alexp999 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Depends on the service being done, different things are done at different intervals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pragmatix Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Depends on the dealer the big ones cost more than the small independent, major service £230-325 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends where you live too, is that at a dealer? My low price is at a family run Ford business the high price is at a big franchised Ford dealer, the family busness gives me a time slot the franchise want the car all day, both give the breakdown cover.

alexp999 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 £18 is worth it for the breakdown alone imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hostahousey Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Breakdown from what? do you mean whilst taking the car in or bringing it back? I have break down cover with my car insurance so why pay another£18 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you've already got breakdown then fair enough. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitten_traveller Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 My local Ford garage charges less money than the village independent for a service. The last one was around £160. Breakdown coverage included too. This is for a Focus though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
