Ya got a buddie who works there.
I trust an oilchange place over ever letting a ford dealer touch anything more complicated then a wiper blade.

I'd trust a qualified ford mechanic before any oil change place.

And the last time I trusted a jackass, dropouts-are-special oilchange place with changing the oil in the SPI... I had excessive tapping that miraculously went away after Ford worked their magic on the car. 2 1/2 years of driving it and it never really came back.

For the entire time we've got the new hatch, it'll never get serviced anywhere else other than Ford.

Ya well here in london watching ford try to fix somthing is like watching a chimp learn to use a hammer.

I woulda had MT.brydges ford do it cause them i trust with everything but they cant get me in for 3 weeks... and frankly the clutch wouldnt have lasted that long.

Got it private and the guy made me aware that the clutch needed to be done.

thats why it cost me 6300$ :D

And most of the parts cost me next to nothing.

I just figured do the rest of the stuff while they are doing the clutch that way I wont have to worry about it later.

And no used car warrenty covers clutch. Less the clutch actually blows and I dont really wanna let it come to that.
