About Škoda
Adopted by VW and known for its lower premium with the same VAG experience, Škoda is the brand for people who like clever touches, huge boots and an umbrella tucked in the door. The only downside is it's so sensible your mates might start asking you for lifts.
AutoECU covers almost every Škoda on UK roads: spare and lost keys, upgrade keys, fob repairs, factory add-on coding and module replacements. If your Octavia vRS wants a bit more, our partner tuners can help.

Škoda questions
Can you make a spare key for my Škoda?
Yes, we cover almost every Škoda on UK roads, with standard, upgrade-style and keyless keys available. Lost keys can be deactivated so they won't start the car. Contact AutoECU with your registration to book in.
Can you activate lane assist or CarPlay on my Octavia or Superb?
Often, yes, as many Škodas already have the hardware and just need coding, while others can be retrofitted. It depends on model, year and spec. Send AutoECU your reg and we'll tell you what's possible.
My Škoda dashboard has gone blank or the car won't start. Can you help?
Cluster, comfort module and immobiliser faults are common on older Fabias and Octavias, and many can be repaired or the module replaced and coded. Get in touch with AutoECU and we'll diagnose it.
Need something done on your Škoda?
We'll fill in the make for you. Just add your reg and what's wrong.
