Was just hoping to change the boost to around 10 PsiWhat are you thoughts?I am located on the southside of brisbane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The service manager (Brett Sweet) owns a modded turbo territory and is a good fella.They seem to do what they charge for on the invoice and don't break anything, what more can you ask for?

Had nothing but grief there. Have been using Metro Ford in the valley for a few years and other than the usual level of incompetence that goes with the territory they seem to be pretty good. More convenient if you work in the city as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CN RED Member 90 Member For: 18y 9m 9d Location: Brisbane Posted 07/11/07 06:29 AM Share Posted 07/11/07 06:29 AM I'd steer clear of Bryan Burt Ford at MtGravatt/Mansfield. Had 1 really good service there in April this year. Went back again in September to fix warranty items and replace the fascia around the gear knob and they ruined my hand brake and forgot to put all the screws back in the centre console when they pulled it out. Had me there for 5 hours!!! Apparently they have changed management, and the level of service has really slipped in my opinion.Might give southside ford a go for the next service.

All warranty claims accepted. Good bunch of guys, I am very happy dealing with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
