IceBoy Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 Will all dealers across the UK charge the same? The independent around here is at least 25% cheaper ? Fruads wants Quote
Richard gal Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) The main dealer has higher labour to cover extra overheads, like having to pay for the only computer that can communicate with the car. The ford fitted belt will come with a full warranty. But its your choice. Edited April 19, 2007 by Richard gal Quote

raymac Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 That's a very good price is that, makes a mockery of what they are quoting Iceboy, might be worth you phoning that dealer Iceboy and get the service managers name then speak to your dealer and ask him to see if he would be prepared to ask why that another dealer can do it for Quote
