What about the itemised invoice at the end of the day before you pay? I alway check mine.

As I mentioned above Ford allocate an exact amount of minutes for each part of the service. It's in your service book.

I think we are all knowledgable enough to have an idea what an oil filter, oil and other parts cost. If not ask before you pay. Explain the account to me.

Again the labour is the area I think you are more likely to be ripped. Ask the hourly rate charged you are entitle to know, and as above 2 hours labour must equal the rate charged.

I would be concerned that they did everthing.

As I mentioned the labour for a 15000 is 2 hours by the book $130+. The tightening of the inlet and outlet manifolds is 54 minutes and has to be atleast $65. This is the item most dealerst don't do, because they service the T the same as a normal XR6.

Did your invoice detail what was done?

Wow

I feel like I got ripped off at $346.

Nothing special done, so why was mine so much?

Umm - the service manager told me the price BEFORE they started on the car I.e. when I booked it in.

I will be a little more careful next time

The labour charge at my dealer is $94/hr. I imagine most dealers charge much the same.

And I bet the apprentice that actually did the work recieved $20/hr.

Sorry I forgot the dealer has overheads to pay for.

WOW, at $38 per hour I might put the car on the boat and bring it over for the next service.

The fleet company I go through has a special rate of $60-$70 per hour.

Another thought what is the conversion ratio into Australian Dollars.
