Peugeot Boxer service

NHi All,
Does anyone know what would be fair price to pay a Peugeot dealership to carry out 1 st service on a Peugeot boxer van first registered Sept 2017 with a mileage of 3800.

The variable tends to be the labour rate involved. The south of England labour rates are highest, so the service will cost a bit more.

We have just paid £300 for 2nd service and hab check. First service and hab we also paid £300. That was done by the motorhome dealer not Peugeot.

Does this mean that the 1st service is not required until after 2 years ?

They're vans, designed to do massive mileages in a short life. When made into motorhomes they have the exact opposite . Low mileages over long lives. Your manual will tell you when a service is due but a delivery van will often qualify for two or three services in 12 months, whilst a motorhome  won't do that sort of mileage in 20 years.

Mine was £361 just for the Peugeot side of things, the habitation was done separately.

A few other costs mentioned in this earlier thread.....

That’s correct, 2 years or mileage limited, whichever comes first. I can’t remember what the mileage is, but it’s more than a motorhome would normally reach.

I had an oil and filter change done on mine at 1 year, but that’s outside of Peugeot’s service regime.

Mine was £380 just a few days ago.

These prices are ex vat,

The charge for washer top up must be a con that's laid on everyone. 
On my last service I also (jokingly I thought) informed the service department that I'd topped up the washer bottle and there was no need to check it.
Like you I was taken aback to have an itemised charge of almost £4 on my bill for washer top up.. 
They've lost my custom through that now, I'll be taking my annual several hundred pounds of business elsewhere.
Al.

My first service is due in Feb 2020, I shall be sure to remember this washer jet fee/con!

  Ha ha , been there Al . I did the same and when asked how they ( Skoda)  managed to top up the washer bottle as I had filled it to the top , I was told the mechanic operated the washers until there was enough space to put their sachet in !!  Seriously!     Another con is the 'pollen filter'  While waiting for our Kia to be serviced I counted over  10 calls from the receptionist advising customers of pollen filters requiring replacement as it is not part of the service. When I was told the same I said the filter had only been in place for around 2000 miles, in rural ie  not in polluted  city centre driving.  A filthy filter was produced as proof by the mechanic.... Next month the service is due again and this time I will replace the filter before taking the car .   If I am told it needs replacement there will be trouble!!  

Pollen filters filter minute stuff like pollen, no less. So they can get just as 'dirty' in the countryside as athey can in a town.
, maybe even worse cos there can be lots of pollen in the countryside and not so much in town. Now if they were pollution filters then the town would be potentially worse.

I once had a pollen filter that got clogged on an almost brand new Mondeo ad the car msted up ibadmy nside on a damp summer's day.

Dealers usually tell you they need to regas the AC.
They forgot to try that one.

I like my van clean and polished and would never expect anyone to work on it if it was filthy, so the first time it went in to Peugeot, I made sure it was sparkling. When they finished the work and handed me the keys, the girl on the service desk proudly announced that they’d also given it a complimentary wash. 

When I got out to my van, it had indeed been washed and was still dripping, but by the time I got home it had dried out and my glistening paintwork was covered in white streaks 

I leave a “DO NOT WASH” note on the dash now, as well as instructing them not to wash it, especially as I’ve only ever seen the wash bay labourer use a jet wash.

The dealer price for an aircon regas is tremendous. If you look out for offers from the likes of ATS you can easily halve the charge.

From the look of the example filter shown to me as proof that it needed replacing it must have been pollen from a COAL tree...ie jet black! 

  Kingham, ditto !  I keep  my van spotless and it always goes for mot in that condition after exactly the same complimentary dust down with their jetwash and strong traffic film remover my van was also covered in streaks. I now make them note on the job card DO NOT WASH.
