INASNT Member 361 Member For: 18y 5m 19d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 14/07/09 11:54 PM Share Posted 14/07/09 11:54 PM Just rang Coffey ford in Dande a call about 15k service for my G6E-T and their initial price was $390. I was like WTF and asked the woman on the phone to explain what they were doing for this high cost.She said its their standard service cost for the car, she then went on to say that they can remove the fuel system and brake system clean and it would be $330. I dont think they will do fark all in the fuel or brake system clean so told them to remove it. Would prob got a better deal if I took it to the dealer I bought it from but its 2 far away from work.

I take my Ford to Gentech in Canberra, get exc service and comprehensive check over for a lot less than the Ford service cost.Took my new Nissan X Trail back to Nissan for 30k (oil change), $350. Last time that will happen. Called Unltratune and it would have been $179 using Nissan parts and same oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that using 95RON unleaded petrol would start to block the injectors in a few years time. I told him I use 98 all the time anyway. You can buy the same fuel treatment they use for around $5.
