Ford Capped Service - Worthless

[dimka100]

So today I went for my first 15K service, I was quoted $255 for my FG, I figured I will try the Artarmon Ford which is not too far away from my work.

When I arrived I asked the following questions:
1. Does this service include an air filter change – the answer was NO
2. Does this service include full synthetic oil – the answer was NO
3. Does this service include check up of the fuel filter – the answer was NO
4. Does this service include shock absorber test – the answer was NO

So I basically asked what does this service actually include? And the answer was an oil change and just a “general” check up … i.e. we make sure nothing looks totally broken or has fallen off …

In the past I used to service my car in one of the tuning shops around the Marrickville area, they were not the cheapest but for about $300 I used to get synthetic oil, sew air filter, a full check up of the car including under body bolts tightening, full shock absorber test with a printed report, the whole car was completely looked over and nothing was left untouched … I know it cause I was there to see them do it …

I made a big mistake thinking the convenience of the Ford service centre being close to my work was worth it, next time I will take a day off and get my car properly serviced
