Interim service - what to expect?

electrodent

Hi Guys,

Basic question, but not knowing a huge amount about cars, thought I'd ask more knowledgeable people...

I'm going to book my car in for an interim service. Any ball park figures on how much it going to be and what I can expect to be done to it? It's going to a fairly reputable garage, but it's still good to be prepared. It's a fiesta diesel, 110k, 2002, and apart from two very minor issues (it pulls slightly to the left - tracking alleviated it but not eliminated it, and 3rd gear which doesn't sound as healthy as the other gears, but otherwise fine). I've done about 8,000 miles, but I do around 500 miles a week so don't want any problems.

Thanks

chances are it would be a oil and filter change, quick look over the brakes n important bits and maybe a wash n hoover ..you see such services offered for £99 ish

they wont fix the pulling or 3rd gear prob

http://www.etis.ford.com/fordservice/serviceScheduleForm.do;jsessionid=BFCE583B3A4EE7CFD2A2E58099DE20E4.walv0673 this will give you the service schedule. At a dealership it will be about £100. Not much more than an oil change and kick the tyres but could be more due to the high mileage. What and when was the last service it had.

Last service was a full one 6 months ago/8,000 miles ago just before I bought it. That's a very helpful website, thanks.

The service cycle is 12 months / 12.5k miles so it does not need doing for 6 months / 4.5k miles yet.

as sadly it wont be worth much, i would start doing the basic servicing yourself if you have someone to help
