Skoda Launches Summer Accessories Collection

MILTON KEYNES – July 29, 2009: As the holiday season rapidly approaches, Škoda is helping customers cover all eventualities with its summer accessories collection.

With over 50 items this accessories collection offers customers with a solution for their summer motoring requirements. The range includes roof racks, carrying equipment (including cycle, surfboard and kayak carriers and roof boxes), portable navigation, in-car entertainment, in-car storage solutions and European travel kits, all available from participating dealerships across the country.

Škoda has also teamed up with the RAC to provide help and advice to customers travelling in mainland Europe this summer. This information includes specific regulations as well as mandatory and recommended equipment required to drive legally in over 40 countries. Škoda recommends that customers contact their local dealer as part of their travel plans.

John Bower, Head of Aftersales at Škoda UK comments, “We want our customers’ summer motoring to be a pleasurable experience and our Škoda retailers are in a position to provide them with the right equipment and expertise. When travelling to Europe, for instance, our customers want the reassurance that their family and their possessions get to their destination problem-free, as well as having the peace of mind that they are complying with local laws and regulations.”

Škoda Original accessories are specifically designed for each model in the range guaranteeing a perfect fit; it also extends to earlier generation Škodas, including Felicia. All accessories come with a minimum two year warranty (or three years if purchased with a new car) and, where appropriate, have been rigorously crash tested to ensure they protect the driver, passengers and other road users.
