DaveT70 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Just go to a dealer and get the parts, then keep the invoice, the FINIS codes will be on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizmo Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 My first service is due soon and I will use a Ford dealership. The car is under warranty so I want to play safe. There may be some software updates and while I have nothing against independent garages I don't think they can update software modules.

DaveT70 Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Ford don't update software unless you complain of a problem with a function that software update would fix. They don't even plug in and read if there are any DTCs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizmo Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Correct, Ford dealers are not keen to do diagnostic checks and some charge extra to do so. However if a module needed an update due to a safety concern they are obliged to sort it. I've always found Ford CRC to be very helpful in these instances.

wilto Posted Wednesday at 07:47 AM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 07:47 AM Ford's want £278 for a first service 😲 I'd rather buy the parts myself and save myself £150 in doing so. As long as they are genuine Ford parts which they are and I use a VAT registered garage, then my one years remaining warrant remains intact. oil £33. Filter £9.30. Cabin filter £19.60. oil drain plug £3.68. £55 ish for the parts so WTF are Ford charging £223 for, as long as I've got an hole in my a**e I'm not paying that.

TomsFocus Posted Wednesday at 08:50 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:50 AM Labour costs are higher for main dealerships as they do genuinely have higher overheads to cover. Large premises, desirable locations, manufacturer specific tech training, comfortable & well presented customer waiting area etc. This service also includes removing all 4 wheels to check the condition of the brakes. Which doesn't sound like much, but probably adds about half an hour on top of the basic service. Most Ford dealers also include a year of breakdown cover, which is classed as 'free' but nothing is ever free, so that's probably around £40 or so. They also have to cover warranty repairs for 3 years...that's not 'free' either, it comes out of other customers payments... Servicing becomes a bit cheaper once out of warranty, despite the same parts and processes being used. (Not to mention, in Fords case, they're also having to recoup all the costs spent on goodwill gestures replacing blown 1.0 EcoBoost engines. 🤭 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
