent. When I visited the dealership in Colchester (Skoda) a few months later, Dominic was straight over to greet my wife, son and I. It made me think that the after sales service is as good as the before, which is unusual and so pleasing to see! Dominic is a credit to Skoda! We will be back.

Full marks to Tyler Young, as he knew what he was talking about, wasn't pushy and was extremely helpful finding the right car for my needs. I have been fortunate to own various makes of cars over the years and this is now my 2nd Skoda and I'm really pleased with it and I have to question why pay more for other more expensive brands, when a Skoda offers the same quality and luxury and at a more affordable price. Would thoroughly recommend Underwoods and Tyler.

On Friday 2nd August I purchased a 2016 Skoda Yeti 1.2 SEL from Underwoods Skoda in Sudbury. I would like to thank Terry Cranfield for the very thorough and professional help that he provided to my wife and myself. We had been looking for some time to replace our 2007 Skoda Roomster with another Skoda and had decided that the Yeti was the right model for us. Furthermore we had visited another Skoda dealership in West Suffolk but in our experience Underwoods is streets ahead in terms of efficiency and sorting out any problems.

We were happy with the friendly and efficient service we received whilst buying our Skoda Yeti. Terry was very helpful, explaining everything in detail and didn't let us go until he was happy that we understood everything about the car and the paperwork.

Came to get a new car after being in a bad accident and finally plucking up the courage to get back behind the wheel. I was served by Tyler and Darryl who were both excellent. Tyler was very knowledgeable about the cars and helped me choose the right fit for my needs. He was incredibly patient while I kept changing my mind about which colour to order (the most important detail!). Darryl was also very knowledgeable and the whole showroom was welcoming and friendly. I didn’t feel like I was being sold anything that I didn’t need and I didn’t feel intimidated, which other dealerships have made me feel. I’m very excited to get my new car and would highly recommend Underwoods to anyone who is car shopping who made a daunting experience seamless and professional whilst being so very welcoming.

We wish to put on record the superb service we received from Terry when we purchased a newer Yeti recently.
Throughout our dealings with Terry he was thoroughly professional and there was nothing that he would not do to help us through the paperwork and eventual pick up of the car on 6th April.
His knowledge of the product was exemplary and we know that we can contact Terry at any time with our questions, and he would be the same friendly person.
He certainly is an asset to Underwoods and I would recommend all my friends if they are looking for a new car, to visit Terry for a pleasant experience.
Yours

Overall we are very satisfied with the customer service and particularly our salesman (thank you Sanjiv). The staff were very friendly and readily available to help after we received the car.

Otherwise we would thoroughly recommend the car and Underwoods.

We took delivery of our 2nd Skoda a week ago. We’ve had a Yeti for two and a half years and as can’t we bear the thought of loosing it we’ve added a Kodiaq. So that’s three cats, a dog and two bears.
Underwoods were great to deal with in 2016 so there was no hesitation in returning for the Kodiaq. David Peddel was very helpful and pleasant to deal with and we’re delighted with the car, that arrived a couple of weeks earlier than predicted. 1.5 SE L 7 str. Business Grey, virtual cockpit.
Mr Bateman (February 2019) Colchester Branch - Recommends
I went to Sudbury because I had become aware of both the dealership and the large selection of used Yetis. This was just what I was looking for and I found my ideal car without any problem .A very easy deal was made with Terry and I picked up the car a week later.
I have been as pleased with the new car as I was with its Underwood supplied predecessor and hope that that will continue . I have selected the service plan again as I am convinced of the value of a main dealer service history.

