Skoda brings the test drive to you

Skoda in St. Albans is the first ‘virtual’ retailer, helping customers find time to test drive its cars via the new Skoda2U initiative.

The scheme, launched jointly with Skoda Auto UK and Palmers Motor Company, allows customers to access the full range of dealer services without actually visiting a Skoda dealership.

Adrian Hewett, Territory Manager at Palmers, personally delivers the car to drivers’ homes or workplaces at a convenient time, providing the full retailer experience for customers whenever and wherever they choose.

Nigel Roome, Area Operations Manager for Skoda UK comments: “With time being so valuable we’re sure that customers will really appreciate a service such as Skoda2U, which simplifies the whole test drive process whilst bringing Skoda’s famous human touch to life.”

Adrian’s friendly, no obligation service provides information and advice, demonstrations, and a valuation of current vehicles for part exchange. He will even collect the Skoda after 24 hours if required. Skoda2U covers St. Albans, Luton, Hemel Hemstead, Berkhamstead and surrounding areas.

Danny Palmer, Managing Director at Palmers adds: “ Adrian basically comes to you and provides a full service in the comfort of your own home. Home and work place visits are his speciality.

”The full selection of vehicles to test drive is on offer and Adrian is able to price any part exchange there and then. He can then access the Skoda new car system which allows him to quote you not only delivery times but also order your car online and provide you with full financial quotations if necessary.

”We also ensure that you are getting all the latest offers and pricing information as you would do by visiting the dealership. So not only do we save you time, we can genuinely save you money,” adds Danny.

Robert Hazelwood, Brand Director at Skoda UK comments: “This is another reason why we can say that Skoda is the Manufacturer of Happy Drivers. Skoda2U is an exciting venture, further extending the reach of the Skoda brand. In working with our current partners, we can demonstrate our great range of products to new customers and show them why Skoda is so special.”
