Ford service plans worth it?

[SteveS]

Thanks Steve. Did you buy the service plan through Ford or the dealer?

As Tooley says, buy direct from Ford online, that way the dealers can't sell you their plan

Thanks a lot Tooley, really helpful

There's also the protect plus one which you can only buy before first registration. I didn't do that, through laziness and a general feeling that if anything was going to go pear shaped it would do it within the first couple of years or 30k miles

Nearly 50k now and so far so good.....

Yes good point. Get it from Ford and not the dealer.

Main dealer servicing is a necessary part of this. No doubt someone could point to a weblink which suggests otherwise, but I’ve done my research

nope its not and its actually illegal for them to do that.

I would always take my car to a main dealer during the warranty period especially so Ford can't squirm out of any faults. It also helps with residuals on the car

On the few occasions i’ve been in to Ford dealerships i’ve always left feeling unsatisfied. Mine will always go to a specialist/independent, i feel they give a better service and it’s usually much better value. Never given a hoot about residuals...
