    Hi all. What would be a reasonable price to pay to pay for a full service on a 1.5 diesel Ford Grand CMax please. Ford quoted me €359 and Windsor (local) quoted €349. Bit more than I was hoping for! Also any recommendations in Dublin 15 would be appreciated please.

    What year is the car? You'll likely only get cheaper from an independent mechanic.

    If it’s outside warranty it should qualify for the Ford motorcraft essential service which is 159. They’re doing €20 off that on the Ford website. (Code FORD20 or WINTER20)
    Obvs this isn’t a full service but surely a fuel filter air filter and pollen filter won’t be €200 extra.

    Personally, I wouldn't bring a car that's out of warranty to a main dealer. I'd get a good independent.

    The price will largely be determined by what needs to be done. If it's only oil and filters then it could be under €150 with most independents. It will get more expensive if you need work on brakes/suspension.

    Great point.

    I always do the same.

    People use the term full service as if it's a one size fits all thing with every car or garage carrying it out, it's not. A full service can mean different things to different garages so you need to get a breakdown of what a full service entails by each garage you are getting a quote from. It will also depend on what Ford define as a full service on a C Max and what work is actually due on it at a certain age and mileage.
