I use Jubilee Ford at Five Dock for all my vehicles including non fords.
Great blokes there and some great mechanics too.
Very rarely ever have to take anything back, always is fixed first time around.

Agree with you there! I had taken my Fiesta a few times to them before selling it... great guys, always there to help! Kind of miss taking my car for a service there

I take mine to Peter Warren Special, Smithfield, which is fairly out of the way for me. Guys there aren't too bad and looks like they take care of the customers cars well.

Depends on the car. ED, EL, AU, BA etc.
Ring 97154050 and speak to fred, glen or paul. Ask for a price first and arrange to send it in.
Let them know you've been referred to them by other customers of theirs. Also, be willing to accept that they may find faults with your vehicle, and they will show you around said faults ie, brakes, tyres etc. (not sure of your vehicles condition so can't say for sure)

Does the tall guy with blonde hair still work there? some sort of weird name though...

Although not a Falcon, I found their prices to be competitive. Their drops off times are great too... I never had to hang around and wait for someone to approach me. I was out of there within 2 minutes everytime

I use Hills Ford in Hornsby to service my work chariot and they have so far been extremely helpful and informative. I have only once had a repeat problem and that was quickly sorted out.
I am looking to buy my new one off them too- they were great to deal with at all turns ( and I've been in sales for years!) so I'd recommend them fairly well.

Teki04, I know the guy you're talking about - Zintis.
He was the only person there that I would tell people to stay away from. I once had a car in summer that developed an incredibly strong fuel smell whilst I was driving and he told me that I couldn't just come in off the street. I then proceeded to rip him a new one, and proffered to tony (the boss) that perhaps such an arrogant bastard shouldn't be there to greet customers.
BTW of course it is ok to pop into your local dealer when your car develops a serious problem.

Anyway, he was not well liked by anyone (his mum included), and he was just incredibly weird. All the staff and mechanics just called him zigzag, hitler (master race), inbred (albino), a whole bunch of other names I can't repeat here and thanks to me; child of the corn.

He left only about two weeks ago when he decided to become a sherriff. He apparently was boasting about having a badge, handcuffs and a baton. I couldn't leave that one alone so asked if he was talking about a weird kinky fantasy or a job.
This little jibe was met with alot of laughter, and a very angry zintis.
The last thing anyone said to him were a couple of the mechanics singing "I shot the sherriff".
Weird name, weird bloke.
