For those who have bought a new car and have had the FPS included, how many times have you been caught out with "extra charges". The same for any other brand too.

I can do a lot of the general consumables myself, anything else gets done by my local mechanic.

Never been stung with extra charges. However, I don't think FPS is a great deal, they just change the oil + filer and not much else.
Any local mechanic could do the same for less dollars. |

Dealer dependant, they try up sell for stuff like balancing the wheels, injector cleaner. Load of rubbish.
Tried a independent, was cheaper but didn’t include road side assist. Add that on and they cane out square.

I sorta always thought Ford servicing was a rip. Being on here I've heard all the stories as many others have. Recently I researched SUVs looking at Endura and comparing against CX5/8/9 even a SKODA which was quite interesting. VW Tiguan on the list but then I looked at the servicing costs. Geez if u think Ford rip u a new one then u ought to see the others. I stayed clear of Kia/Hyundai, not a fan, but then I thought check em out. WOW I thought their servicing would be better than Fords but it was way up there. Over the first 5 years it was at least 1k more than Ford. I didn't like Kia and Hyundai just because but now I have a legitimate reason to cross them off.
