If you drive a Škoda, you want someone close to home who knows the VAG family properly — timing belts, Haldex, DSG — rather than a longer trip every time the Octavia or Kodiaq comes due. Škodas come through our workshop at Stairfoot every week, so the cars, the quirks and the service schedules are familiar ground.
At anycolourcar.com, we think you shouldn't have to choose between quality and convenience.

"I've spent over 30 years in the motor trade, a lot of it in franchised dealers. The standard of work doesn't come from the badge on the door. It comes from the people, the parts and the kit. We've got all three, without the overheads."
— Jonathan Seaman, Managing Director, anycolourcar.com
Our service centre at Stairfoot gives you main-dealer-level work with the value and personal service of a local, family-owned business.
Main dealer quality:
Skilled, EV-trained technicians who work on Škoda models every week
OEM-approved parts
OEM-grade diagnostic and workshop equipment, the same standard you'd find at a franchised dealer
High-grade Shell oils and digital service history updates where your car supports it
Without the main dealer "tax":
No franchise overheads built into your bill
No inflated labour rates
No unnecessary miles for a routine service — we're a few minutes from the centre of Barnsley
Our sales team works on a no-commission basis, and the workshop runs the same way. Nobody earns more by talking you into work you don't need. You get a clear diagnosis and a written estimate before any major job starts.
We see Škodas of every age and mileage, from a Fabia in for a routine service to a Kodiaq that's covered serious ground. Across the Fabia, Octavia, Superb, Karoq, Kodiaq, Enyaq and the rest of the range, we handle:
Scheduled servicing to the manufacturer's schedule
Brakes, suspension, exhaust and clutch work
Timing belt replacement
DSG gearbox servicing and diagnostics
Haldex 4×4 servicing
Warning light diagnosis
Hybrid and electric vehicle servicing
If you're not sure what yours is due, bring the service book along or give us a ring, and we'll check it against the schedule for you.
No. UK competition law protects your right to have your car serviced by an independent garage during the manufacturer warranty. A manufacturer can't refuse warranty cover just because the servicing wasn't done by a franchised dealer. It only needs to follow the manufacturer's schedule, use parts of matching quality, and be properly recorded.
That's exactly how we work, and every service is fully documented. If a warranty repair or recall is needed, that still goes through the franchised network, and we'll tell you when that's the case.
No. We're an independent, family-owned business. That independence is what lets us offer main dealer standards without main dealer prices.
Yes, we arrange it for you. The test itself is carried out at a partner testing station, so just mention it when you book your service.
Not at all. Our service centre is open to everyone, whatever you drive and wherever you bought it.
