Independent Skoda Servicing in Wimbledon

Waterfall are an independent garage in Wimbledon specialising in VAG group vehicles (Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Skoda) and BMW / MINI. Our fully trained technicians use dealer level diagnostic equipment, which allows us to take care of all your Skoda service and maintenance, MOT, and any Skoda repair needs.

How to save money on a Skoda service

Before legislation that came into force some time ago, it was hard to have a new Skoda service for your car outside the franchised dealer network without it affecting the warranty, but now you are no longer tied to the high prices charged by your local main dealer. Independent garages like Waterfall can maintain and service your Skoda from brand new, using genuine VAG parts, without it having any effect on your warranty.

We are big enough to compete with the main dealers, yet small enough to give a personal service

What’s more, we are just 5 minutes walk from the major public transport links in Wimbledon town centre, so bringing us your Skoda for servicing while you are en route to work couldn’t be easier or more convenient. We also offer a FREE valet with each full service, and a local pick-up and drop-off service.
