Just phoned up to book the 2nd service on the ST.

Final cost is (and I double checked with them) ... £250

£40 for brake fluid change (which the girl said they recomend for every 2nd service), £10 for paint and body check, and £200 for the service itself. the girl did say the prices have just changed, but I have no idea how much by :S

For some reason I agreed to it, but luckily I have a week to shop around.

Firstly ... isn't the paint and body work check included in the service cost ?

The 'shopping' around means I have a choice of 3 Ford dealerships to choose from (being on the Isle of Wight means if I want to go to a mainland dealer, that puts a £40ish ferry ticket on straight away before I do anything).
The garage that I've booked it into is about 5min walk from my work. The next garage I'd use has a Tesco about 10mins away from it, but other than that its a long walk into the nearest town. The last garage is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by farms mainly.

I didn't buy my ST from this dealer as they wouldn't budge the price (price being that off of the Ford website) at all when I was looking to buy, so I went to Hendy and got a bargain!

And lastly (for now hehe) ... me Mum got a service offer price through the post (she's never had a service from this dealership, or owned a Ford), and the offer price was £99. I'm going to have a read of the paperwork and see if I can get it with that offer.

Having mine done today and it's going to cost £169.

That said, apparently I need to get a part for it, though they haven't told me what yet, or if I have to pay for it! Guess I'll find out later!

I think im right in saying that the paint stamp is included in the first service only?!

That price sounds quite cheap to me, I spent £180 in the end for my first one..

Sounds about right that they charge you £10-20 to be honest. You have a three year warranty but have to pay for them to check it to be covered...

£250 sounds a bit steep to me, but I have never priced one yet as my car is Sept 08. I got my first service for £99 including paint check. Hope I get as good a deal for second, although it'll be nowhere near £99 unfortunately.

It seems to vary between dealerships - most seem to charge, mine never has.....

Nice one. Mines gonna be cheaper now aswell because i said they dont need to look at a couple things like airfilter, due to the fact its only just been changed.

My third year service recently was about that.

[MartialArtsJ]

Read in another topic that the service pricing hasn't changed in the last 3 years, and Ford has only just picked up on it. Apparently the service cost should be about £257.
Still haven't checked to see if the offer applies to the ST yet ... how rubbish am I lol

[MartialArtsJ]

Just called Ford, and they'll do the service for £99 :D not including the paint/body check and brake fluid change ... still better than the £250 originally quoted.

[RLC18]

what ford garage is that?

[westie84]

My second service including brake fluid change came in at £185. I just went back in and told them they had forgotten to stamp my paint and body so they did it then. I never ask for the inspection. Didnt know you had to. Oh well Owt for nowt!
