adamc260 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Emailed my local dealership the other day to find out the cost of my first service for a 1.4 petrol fiesta (2011) Had a response.... £199.89!! Almost had a heart attack I was like that's well overpriced! Emailed them back asking if they could do anything better and they instantly came back with £135, breakdown cover included and they'll collect/redeliver the car for me on my day off Bit of a cheek though to think if I just didnt ask I'd be charged £65 more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tato Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 135 seems closer to the reality of the first service... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GJC Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 My local dealer (Gates - Harlow but the car came from elsewhere) did a fixed 3 service deal for £425 for my 1.6 Diesel Econetic. Not the cheapest but means it's paid for for the next 2 services, and I figure it averages to £140 or so a service which isn't too bad.

Tato Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 What do they actually do in the first service? Change filters, oil...basic stuff, nothing complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambooka Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Well ford went to town on mine cost me £220 for first service the checklist was 3 sheets of a4 probably to justify the price. It was done at 9000 cos the service light was annoying me and on the reminder for the next service it says it wants doing at 11500 miles I think they are taking the !Removed! a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymac66 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 My 2013 1.0 fiesta service due March, was quoted £141 at arnold clarke where i purchased it, a ford dealer closer to home quote £114, arnold clarke have now agreed to match the price... lesson learned dont take quote without shopping around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1981 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Do the services have to be done at authorised ford places to keep up the warranty on a new car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshFordFan Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Do the services have to be done at authorised ford places to keep up the warranty on a new car? No as long as the garage is vat registered and you use official ford parts and oils then you still maintain your warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1981 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Ah OK that's good thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootsy Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 My first service is £152, due to be done on the 10th march. Got a loan car for the day not sure if that makes any difference. What got me was if i have it done by a Ford main dealer i get another years breakdown cover free, bargan!, 1.5 Econetic diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philf1 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I just bought a service plan from my dealer, £13 a month for 3 years gets me 3 services, courtesy car, valet and another 3 years breakdown cover, and no inflation. Seems like a reasonable deal and no big expense in January for the next 3 years. Must just make sure I keep this car longer than the last one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
