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

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.
