There is a free 3000km peace of mind service, lucky for you I just had my 15,000km service done last week probably the first in the country for this car hehe. That one cost me $270

Mmm. Mine's cracked over 22,000, and had my service a few weeks ago. $220 for the 15,000 and that included a wheel balance.

I stand corrected then, you must be doing a hell of a lot of travelling. So it seems every service centre will differ in pricing, yours was obviously better.

thanks guys, sounds good.

I have a while to go before I need servicing, the car Im buying only has 2000 kms on the clock, but its still good to know. I was worried because I thought being a diesel ford might try to charge a rediculous amount - but it seems like it costs the same to service as the regular focus.

cant wait to get this car - would love to change the rims to the slightly bigger 17inch sports version, guess il keep my eye out onthe 2nd hand market for them.

All Dealers differ on everything from parts pricing to labour rates. If in doubt, just phone ahead and get a quote!

hehehe, yeah just a few k's. Yeah I think it's dependent on location, but there is also a lot of competition for my local dealer, as there is another one about 30kms away.
