Let me invite you to Peter Warren Smithfield and the soon to be opened Phil McCarroll Ford Narellan NSW where you can observe, through a large window most of the workshop. You can watch mechanics/apprentices working on a variety of Falcons, Focus, Territory etc. But we successfull hid the burnout pad out the back......

What did the XE really need done for a service? Really, tell us! No computer, no abs, probably no a/c, airbags, DSC etc. Need I go on?

Take this garbage elsewhere please.

I invite you to inspect Grant Macaroll Ford Armidale, Mighty River Ford Grafton or Mike Blewitt Ford Coffs Harbour where me and my family have been burnt. The sales departments are good but the service departments are shocking.

BTW I was talking about the AU being serviced and at the very least from a $300 service I would expect the oil to be changed (which it wasn't), the light bulbs that were booked up to be replaced actually replaced and picking up my car in the afternoon I don't expect to be down a quarter of a tank, have dirty feet mark everywhere and for my car not to smell like burnt tyres.

There are many, many, many, many stories like mine so don't either saying I'm full of it.

I'll add my name for Grant McCarroll. The Dealer Principal single handly convinced me to never buy a Ford again, after a lifetime of buying them.
