    2 out of 5 2.0

    I have a very low opinion of the service of Ford franchised garages. I had to resort to contacting Ford customer services last year about the quality of service I had received from a garage.

    TDi engine would die whilst in motion. I understand from a friend who works for Ford this was a 'known error' - quickly and successfully rectified by the garage.
