Ford Fiesta 62,500mile Service (Interim?)

My 06 Fiesta is now due it's 62,500 miles service, just wondering if anyone here has any suggestions on where to get it done?
I know prices vary wildly depending on garages and what they actually include in a service, but if anyone here is from the Northampton area or knows of a national chain that they would recommend it'd be greatly appreciated :)

Thinking of going to In'n'Out in Northampton. It's £99, do you guys/gals think that's good value?

What's included (I emailed them):

The services we carry out is a fixed price menu service, we do not conform to dealer specific servicing as they all differ.

We use cooper filters and Castrol lubricants grade to engine spec with all our services for all makes and models

Service books are stamped and service lights can be reset but only if still under the required mileage, if over on mileage it will need to go to a dealer for the service light to be reset

Detailed below is a breakdown of the services we carry out

Hope this helps

We have two types of service, we have our xpress service which consists of an oil and filter change, your air filter is checked, all your fluid levels are checked and topped up if needed, all your lights and wiper blades are checked, your steering is lubricated, the vehicle under carriage is checked, the transmission fluid is checked, your tyres are checked for condition and wear and adjusted to the correct pressure if needed, the air con temperature is checked and the engine bay is checked for leaks.

Only issue I can see wit this is that they don't change the air filter, only check it. But I'm not sure how often that should be done anyway?

Thanks for your time!

    A lot of main dealers are reducing their servicing charges atm because of slow business - I'd phone your nearest Ford dealer and get a price.

    I know a Vauxhall interim service isn't too far off £99 at some dealers at the moment. :)

    Thanks for your reply Kilty, local Ford dealer is £125, not too bad I suppose...
