Default Ford Smax service

Morning all

my s max 1.8 tdci is due service number 5, is there any benefit to getting it done at ford. Im sure i have read somewhere that it has to be serviced at ford to keep up the corrosion warranty. Ford is about £50 dearer.

As long as ford parts are used and you can proove it you can get it done anywhere. The corrosion warranty is bollocks anyway. It's a perforation warranty not a corrosion warranty. Surface rust is not covered. It has to be a hole.

I think the corrosion warranty is crap, wouldn't bother at all. I'd much rather my car was serviced by an independant garage by a proper mechanic than a £3 an hour 16 year old apprentice at the main dealers.
