f*ck THAT!!

alot of that crap can be done by you mate..

95$ to adjust a handbrake??? it took me 10 mins all up, and that includes getting the car on and off the ramps..

that is the rudest thing I have ever seen mate. I changed my pads myself and it took an hour.. they werent that expensive either.

advice? never go there again EVER..

id take it to somewhere like Midas and get a price. they will still give you a nation wide warranty and id expect it to cost close to half the price that ford quoted you for the same job.

[XR06T]

$270 for the service is about right I spose, but the prices on that other stuff is outta this world

[apac77]

Hi guys,

Thanks a heaps for the replies so far... I'll definitely give midas a go, what about Ultra Tune? My bro took his turbo calis to them once, and the cracked the turbo manifold cuz the freaks thrashed it....

that's more than 6hrs labour for ajob that shouldnt take any longer than 2.5hrs ...most dealers are around 100 hr

[Dans XR6 Turbo]

That is BullS##T mate. Talk to a bunch of people and find out what mechanic they use. The best way to find a good mechanic is word of mouth. As long as he is a legit licensed mechanic and better still registered with MTA then you can get him to do your services without effecting the warranty. I take mine to my local mechanic for the last 10 years. He stamps the service log book and that's that. Whenever there has been a major issue that is covered under warranty that my mechanic finds, I call ford, tell them the problem and they book it in under warranty.

I only use Ford for the warranty. I do everything else through my mechanic and save at least 70% of Fords price + I like the idea he has a T also with phase III so he knows the car inside out.

you are being shafted

Even if they charged half that it would still be too much

Take it to consumer affairs, that's plain ripping you off
