Will-MK7 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I just rang up ford as my car is due it's first MOT and is due a full service. They quoted me £308 for both. Is it just me or is that well over priced? I do obviously want to keep a full ford service history.

alexp999 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Have you asked them what is included? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will-MK7 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Yeah, he said oil chance, oil filter, pollen filter, spark plugs air filter. That's what he said on the phone. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1981 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Have a look at the service schedule on etis to see what is done at each service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Just checked 2 local dealers and one was £269 and the other £330 so certainly worth shopping around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will-MK7 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Ok thank you. They quoted me 269 at my local dealership I just thought that was a lot. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbro Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Typical main dealer price. My wife's Suzuki Swift got an MOT and service yesterday. Main dealer price was £275. We booked it in to a garage Ive used for ten years and trust. Their price for exactly the same work was £163. Worth shopping around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will-MK7 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Yeah I can get it done cheaper, but I will be selling next year so I would prefer to have full ford service history! Yeah my mums 208 Gti was £300 just for an interim service! Stupid prices from dealers really. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Tween Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Trust me when I say a "Full Ford service History" is worth no more than a full service history. It will not mean anything when you sell the car. A service history is what it is. I own an RS and won't trust Ford with servicing it. My local trusted garage use all Ford parts and charge half the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentish Man Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I have mine coming up this month, you do get a years breakdown cover with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam1991 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 i went with ford because i could finance the service and mot in with the current price i pay. only added on a few quid which means when i come round to service and mot, i dont have to fork out for anything or find a lump sum. just had it over and its done :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftfocus69 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Likewise went with the service plan of £17.59 a month ,Service and MOT`s covered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will-MK7 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 I will probably just go with it to be honest. I don't have finance so I wasn't aware you could do that :/ oh well I will do it next time. Cheers everyone!

Swiftfocus69 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hi Will-MK7 i didn`t have finance ,its just Fords Smart service option where you agree to pay a set price every month ,then come your MOT / service you don`t have one big price to pay ,as a result you get a reduced price and a discount if any parts are needed .And as an added bonus Fords breakdown assisatnce thrown in.

Will-MK7 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Oh sweet, If had of known I may have done it but I didn't really intend to keep my current car long anyway. Thanks for the heads up mate! I may get it on my new ford. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
