I’ve worked at a Skoda garage for years – drivers STILL don’t realise their motors have helpful hidden features
A CAR dealer working at a Skoda garage has revealed the helpful hidden features that drivers always miss.
The motors whizz from Station Garage in Horsham, Sussex, took to TikTok to share the handy tips.
In the clip, he revealed some special “Skoda life hacks” and demonstrated some special features in the brand’s cars.
First of all, he explained that the cup holders have been specially designed to allow drivers to open bottles with one hand.
The holder grips the bottom of the bottle, letting you twist the lid off effortlessly.
This is a major help for motorists, especially in hot weather, as it allows you to stay hydrated without taking both hands off the wheel.
Doing so could even see you slapped with a £1,000 fine and three penalty points for not being in proper control of your vehicle, so the one-handed way is definitely best.
Although, it is advisable to use a straw when possible so you don’t have to tilt your head back to drink and take your eyes off the road.
Secondly, the expert revealed that there are four hooks fitted in the boot that can be used to hang bags from and maximise space.
These can be folded out for use and then pushed back up to fit almost seamlessly into the boot wall.
You can use it for anything from delicate items you don’t want rolling around to helping you fit extra shopping bags in the car.
In other clips, employees at the garage showed more cool features, including folding tables in the back of the seats and a small clear plastic arm on the driver’s side of the windscreen that can hold parking permits in place.
Social media commenters were amazed by the “simply clever” extras.
One wrote: “Skoda cleverness.”
Another added: “I’m a fan of all types of Skoda.”
It comes after a car salesman revealed the three words that should make you run a mile when buying a motor.
Meanwhile, a driver who bought the UK’s cheapest EV explained why it was a pain to own.
