Over the years i have used Lane Ford, Titan Ford, Centre Ford &
McInerny's for servicing / warranty repairs. I would rate them in
the above order after my service adviser from Titans,Steve Lord
became Service Manager at Lane Ford. I leave bugger all fuel in
my car when i put it in to the dealer & tell them not to test drive
it without me!

Also with an FPV it's cheaper to go & buy your 6litres of Castrol,
Mobil (or whatever your favourite oil is ) from Auto1,Supercheap,
Repco or Coventry's. Your Ford dealer will charge you $130+ for
oil worth $80 in one of the above auto shops.

In the end everybody has a horror story about dealer service just
make sure you state that they dont replace ANYTHING without your approval.

I also recommend that you tell them not to wash your car after the
service, this job usually gets handed to an apprentice!
