Just had a call to say my car is ready and it cost $147.60 for 30,000km service. Not sure what they did (possibly nothing...) but I was expecting more than this, closer to $300.

Hi all,

Just had my T's 30000km service at a Ford Dealer in Morley WA + the usual warranty list of scraping rear brakes, clunking and whining diff, steering shudder and cracking sound from dash.

Nearly choked when I got the bill for $446.75!

Itemised as follows - GST added at end:

30k service labour = 161.80

Adjust dragging handbrake labour = 80.90 (shouldn't this be warranty?)

Oil Filter = $10.33

"2 units" of Castrol Magnatec = 89.12

Consumables and Environmental Compliance = $14.00

Coolant top up = $12.50

Pyroil Additives = $41.50

Add GST of $40.61 for a total of $446.75.

I complained about the additives and said the owners manual says not to use them, I wasn't asked about them and I don't want them. They quickly refunded the $41.50 (maybe they know they're a rip off?)

I asked what 1 unit of Oil was - they couldn't tell me (oh - we get it in drums), but $100 inc GST for 7 litres of Magnatec? WTF???

I'm going to let them know my feelings and was wondering what others have paid for a 30000km service. I feel it should have been about half of what I paid. The workshop manual says its only a "Service A" - 1 hr 12 mins + 50 odd minutes to tighten manifolds plus oil and filter.

Should the brake (shh, shhh) adjustment have been covered under warranty?

Would like to know your experiences and what you paid. Very tempted to find a good workshop and only go to dealer for warranty work....

Thanks

Mark

P.S. New diff on order, new RH axle and 1 tyre is cracking.

Sounds like gouging to me, what a rip off!

l ALWAYS ask for a quote before dropping my car off, you may be suprised at the variations for a standard schedule service.
