Main dealer or Independent??

[stagger321]

So my 'R' will coming to the fateful 3yr/MOT point Feb next year.

At this point haven't had a quote for the servicing/MOT/bit'n'bobs from the main dealer, but I am toying with whether to go independent.

I have a local Pug garage I have always used, and while not disappointed with them I suspect their costs will not be the cheapest.
I can probably find a Pug specialists.
Or I can go to a local totally independent, and there are a few local that are in the "Trust my Garage" and "The Good Garage Scheme".

What are peeps opinions here.

Mine has gone to a independent garage for the last two services saved me a fortune eg spark plugs are still the original ones but mine has only done 8 thousand from new just a oil filter and oil change both times cheap as chips :thumbup:

Even if you take out a warranty the main thing you have to do is use a garage that is VAT registered.
Independent garages are cheaper usually than main dealerships.
Find a independent Peugeot specialist garage would be a best of both worlds.

Stuff the main dealer and stick with independent! Wouldn't even bother with warranty, the dealer won't stand by it anyways!
