Hello everyone.
I'm wondering how much is the regular service/oil change at a typical Ford Dealer in the US?
I just recently took mine in for the first scheduled service at 5000 KM and was charged KD 17.5 ($64). I tried to argue with the service rep. that the first service should be free. He replied "Not at FORD". Then I tried to get a discount and he said that the first service was already discounted 50%. From the next service on I would have to pay almost $128 per service . Then i asked him how much would it be if I were to get the oil change only and not the whole service? He replied that getting just an oil change would void the warranty. I HAVE to get the full service from the FORD dealership itself AND have to agree to the work they recommend in order to keep the warranty. I feel I'm being ripped off by Ford.
In comparison, the regular scheduled service for a Toyota Land Cruiser here is around $70. And there is no up-selling or pressure tactics.
