	hi karen,we got our first service free from peugeot but our second was £296 which i thought was quite dear..but if you want to sell it later it will have full service history with the dealer and dnt know with your car but if we get it mended at a different garage other then a peugeot dealer garage it effects our warrenty.it is scandalous how they can get away with it..but the countrys going to pot lol so........