Last Monday morning I arrived at your showroom with a very dodgy front tyre on my Fabia. I had manages to bring the car to you from the hospital, where my wife is having radiotherapy. The tyre had gone down while we were in the hospital, so I reinflated it and carefully drove to you.
Paul Hollidge got on to our case, and although you did not have a replacement tyre., he patiently asked around the tyre establishments in Colchester to find the right one for us. This took hime some time, during which he was unfailingly helpful, reassuring and efficient. Eventually he tracked down National Tyres, and fixed the damaged tyre so it would get us there.
My wife and I are immensely grateful to Paul for his support and professional help. Without this we would have been at a loss as to what to do, and he effectively solved the problem for us. We also received friendly support from other members of your staff. I have no doubt that when I buy my next Skoda (some time away, alas) I will certainly come to Underwoods.
Mr Purrett (September 18) Colchester Branch - Letter
We had been somewhat stymied by the new (very laudable) EU regulations about car emissions which meant that Glyn Hopkin Colchester could not provide us with a new car to replace our Qashqai at the end of our PCP deal. Unfortunately Glyn Hopkin (and Nissan Finance) did not seem concerned about this impasse. We had a very constructive discussion instead with Andy at Underwoods Mazda about a CX-5 but alas we missed the opportunity to grab the last available CX-5 processed under the old regulations. I went to various dealers and they all looked very glum about the situation and the prospect of finding a car to suit our needs by the end-date of our PCP agreement. Julian, Sales Manager at Underwoods Skoda, however, began with a positive approach and managed to pin down an excellent Karoq alternative to our Qashqai. It was clear that he had a real interest in the cars himself, and was also sensitive to our requirements. I was then taken through the PCP process by Tyler Young who was as kind and helpful as one could wish. We were kept informed all along the way about the progress of our car delivery to Colchester and then Tyler organised the pick-up date to coincide exactly with our return of the Qashqai to Nissan Finance. Tyler even came in on his day off to hand over the car to us and show us around everything. Since then, we've loved pretty much everything about the car and my wife says that she feels safer driving this car than any other car we've had. The safety features are excellent (but can take a little getting used to because they are trying to keep you safe) so we have learned to switch off the auto-engine-stop and 'soft handbrake' as we reverse back and forth without seatbelts into our narrow car-port. It is such a joy to be in the car. I have driven from Colchester to Chester and back and the whole journey was relaxing, with very good fuel economy (60 mpg), whereas three journeys in three different hire cars to Loughborough (Mercedes, Fiat and Ford) have been, to put it mildly, an effort by comparison. There's only one thing that I would perhaps like to see improved in the Karoq: a seat position that is not so sunken even on highest seat position so that the back of my thighs are not so pressured on a long journey (a cushion currently solves this). Other than that, an absolutely excellent vehicle. We've been back to Underwoods at Tyler's invitation in order to check that all is going well. He guided us through one or two of the excellent screen-controlled functions of the car that I'd not yet got my head round. All in all, it's a case of feeling that we were valued, that the car is excellent, and that we are very happy with the whole thing. Thank you Underwoods Skoda, Tyler and Julian (and a note of thanks also to Andy at Underwoods Mazda for also trying so hard to help us).

I cannot fault the service I received when purchasing my used car, this was the third time I have bought a car from Underwoods. The salesman was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in explaining the sale conditions and the details of the car. Previously I have bought Peugeot cars but decided on a Skoda this time. Although the car is almost 5 years it has very low mileage and is in excellent condition. Slightly more money than I would have liked but I'm more than happy with my purchase. I also cannot praise the particular salesman,who I have dealt with twice before on my previous purchases.
I have every faith in him that he delivers what he says and I feel the service I have received has always been second to none.

My only other input is parking, I parked in the big car park and got moaned at by a rude lady member of staff saying it's allocated parking and I was in some bodies spot, the car park says private and permit holders but nothing to indicated allocated, I got told spaces without numbers are not allocated and funny that they happen to be at the end of the massive empty car park. If it wasn't for that car park there is nowhere to park to attend the dealership, I may not have a £30k brand new car but I use the parts dept to keep genuine parts on my old car so I am a customer at the end of the day, maybe staff should remember that sometimes.
