Hi everyone, I’m Johnny. Just wonder where should I get my tuned FG XR6 Turbo ( ~ 300 rwkws) serviced? At a local Ford dealer or at a well-known tuning shop? I purchased the car a few months ago from a local private owner (its first owner) with 95000 kms on the odo. All modifications and tuning had been done by the previous owner when he first bought the car. He had it done at a wellknown independent local Ford tuning workshop and he kept servicing the car at this workshop every 5000 kms for more than 7 years. Ok now because I live a bit far away from that workshop, should I service my car at the local Ford dealer (very close to my house) or I have to bring the car back to where it was tuned? I dont mind about the cost of service. I like the way how the car is running right now, smooth, quiet and very fast and I want to keep it that way at all time. Any advice? Cheers.

Just thought I'd vent about some service I recieved at Titan Ford Brookvale today. Went in to test drive a silver 50th anniversary xr6 turbo with 44k km for $31990. After being left standing in the lobby for 15 minutes as he got the key I took it for a test with the dealer. Shortly into the test drive a sensor fault appeared on the screen for the reverse sensors. As well as this it had a bit of driveline clunk from the fiff and seemed to flair at low revs in 3rd. Upon getting back they wanted to know my offer. I said that prior to negotiation I wanted to make sure the issues would be fixed. This was met with me being told that I needed to pay my own mechanic to sign off then they would fix it under warranty after the sale. I replied that I wasnt going to talk prices until I knew the car would be fixed. Upon this I was accused of making things up and why should they trust me. I went to leave and the manager interrupted, asking what the issue was. I repeated that I wanted to confirm they would fix the faults prior to sale. Upon this I was told they shouldnt have bothered to let me test drive, it was clearly out of my budget and I didnt know what I was talking about. I told him it most definitely wasnt and its his attitude that has lost the sale. I love the blue oval but I cant believe how bad this service was. For them to insult me is ridiculous. Ford seriously needs to sort problem dealers like this one out. STEER CLEAR OF TITAN FORD.
