If you do get it serviced at non ford garage they need to carry out the service to ford schedules (see service guide), be VAT registered and use parts to Fords standard.


I've seen service prices for Ford dealerships from £150 to £185

non Ford from £79 - £120

But for the Ford service history i'd rather pay the extra, and any warranty issues they 'should' be able to fix while its in unlike your back street garage.
