Just received the following communication from Richmond Skoda. Staff not aware of what the change means. Now I'll have to look at another place to service the car!

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Yeah I saw that, was like WTF? They were already building the new dealership next door for them and had big plans, as one of the Zagames had been over to SKoda HQ and was all revved up. So out of the blue, wonder who they sold to and whether it will still be the new building. They aren't saying its closing down, just sold. Eastside is right near my house but still uncertain about getting serviced there. I stuck by loyalty with Richmond but they haven't really stuck by me so things can only get better. -
Richmond Skoda - Zagame Automotive Group relocating/closing/new owners?
I am making my final payment on a car from there today. It's getting trucked to Sydney so I don't have service worries. It if I had bought locally I would be peeved. Wish I held out for a better deal !

Ah Morwell, I was thinking up near Bundoora near the uni, but its named after the valley not the area. I have Eastside skoda right near me but they still use the Mitsubishi service centre (shudders).Comment

Drove past there after getting an update email last week. There is South Yarra commercial VW there and a new office building being built. Supposedly servicing can start from later this week so I'm gonna guess that the VW dealer is the owner. BUt bad move combining those two unless the VW part is moving out. Audi/Skoda is a much better fit as they are differentiated enough.Comment

Essendon Skoda are taking over and will be setup in the new year for sales and service. Sucks cause cause I liked the Zagame service.Originally posted by Snail Style View PostComment

Oh god no, they are pretty much the worst dealer in Victoria. Looks like I'll be dealing with east side from now on.

Really? Oh dear. I just bought my car from Essendon (they're in Moonee Ponds now). What's wrong with them? Getting my car serviced at another main dealer is going to be a lot more hassle for me.Originally posted by woofy View PostMY16.5 Octavia RS wagon, manual, Moon White + tech pack + 18" black pack.Comment

Haven't dealt with them directly, but haven't heard good things about them either here or on the facebook pages. The guy who sold me my car at Zagames moved over there which caused chaos for me as well.Comment

I think I'll give Eastside Skoda a go for the next service and then see how things go. They seem to be ok with the service side of things. If that doesn't work out then I'll just take it to an independent.Walking Contradiction...
