Skoda Cars Fan Club Russia
Brief description, history and activities

Skoda Cars Fan Club Russia is an informal community of Skoda car owners in Russia. Our birthday is 22 May 1998 when the first meeting of Skoda car owners from Moscow and suburbs took place. Initially Club has arised as an organization for sharing the experience in Skoda car usage. Later it became an instituition representing the interests of Skoda car owners as well as a place where club members could advise and help each other in the maintenance, service and repair of their cars. Club's membership is absolutely voluntary.

Since its establishment Club has united more than 600 owners of Skoda cars. Now we have members from Russia as well as Russian speaking persons from CIS countries, Norway, Israel and Czech Republic. In Moscow region we do have our own "911" service - SMEL (Skoda Moscow Emergency List) to help Club members in emergency situations. The Club has a very good relationship with Skoda dealers in Russia which helps its members to get the best service available.

We have a meeting point at one of the most famous Moscow regions - Vorob'evi Gori (Vorob'ev mountains) - that is where active Club members meet regulary to discuss and plan Club's activities and just to talk about Skoda news and their own car performance. Club members often go outside of Moscow for a short ride or a long trip.
