Peugeot Specialist around Colombo

[Luck]

Hello Dear Friends..

In these days well known Peugeot mechanics around Colombo tend to offer their service by using training boys actually without any inspection from the expert. So I would like to know are there any specialist in Peugeot around Colombo apart from Kimbulawala and Malabe?

Thanks very much. you helped me a lot in past.

Apart from Malabe means you have tried Throve already?

I have seen a Peugeot only garage in Kotte, Epitamulla Road.. but haven't got their services nor do I own a Peugeot so I can't recommend their work.. there are a lot of Peugeot models that have come for repairs up until the likes of the 406s and 408s bearing English numbers there.. Not sure if its mentioned in other threads or not but just added so others using Peugeot may comment regarding this

There are 2 places I know do repairs on Peugeots. One is Lal at Koswatta, Battaramulla. Other one is Nawaratna at Suwaripola, Piliyandala. He is bit of old school guy. I had done repairs on my 406 about 3 years ago by both of them. Both places prices were reasonable and wont rip you of like Malabe place as I was experienced.

Is the guy in Pelawatta still in business? I'm not sure if he's a rip off though. I've had my share of bad experiences with the guy in Malabe. Used to go to him when I briefly had a Peugeot. Just kept replacing bits but never solved the actual problem.

Dears,

      I know 3 persons. All are seems OK with me. But their workmanship prices are high comparing with Jap mechanics.

One is Aruna@Throve - 0777677677

Ajith - Pelawatte - I forgot his number.

Bandara - 0729231872

Just try with them. But in my personal opionion, Aruna seems more knowledgeable and also you can discuss with him and do things with your flexible schedule.

Thanks.

Ohh the Malabe place. Run by father and son. Haha, they're credited with ruining the Peugeot name in Lanka. 

At one point, the only people who could do pugs properly in Lanka were Carmart, Aruna (throve) and the Malabe bugger. So you could see how this ended up for pugs today. I've talked with the son, does talk nicely at first and tries to lure you into the garage somehow. 

Good news is there are plenty, and I mean plenty of pug specialists in Lanka now. Heck it even turns out there are two near my place, in nuwara. The owners club in fb is very helpful and it's a sin to not talk to those guys (there's the other club called "Peugeot club of sl" which is run by the Malabe guy himself) 

@Crosswind BTW, I got the parcel through the customs at kandy mail office. They were taking a piss, but after negotiations I had to fork out a green bill. Still went better than expected. Thanks again!

This sounds like local 'Agents' 😛 ... for some Japanese brands.
