You can get stamps from other garages... if your car is out of warranty then it's pointless going to a ford garage as they are a rip off.

I take both my Foci to independant garages as they do a better job and the stamp is just as good... saves me money also.

was only considering the ford garage cos they had good deals on servicing. just over 100 quid for full service.
all ther services in the book from the previous owner were all at the same independant garage. so im not after a ford one

If its in warranty still, you can take it to any VAT registered garage, so long as they use genuine parts you will still have warranty...

But resale value is generally better if you have ford stamps

If Pacman had affected us as kids we'd be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music.

Ford warranty is 3 years.

By the look of your pictures, if that is your fiesta then it will be out of warranty now.

With current car markets and prices it really doesn't matter if you have ford stamps or other garage stamps, aslong as you have used ford parts and it's stamped then the difference in value is nothing really.

If you had an expensive car or one that was in warranty then yes... but after that period, nope.
