Indys can provide the same care as a dealer, usually at a better price. But do get a quote and an itemised service list by a Ford garage first and use that to get quotes from indys.
You didn't give a location?

Not DIY, moved to main forum for recommendations.

€140 for a Ford own service sounds very reasonable.
Then again, what is a 5 point service, no-one knows. Only an itemised list can tell.
