any car geeks out there ie. mechanics fucking gutted today... car went in to peugeot garage with dodgy rear wheel. Get a phone call saying bearings and rear axel need replacing and its gunna cost £1300!!! Manager said he would take 15% off nice chap, so its £1100. Winner! NOT!!! Is it worth it? Can it be done cheaper?
hmm, places like quik fit/charlie browns/tyrespot dont usually do this work I dont think... I'd try and get a second opinion if I were you though, but if all that needs doing it aint gona be cheap!!
Ive found a website that sells used car parts. rear axel £285. just need someone to fit it now.... Gunna be hell of alot cheaper
Re: Re: any car geeks out there ie. mechanics I thought that but I doubt Peugeot are going to be cowboys like! Parts might be cheap but that will be a pretty big job like so you might not save that much. Also bear in mind that if it's second hand, it aint gona last as long. Also best to make sure to find out why it's second hand
Re: any car geeks out there ie. mechanics is it just the Stub axel? try some where like Andrew Page or www.eurocarparts.co.uk/
Peugeut wont be cowboys but they dont have the same options as other garages. All their parts will be new. The site i've found are genuine axels, new bearings. Tis about a 2 hour job to fit. As its only one wheel on the right that was dodgy im suspicious as to whether the whole axel needs replacing ot just the arm on one side. Still aint paying that much regardless!! tis only a fooking car man! lol
