Just make sure you do get all new parts and everything you think is being replaced replaced.

Freeway ford are a good bunch but the still use inflated Ford prices...

Bought my new car from our mechanic of 5 years and when the 100,000 service is due hes going to do it for free, put a k+n on it and replace the brake pads and all this for free.Saves me some money. :

Thats what they charged me for my 100K service, its a major service so it involves changing spark plugs, oil, and some other stuff.
