[Escapee]

Quite a few employees at my last place of work in Tewkesbury used the Peugeot dealer, because they had a Rapid fit centre. I took it in for an oil change and had problems because they said my link bushes front and rear were worn, and both CV boots were split. They said it would be "£6 00 thank you sir" I said no thanks as I had replaced the one CV boot about 3 weeks earlier. The front link bushes were worn and I picked a pair up for £18 each at the motor factor, they were considerably better made than the original french crap and took about 20 minutes a side to fit.

I heard lots of similar stories and recently heard one about a timing belt problem causing hundreds of pounds worth of damage, it had been fitted at the same garage about 10 months ago. One of the guys I worked with took his Fiat Multipla in there for a service and they got the wrong rear brake shoes, they reluctantly put the car back together for him to go home and it leaked all the fluid out on the motorway because they had not re-fitted a part correctly.

Its a lottery with garages, and main dealers can often be a very bad experience.
