I was gonna ask exactly the same question mines upto 65k when would a cam
belt be changed? the cars been sat around for about 12months so most things
have deteriated, brakes/tyres etc, would the cam belt deteriate as well?

If I was to go to a non Pug dealer would it affect the warranty? Still
runs to April next year.

cheers,

My local dealer Pug dealer (Dixons Scunthorpe) has an express fit
department. Thet charge about 40% less then the service reception next
door. Same workshop, same mechanics, genuine parts and a dealer stamp in
the service book.

It is only available if your car is over three years old though!!!

Seems they want to stop you going to the smaller garages once ythe
warranty expires.

My neighbour has just been quoted £39 for a service on her 106, not sure
of the mileage though.

yes it does affect the warranty, so stick to main dealer service until it
expires, then shop around and save some money.
i really believe that anyone who uses main dealer service after the warranty
has expired has too much money. (thats just my opinion, but based on the
facts that as a mechanic working for an independant garage, and also knowing
lots of guys who work for dealerships, i know that it doesnt mean you get a
better service, in fact only speaking for myself here, it works the other
way round)
the bonus schemes that main dealers employ for thier mechanics (not all main
dealers) works on a time/production system, meaning if a service should take
3 hours and the mechanic does it in 2, he earns points etc etc (something
like that) and vice versa if it takes him 4 hours he is penalised and has to
make it up on his next job.
we dont have a bonus scheme, so if a service takes me longer than the
scheduled time i win or lose nothing. but it does mean i have more time to
properly service someones car.
i truly believe you are paying for a main dealer stamp in your service
record and nothing more, i wouldnt work for a main dealer if they offered me
twice my salary,
i appologise to any dealer technicians in here,

The "P" services are only applicable after the car is three years old, I
think.  It's a way for Peugeot to haul in some servicing trade after the
three year warranty period has expired, and people can go to other
(cheaper) garages.

It just shows you how much of a rip-off services are for cars less than
three years old.  Before my last 206 was three years old, it's major
service cost me nearly 300 quid.  When the next equivalent service was
done, it cost just 150.
