markxr6t Member 476 Member For: 20y 2m 23d Location: Perth WA Posted 01/11/05 03:26 AM Share Posted 01/11/05 03:26 AM Well its now 45000km service time and this time I got quotes and I'll provide my own oil. Perth members may be interested in the following quotes:Range Ford - $170 - $200, $26.95 for a loan carMidway Ford - $200 with free loan carCentre Ford - $150 dunno about loan car.And wait for it......McInerney Ford - "Oh its a major service so about $400".It seems like last time wasn't a unique experience.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definately be boycotting them. It's amazing how many dodgy dealers there are. I've had the experience of getting some cosmetic damage fixed and it coming back worse...... twice!! I'm in SA so a different dealer. No idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjm Member 24 Member For: 20y 6m 28d Posted 14/12/05 01:16 AM Share Posted 14/12/05 01:16 AM The 30K service was done on my T last week and it was reflashed. Must say that my car feels SO much better. It's like it's been given a new lease of life over 3000 revs. I was very surprised as I had read lots of reflash stories and wasn't sure how my car would go ... but all is well. Don't know if any help to you but the service dept guy told me a new reflash program is coming soon for auto transmissions which take a long time to engage reverse. Oh, and the handbrake was adjusted, and you probably already know you have to pay extra for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
