Even though I had stated that the parts where not required they changed them anyway to keep it in warranty as it was stated by peugeot to be changed, didn't charge me any extra.

As I have already posted on this topic before when I was quoted a price of £375 for my RCZ 200.
I have only done 6,000 miles in a just over a year and a half, and I was quoted the same price,

I told the dealer I did not expect the air filters and plugs would warrant changing at that kind of mileage, as usual I had all the warranty speech, but I stood firm and told them if the filters were dirty and the plugs were burnt out then I would be happy to have them replaced,
In the end they agreed it was common sense not to replace the filters and plugs at this stage, they did check them and reported they were like new !
So I came away with an oil change and a windscreen washer top up which I laughed about !

But it just goes to show, if you haven't got your wits about you, the dealer will think nothing of going by the book and replacing everything on a check list that states must be changed, regardless of how new or clean it looks.

I'm sure the mechanic, oh sorry technician as they are called ! has a good laugh when the change something which perhaps they feel doesn't need replacing, But I guess that's how the dealer makes his money.

So if you go on one of the service plans for say £13.99 per month, what does that include?

Hi all,

Quick update- just dropped car off this morning for service and showed them online price of £199 which they have agreed to do it for but claim they were going to do the "recommended service" which included changing spark plugs and air filters etc, which according to my service book didn't need changing till 20K and I'm under 7K miles at moment, so told them i only want the scheduled one that will keep my warranty up.

So gone from £375 to £179 after my £20 off voucher - unless they call me with other work they want to do later today but hopefully not lol.

Only thing they did say that was that if there was any problems in future they could say its because you didn't get the recommended service parts replaced? Which didn't really make sense to me if my warranty is in tact and my service book says i don't need those bits replacing yet anyway? Presume it was just a way to try scare you and justify paying the extra.


So is an update available? Any problems? Any praises?
