Hi Guys,
First of all, thanks for your continued valuable assistance  My AUIII warranty runs out on the 31st of this month, and was wondering where the best place to get my car serviced is. Am I right in thinking Ford will overcharge and underservice my car? What places would people recommend, out of the major chains (i'm in Adelaide)... Ultra Tune? Midas? Profix? Others that i'm sure i'm not thinking of? Thanks! |

The truth is no one will take as much care of yur car as you.
For general servicing it would be worthwhile learning to do it yourself. Even if your only a bit mechanicly minded. Most servicing these days is monkey bsiness remove and replace the diagnostics work is where you need a good mechanic with ford diagnostic tools. |

I reckon if you're A) unable to do it or B) Kinda lazy at times like me, then you give someone like Ultratune a try or find a local mechanic that you trust. Is their a forum sponser that operates in SA ? Can anyone here recommend a SA mechanic for Timeshift ?

I'd say DIY. However, if you don't want to, I suggest someone like Ultratune. I've got a local mech I use, lost a little faith in him when the EA lost the dizzy and coil, slowly gaining it back, the last wheel alignment he did on the AU was a shocker.

Yeah, best place to get it serviced is at home IMHO.
Service on AU is nothing more than oil/filter change and checkover.
