They are cheap enough aswell Good idea, I am southeast (Eastbourne) and and considering where to take my ST line 125 for first service (it's 66 plate, out of warranty before I bought it on May this year but has Ford dealership stamps throughout service book) However it's vitally important I find garages I can trust with my first nice car, if you know what I mean! Long as they treat my ecoboost well I'm not fussy if they are Ford or not. Then there's wheel balancing and alignment, light upgrades, remap gear (low profile, not loud exhaust just bit more performance) - I may even take advantage of InSPRAYtion if I choose to not to attempt a repair on the alloy I kerbed myself. I'll watch this thread with interest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So will I, it seems to get someone posting to it about every 2 years on average. Even @jeebowhite who started this back in 2014 hasn't checked in since December 2020.

Even @jeebowhite who started this back in 2014 hasn't checked in since December 2020. Lol! Well how about I make a start - currently considering for full service: East Sussex Eastbourne Gqrage - car repair & maintenance Visick Cars Ltd 24 Lottbridge Drove, Eastbourne BN23 6NS 01323 722244 ...and I'll tell you why they are worth a shout. Colleagues also have Fords take them here for reasonably priced services/repair jobs, and (reportedly) decent customer service. They are across the road from Ford B*rchwood who's sales team have IMO terrible customer service (the service guys are ok) - so bad I drive to Chelmsford and bought my car there instead. I have said Ford service guys are ok, or they were when I bought Ford coolant, but unfortunately they don't set the prices, and £350+ I was quoted for full service seems a little steep. If I go to Visicks in next couple of months I will update with real-life experience. Hopefully that will get the ball rolling hey unofix 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
