SKODA has axed its three years/45,000 mile free servicing offer on both its Fabia and Felicia ranges and, consequently, has cut prices by £299 on all Fabia models and £199 on the Felicia range. The manufacturer says the move completes the company's new car pricing changes and brings the Fabia and Felicia package into line with the new Octavia which went on sale at the end of last month.

Skoda's pricing structure still includes three years/unlimited mileage warranty, three years roadside assistance, a year's road tax and delivery fuel.
