Hi everyone.

My beloved CC (2001 1.6) is due for a 10,000 mile service and MOT soon. I was thinking of getting them done at the same time. Is there a local dealer in the Folkestone / Canterbury / Ashford / Dover area that anyone would either recommend or warn me against? (I didn't buy the car locally). Or have any East Kent based CC-ers ever had their cars serviced in France - another possibility? My nearest Peugeot main dealer is KAP Peugeot in Folkestone and I have had variable reports about them. The car seems to be running fine, done about 40k miles and no obvious problems, touch wood!

Any advice appreciated!

Thanks

Rob

Hello

When I lived in Kent I went to both Canterbury Motor Co and Folkestone's KAP.
I went to Canterbury for any paintwork ie painting of arches etc on a plus side it was useful for going shopping when bits were being done etc saves money parking etc! but generally thought Canterbury is dearer servicing wise.

I personally like KAP for servicing as you can view your car as its being done, the rates are reasonable and I found them generally pleasant and have to say were good at their job. One comment I will make which I found frustrating was they did the service and then told you what else needed doing when you went to collect so you had to re-book it in. What happened to the days when they rang you asking if you wanted it done?

Thanks Emma that's really helpful.

I have two friends who have used KAP and one was very satisfied and the other not.
