Afternoon All,
Just though I'd pop in and say hello. I have been reading this forum for a few weeks, but inly just registered. So please be nice!
I have just taken my 12 plate Galaxy for a service at the local Ford garage, and left my GF to deal with it while I was at work. Turns out its going cost me Ã,£800+, I'm looking forward to the bill breakdown!.
H
Eh?! On a first service?! ??? What are they doing, fitting 4 new premium tyres and a DPF as well?! Yikes!
Blimey that's lot! What engine /gearbox is in it? I have a list of all the service schedules by mileage and age...
bejesus thats 1 expensive fuse.

And they didn't include collection and delivery, all fully valeted and also assign you a personal service manager all in? ::)
Joking aside I hope its a mistake on their part.
at Ã,£800+ it bloody better be.
im wondering if theres a charge for putting it on diagnostics and anything else they can think of?
I'm not totally sure what the breakdown will be, but I needed a new wing mirror as someone decided that it would look better all smashed and hanging down the side of the car. Also needed two new tires, (something I had been meaning to look at for a few weeks but not had time).
I dont think that the garage are trying to rip me off, Its just things I could and should have done myself before hand but never had the chance. I think its a case of lesson learned!

Ahh, the wing mirror alone will be in the Ã,£275 range, tyres probably Ã,£100 each so at Ã,£475. Service around Ã,£125 so Ã,£600 then chuck some labour and VAT on that and its around the price you paid.
ah ha more info added.
Turns out needed brake fluid change rear O/s tyre too. Not too bad all in all, they did wash the car but didn't touch inside, until I complained. dropped it of this morning, for its Valet but due to the football and now too many beers,Ill collect it tomorrow
