Not like my 3 visits to the Ford Dealer I bought the Car from. But in saying that I did have some warranty work done During the week for a leeking Diff and they where great up at Jubilee Fors on Parramatta Road.I will Shut up now.

That's completely UNSAT. The least they could do is leave it in the boot, not STEAL it!!!Lets see - $740 for service + ~$150 for a BMC/K&N = $890 worth of work/theft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had my 45K service a month ago, less than $150, but I did supply the oil and a filter.Very happy about thatPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recon we are lucky, and make sure the different paces still go by the service book and dont skip stuff. because in the end the dearlerships are the guru's and quality comes at a price.
