Skoda Fabia - Where 2 buy Spare Skoda Fabia service schedule? - Shuyel Bari

Hi,

Greetings to everyone on the AskHJ forum there's always a really good

buzz among the contributors and topics under discussion.

My Question

Where do you buy spare entries for a service schedule. I just successfully

put my little Czech star through her 4th yearly service with no major worry or concerns on my vehicle since it's previous service.

Unbeknown to me my usually mechanic who does the paperwork there was no space free

on the current schedule.

I did look on Ebay for a schedule book, is that an acceptable source to purchase a genuine service schedule, would the service originating from Ebay be acceptable for the next owner we're I to sell the vehicle?

Lastly, why doesn't manufacturers or motor traders offer these on a concessionary basis, surely legitimate documentation is paramount if they were to accept PartExch, or outright buy a used, or Logged mileage vehicle.

It is paper after all, is there a bottom line on car sellers forking out on paper for clients and customers.

Apologies if it came across terse in the last sentence, look forward to hearing your constructive answers. Have a peaceful, delightful Christmas and New Year.

Welcome.

Isn't the service logged on-line now?

A stamped book is easy to forge anyway, I would prefer to see invoices.

Problem with service books is that unless you left yours on the passenger seat (for example) often no-one remembered to stamp it - and if you handed it in at reception it might get lost in the office. If the on-line entry is forgotten it's much harder for the customer to [a] be aware and [b] do anything about it until a reminder may come a year later ?

My 2014 Skoda Superb didn't come with a service book from new but it was electronically stored at the dealer and I used to get a full service history printout after every service. After about 6 years I decided to use my local independent garage instead so I sourced a blank Skoda service book online and stapled the last dealer service history in the front and got the garage to document / stamp service history / repairs thereafter which I recently passed on to a new owner.

Strangely my replacement car a 2024 Suzuki Swace has come with an old fashioned service book.
