1989jeffrey1989 Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 I've started to learn you have to be blunt with them sometimes and not to be taken for a mug! Had a feeling they'd try it tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1989jeffrey1989 Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 oil change, anti freeze, Brake fluid top up etc. tyres and brakes have plenty of life in them also a new air filter. Im sure ford will find discover something (: lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahtar Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 IMHO the first service is a total rip off anyway you look at it. 100pounds+ to change oils and check fluid levels? You can definitely do that yourself, only thing is that you need the warranty... btw, i did my 3rd service about a month ago and it was the first time I changed my air filter. The first one was relatively clean up to now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989jeffrey1989 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 I did think about doing it myself, Just thought the car would be worth more with a ford service history when i come to sell it. (Hopefully) use that as a selling ploy, i'd rather buy a used car with a full service history myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmaldon Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Just booked mine in for its 2nd service. It always feels tighter when I get it back from my local Lookers Ford. Sometimes I get a free valet as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989jeffrey1989 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Mine feels tighter too and has been valeted (: definately worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePaine Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thats a bargain, trouble is now most dealers, mine included are using a centralised booking base, so all calls go there instead of to the dealer you will actually visit, and sometimes not all the information is forwarded on. Let me know when it needs the next one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
