Even the smartest drivers can get into trouble sometimes. Luckily, we’re always along for the ride, offering free membership to our roadside assistance. That’s transport and accommodation, if necessary, anywhere in Australia. So you can get out there and explore without any worries.

Every new ŠKODA vehicle includes a complimentary one-year roadside assistance, from the warranty start date. The complimentary roadside assistance will subsequently be renewed on an annual basis for the second, third, fourth and fifth years, if the vehicle is returned to an Authorised ŠKODA dealer for scheduled maintenance (as per the ŠKODA service program) up to a maximum of five years.

Here’s an easy checklist of things to remember when calling us:

• Your name and telephone number
• Your location, with nearest cross street if possible
• A description of the problem or emergency
• Your vehicle registration number

Of course, we aren’t the only ones who will be worrying about you after a breakdown or an accident. In that event, we’ll relay urgent messages to friends, family or business associates that may be affected or concerned by the delay. It’s a simple gesture, but an important one.
