The customers can also opt for a service cost calculator which has been developed to ensure that they have an idea about their service bill beforehand. This initiative provides the customer with an estimate of the service cost, thereby reducing the ambiguity on the service billing. With the online service appointment option and a Skoda Service APP for Android and iOS which enables a customer to search for authorized service centre in any part of the country and contact them with a single click; Skoda has provided a complete array of customer care services to support the launch of the new Octavia.

"The new Octavia is our attempt to make the best car in its class and we are confident that it will redefine standards in its segment. By virtue of being built on the Group's MQB platform, the new Octavia is larger and yet lighter than its predecessors.
