Carpenter ford Gatton QLD

[Lewy]

Gday all,

We just traded our ute in and got a brand new 2011 ford fiesta Zetec Diesel and were wondering if anyone here has used ford Gatton to do services and if they are any good??

I got a quote from Qford springwood (where we got the car from) and they said $300 for the 15,000KM service and Ultra tune Gatton $170 and Gatton Ford also $170 so I dont no why Springwood think they are worth so much more lol

So dose any one use Ultra tune gatton or gatton ford at all??

P.S the new little car drives so good and is way better put together than the XR ute. Handles better too just got a little less power

Cheers Lewy

Some dealers think their better,after the issues i had with certain ford dealers and the difference proffesionally id beleive that
As for ultratune*,ive had a bad dealing with them i wouldnt give them the ride on mower for a tune
Youll get conflicting issues

* Not gatton unltratune, another ultratune

Max Carpenter had a sweet AU drag car back in the day, so based on that, go with them!

Yes that's right I remember now his son is the sales guys there and now has a drag BA/BF and a bloody sick F6.. After talking to my better half we have decided to let Ford do the work that way at least its all done by Ford

Cheers every one

I get all my spares from Carpenter Ford. They are always helpful and heaps better than Toowoomba. If the service team is just as good you shouldn't have any dramas.

I thought Ford had capped price servicing now? Also, afaik, if you get your car serviced by Ford, you'll also get a years worth of roadside assist for 'free'.

Nothing would surprise me re Q Ford. I bought a car from Q in 2005 - first and definitely the last ever from them. Was more to do with the individual that I dealt with than the dealership in general.

I test drove the car I bought and we ran out of fuel on the test drive, pointed out a mark on the door card that he attempted to remove by licking his finger and rubbing, messed me around endlessly with the pre delivery stuff (I took the car for a weekend, then had to take it back and leave it with them for a few days), he absolutely stank (sweaty grubby smoker and I think I may have detected a beer like smell as well, not a good combo). FAIL.
