Safety Check

Hi,

My 206 is going in for a repair soon (under warrenty), when I booked
it in at a Peugeot dealer they asked me whether I would like a free
safety check, I said that as long as it didnt delay the repair then it
didn't matter.

My question is, how honest are they with this check? is it a way of
extracting more money from me (presumably all items would be
considered 'wear and tear'). Has anyone else any good / or bad things
to say about these checks.

Excuse my paranoia, but when it was offered to me, I couldn't help
thinking that you do not get anything for free!

Thanks

David

 

All Peugeot 206 has some error in braking system. it has been recalled
from next monday.

 

Go read the forum at this site www.peugeot.206.btinternet.co.uk it tells of
how if you have a service the dealers are not allowed to warn you of
warranty work that will be needed unless it is safety critical, so rather
than repair a fault free the will hopefully wait till it fails completely
out of warranty. how dodgy is that.
I would trust what these guys say as they announced this recall thing over a
week ago.

 

Hi,
Regarding any activity of car dealers that could involve some payment, you
must be cautious as if you would be stepping into a snakes nest! As a
consequence it is advisable to ask that they perform a check and give you
before "reparing" anything some kind or repair list for your approval.
Peugeot is a very profitable compagny ... this means that they first always
look for pouring money from their customers ...
Good luck!

 

A free safety check is just that. Free. You don't have to take the
advice of the garage about anything they say is wrong.
