Service plans?

Our Peugeot is a diesel, so the next service is about 12,500 miles away. It has just been serviced, and we are told we shall need one new tyre, and new brake pads when we return from France in mid October.

We expect to have done about 3,000 miles by then.

Our experiences with main dealers have not always been happy, and we hope to avoid vast bills in the future. What is your opinion of the Peugeot Service Plan?

I don't recommend any service plans unless they provide for at least one annual service, whatever the mileage.
