Dans XR6 Turbo Member 204 Member For: 18y 5m 8d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 21/12/06 08:42 AM Share Posted 21/12/06 08:42 AM That is BullS##T mate. Talk to a bunch of people and find out what mechanic they use. The best way to find a good mechanic is word of mouth. As long as he is a legit licensed mechanic and better still registered with MTA then you can get him to do your services without effecting the warranty. I take mine to my local mechanic for the last 10 years. He stamps the service log book and that's that. Whenever there has been a major issue that is covered under warranty that my mechanic finds, I call ford, tell them the problem and they book it in under warranty.I only use Ford for the warranty. I do everything else through my mechanic and save at least 70% of Fords price + I like the idea he has a T also with phase III so he knows the car inside out.
