Just wondered whether anyone on here who has had there first service has used any other garage apart from  to service it?? Interested in the prices you paid as well. I've been quoted £159. What oil does the car use as I've just checked it and its right on the botton gauge  , need to top it up ASAP.

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.

i take it the first service is an interim service(12500mls or 12mths old),
and them the major service is when the car is 2 yrs old???.
obviously the interim service will be cheaper than the major one.

Well I always have mine services every year without fail. I took mine to a local garage, as he is sort of a friend, and it was £130. Just as long as Ford parts are used the warranty is still valid. I personally wouldn't take it to Ford as they usually rip you off and probably don't do what they say......

ask to take a look at the job sheet 4 your car,and what parts,where used.
i tend to ask 4 job sheet and cross check.however i know its easy 4 them to
say we checked this and checked that,you can only take their word 4 it.

Different dealerships different labour rates....
But the £129 service sounds like a Ford value service (vehicles over 3 years old) not a Ford scheduled service ( to validate warranty).

Wicked! I gots to keep going there then! (mine cost considerably less). My service has kept the warranty (that I have left) perfectly validated too, not to mention the all important paint & bodywork stamp!

yere £195 for a small service rip off if you ask me  what do they do.... change the oil,oil filter,check other fluids,check round car ect, polar ford bradford has a rapid fit centre for servicing,whats the differance between getting your car serviced at rapid fit or at the main dealer service centre more than likely price.  iceman.
