Thought this may provide a handy reference point so a comparison can be drawn with standard services at standard intervals by Ford Service Departments.

15k service - $246.20 (incl. GST)

Was all "standard" service except a warranty fix on the cooling system (leak at the heater pipe o'ring)

I found this a tad high - anyone else able to comment on that price ? Or is it about right ?

Cheers,

Fleet prices, Sydney (Nth Beaches Dealer):

My 15k service was about $184 or so.. Really suprised me

that does sound very high compared to others and mine at $185 inc rotation, in melbourne. Would be worth checking if they are including the torque tightening check on the inlet and exhaust manifold bolts, as recommended in the owners handbook for the T - my experience is that the dealers don't seem to have any knowledge of this.

Complain to your dealer, all of you that are paying oner $200. For Farks sake, they are only changing the oil and the filter, and checking over the car for a few other fliud levels and the like.

I go to Klosters in Cardiff, and the guys use the top Shell oil, and do a great job, report on pad use and do a wheel rotate for $160. That was for my 15 and 30k services. that's for an individual, not fleet or other rubbish. I did get quoted up to $200 at the other places on the Central Coast, so I went north.

Don't put up with rubbish service like that. BTW, Klosters have an ACE reputation with any company or person that I have asked.

My beast goes in for it's 15k service on Wednesday. Will be interesting to see what I get charged.....

15K service was 216 inc GST.

Note that this is ORIX Fleet pricing...
