Hey guys. Just dropped my car off at (fraud) for it's 3rd Service...
They quoted £229.95 but I don't mind if that's high because it's paid for by my company but I know there's 100 posts about 3rd services but feel free to drop me a comment for what I must watch out for because everyone keeps saying it's your 'MAJOR ONE' AHHHH LOL

x

oh and they've just called me to say it's done so that's a bit worrying how quick it was...?

Thats not a bad price for a "major" service form Ford tbh. Back in the day I was quoted over £300. Well apart form the usual fluids & filter changes they change the spark plugs and visually check a lot lot more on the car going by the service schedule.

Whether this actually warrants such a high price is another thing lol

Oh good, maybe a spark plug change might help my failure to start the engine now and again

Oh well I hope it has a slightly better feel when I drive it away like some grease monkey has tweaked it a little and cleaned it up...

DONE. Got the car back. Very nice of them to fix the screw hole that I broke trying to find where the pollen filter was!

I swear they went out for a bez in it though... 2 miles added to it but who cares it has that 'feel' that it's been checked over...

lol caught them before the 'famous valet' got hold of it and I said no worries it got valeted the day before lol
NO SWIRLS!

I will ask when mine goes in for its 3rd this year, to be safe .
Mind, I always ensure my car is mint before it goes into any garage and that's enough to scare them off from touching or damaging it

The service sheet specifies that the vehicle is roadtested, any main dealer will roadtest a car after it's had a service

No problem dude!
I got worried too because of my mods. I wish someone told me! LOL

On the plus side they still did warranty work on my car e.g. back when my power fold mirrors broke even though it was modded. But obviously if your 'mod' broke something that was under warranty you'd have to pay for it so that's fair do's...
