Nightowl Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Sounds about right tbh sussex - not forgetting the extra tenner for the headlight bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Shark Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Seems ok. Then again, my last service was £470, so I may have a distorted perspective... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanium_s_spec Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 sounds ok was quoted £180 for first and £220 for major but don't forget you don't have to use a main dealer any more.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pikestones Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Ive been thinking of getting one of the service plans http://www.ford.co.uk/Buyingandprotectingy...AssistancePlans £430 for 3 services,plus 2 years extra AA cover doesnt seem too bad if the garages are quoting £190 for a first service, I will check with my local dealer for their prices,the last Fiesta I had was £125 for the basic service (inc oil and vat),going to £240 ish for the main service. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipz Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I have paid £300 for the 2 years service with the AA cover (even though im a member of RAC). But it looks like i have been done over because (unless im missing something) i still have to pay for oil changes etc Can someone let me know if i have been done over or if it was a good buy!?

TitaniumSteve Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 My first service was £125 via a non ford dealer just my local garage, they did use Ford parts also. This is all perfectly within the warranty so maybe do this for your next service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASHMAN Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Mine was £97.00. for first service at Rufus Carr, Clitheroe. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartM Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 My first service for my Mk6 was £99.00 from Rapid Fit, next door to the Ford dealer that quoted £160??! Local independent garage was only £5 cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bashful Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I was thinking of going to Rapid Fit next March. My first Ka service was £140 at the main dealers and when I phoned Rapid Fit for a quote on the second service they quoted £99. The thing that annoyed me about the first service was that the invoice said "price quoted to customer £140". It almost seemed like they could make up any price they wanted.
