I bought a peugeot 106 1.6i XR automatic I noticed some vibration going on and shaky going around islands ect. So i took the car to my local peugeot garage who identified the problem as a driveshaft and quoted me £462.00 for supply and fitting. Does this seem reasonable thanks clacky.

This seems like a reasonable price for a main dealer job to me. I recently replaced both driveshafts on my 1995 106 Diesel and got them for £20 each from the local scrapyard, along with a 3 month guarantee. It then cost me another £60 to have them fitted at my local garage. Total cost, £100. I was quoted over £350 at the main dealer, but the driveshaft will be different on your model. Brand new driveshafts are available for around £90 and the site below is a good guide for pricing.

RE:
been quoted £462.00 for new drive-shaft on a Peugeot 106, does this seem a fair price?

Having owned a 106, I know that although cheap to buy, and run you will need to shop around when it comes to servicing and repairs. A full service would have cost me over £175 for a 1.1 at my local dealer (Including courtesy car) and I shopped around and found a small garage who specialised in french cars, who quoted me £75 with courtesy car for full service including labour. I would just need to pay for any parts. I went back to my Peugeot Dealer and said why is this cheaper than you? They tried to say they knew what they were doing and this other garage didn't, but I said he has a good reputation and over 30 years experience with small french cars, and they knew who he was and did the service for £75, with courtesy car. But any work was not included, but they did get me 25% of parts prices (Split CV Gaiter, New brake pads, New Tyres) So service cost me £144. Which was good in my opinion. Moral is shop around.
I would personally weigh up the pro's and con's of getting it done... New parts on older cars tend to make other tings go wrong. Like a chain reaction in most cases. Is it worth selling the car and buying another one? This can sometimes be cost effective! Or buy a scrap driveshaft and take it to the garage with you, all you will have is labour charges then! Get in contact with suppliers of garages to see what price they charge for a driveshaft, and then compare that with brakers yards. Most brakers will give it you 75% cheaper if you haggle, some even get the parts from the car for you if you wave £30 under their noses.

Went on the Euro car parts site and had a quick look.Couldnt get exact details as you didnt say year of car,but you are looking at around £100-£170 plus vat for the driveshaft dependant upon your exact model details,so i would be inclined to buy a driveshaft and get a non franchised workshop to fit it...they tend to be cheaper and give just a good a service normally.Going to a dealership is no guarantee of having the job done properly,just ask any trading standards officer.Reckon you could save yourself about £150 or more doing it this way.Shop around on the internet and you may even get the driveshaft even cheaper.I only had a look on one site!!

your being robbed... you do realise pugeot are charging you over £85 an hour for labour..(ask them) oh, and thats plus VAT
drivehshafts which go, clunk on full lock. (the CV or UJ bearings wear and on full lock they try to seperate under the translational loading at the hub.
it sounds like a wheelbearing... which is around the fifty quid mark, or just go to another (not main dealer) garage. here in coventry, a driveshaft is 90 quid, and its around 50- 75 quid for fitting.
why the disparity? well, the secretary with the long legs aand the alluring smile... the shiny showroom.. five idiots who dont know their **** from their elbows in the stores dept... youre paying for all that... peugeot care..no they dont, they want your money...
shop around and support your independent garage, and for gods sake,learn to haggle for cash. (they all do)

God..................here we have here a Peugeot owner and even worse an automatic for a 106 and soz can't help here i hate Peugeot and the price seem far too much for a drive-shaft try for any site keyword "find car parts" or "find peugeot car parts" you will get this much cheaper and they do mail order to your door.

Buy the workshop manual,search web car parts and fit it yourself about 3 hours = around £250 saving or stop using dealer garages, they are all over priced !

It could be that you need to have the whole assemble replaced including the constant velocity joint, which is very expensive. if that is the case it is probably the going rate. if not that quot is expensive.
Check ther dtails with the garage and then ring around and get a second and third quote
