For those that did'nt know, i dropped my car off for a service at Peugeot

When i dropped it off it had maybe 1 or 2 tiny stone chips

Now it has well over 50

They say it was nothing to do with them, and im now stuck paying for it myself







Im well pissed off, sorry the pics aint great, the flash spoilt the pics

Sorry to hear that mate, Is there any rally roads close to the dealer?

I know the "technicians" in the main dealer to the rapido fit I wokr in take most cars down a rally stage or up and down the A303 when anything is done. Like was said above why do they need to take it out for a service.............

I think alot of it is down to the paint finish.
I've had a few pugs and they all fade and chip like you wouldnt believe.

The shit box 106 I've got at the moment belonged to a mate who works evenings as a nightclub bouncer, its not uncommon for pissed Cambridge students (fuckwits) to "carwalk" where the twats litterally walk over cars - up the bonnet and over the roof!
The 106 looks like a piece of tinfoil that has been scrunched up and flattened out.
They did it to his brand new 05 plate Clio and never left a mark only dirty footprints.
(He'll still kill them if he finds them )

Also main dealer staff dont give a flying fuck about customers cars. I've seen it so many times.

Well its just coming up 3 years old, the whole of the front only has about 3 stonechips in total (other then the ones in the pics), and it was fine before i dropped it off at Peugeot , a few days later and i get it back like this

How much do you reckon i'll be looking at to have the front left of the bumper resprayed????? Just a rough ball mark figure???

Just thinking incase the bumper had been painted b4 you owned it due to stone chips and they jet washed it close up and eneded up marking it up like that due to the pressure...Just a guess as i know it can happen.

Peugeot main dealers are the pits


I shudder to think what I paid out to main dealers over the year I owned a 205, SO much work that I now know wasn't needed
