Default Re: Outstanding service!!

Had a very pleasant experience today with the 30,000km service on my FG XR50 at Sunbury Ford. Amongst the usual things done, the handbrake was tightened (which I use all the time being a manual) , tyres blackened (must admit I did drive on a dusty dirt road yesterday), car cleaned, couldnt find anything amiss when I got home, the cost was $162 plus the oil which I supplied. Car feels much better for it, plus Dave the service consultant there is a pleasant guy to talk to about things.

A lot different experience compared to my wifes VW Polo which was serviced late last year at a VW dealership, the work done at that service was about the same as what was done today on the FG, but with oil, the cost was $500. I feel ripped off each time that car is serviced, they even told me the wipers needed replacing for $95, which I actually replaced myself about 6 months ago for around $70. They also wanted to replace the brake fluid which was replaced 12 months ago at that place. Dont they have computer records?

Far happier with Ford servicing compared to VW.
