We recommend that you use ŠKODA Genuine Accessories in your vehicle. ŠKODA
AUTO a.s. has selected such accessories to ensure that they are reliable, safe and
suitable for your particular vehicle. Although we constantly monitor the market,
we are not able to assess or warrant the parts even though in some instances
such parts may have a type approval or may have been approved by a nationally
recognised testing laboratory.
All accessory products go through a fastidious process in the area of technical de-
velopment (technical tests) and quality inspection (customer tests), and only if all
tests are positive does the product become a ŠKODA Genuine Accessory.
Our ŠKODA Genuine Accessories service also provides expert advice, and profes-
sional fitting at the customer's discretion.
ŠKODA service partners are liable for any ŠKODA Genuine Part defects for a peri-
od of 2 years after installation or delivery in accordance with the materials defect
liability, provided that nothing else was agreed in the purchase contract or in any
other agreements. You should keep the approved warranty certificate and the bill
for these components for this period of time, so that commencement of the term
may be verified.
In addition, ŠKODA Service Partners also stock a range of suitable car care prod-
ucts as well as those parts which are subject to natural wear-and-tear, such as
tyres, batteries, bulbs and wiper blades.
Note
The accessories authorized by the company ŠKODA AUTO a.s. will be offered by
the ŠKODA partners in all countries where the company ŠKODA AUTO a.s. has a
sales and service network. This will usually be in the form of a printed catalogue
of Original ŠKODA Accessories, in the form of separate printed brochures or in the
form of offers for ŠKODA Genuine Accessories on the ŠKODA partner web pages.
