Hi all, my 08 tdci is up for the 15k service.. well its actually only really done 12k but I want to get it serviced earlier and plus the one year since the 3k service is almost up anyway..
Just wondering whether I should take it to my dealer or go else where like ultratune.. Im after others recommendations, especially when servicing a TDCi.. Ive looked at the comparisons between dealer and ultra tune in a pdf they have on their website and it lists the Focus CL as actually more expensive then going to dealer. Im in Melbourne, so if anyone knows a good reputable car service company in this city please let me know.. thanks Loris |

when i rang ultra tune to service my tdci they said they wouldnt do it because the car was too new and didnt know what to do lol.
i also rang them a few weeks back to get a qoute on my wifes 02 mazda 6 for its 120k service.....get ready for it.....mazda qouted me $540 dollars for the service.....and ultra tune......$579 dollars! what a rip!!! mazda was cheaper!! make sure you ring around before you get it serviced. ive only taken mine to coffee ford...not a bad price, but quality and customer service there = fail. never going back there. |

My TDCi only gets serviced at my Ford dealer. Not due to fear of anyone else, or the cost (lets face it, $239 for a standard server, which is all except for the 60k's services is a little expensive) but the customer service to top notch. As I work from home the day my car gets serviced, the guys will actually drop me off home and pick me up at no charge....
I suppose the fact I am there every 3-4 months helps...lol  Shop around the dealers, and double check the warranty I don't think ford are as about the service stamping at a dealer than toyota are!!! |

Personally I'd stick with Ford, chances are if you take it somewhere else they won't know what to do with it.

My 15000 KM service was $285, and just had my 30000 done at a different dealer $235. Identical oil and parts ie filter etc.

Yeah, paid $290 for 15K service and got a free 30K due to major incompetence at 15K service. They have changed hands and seem to know what their on about. Nice for a change.
Still seems too much for an 1 1/4 hour service.... Alex |
