Ok I threw this in OT since it applies to anyone who services their car at Ford not just Focus owners.

At my dealer today while I was picking up the car after its 45K service, I'm handed a scratch card for Ford's service department promotion instant win. Now at my dealer the placards annoucing this contest have been up since I bought the car, this was the first time I ever got a card, but I digress. So as the cashier is swiping my credit card she's telling me to scratch the card, which I do and lo and behold I actually win something...

That something being a mini screwdriver set emblazoned with the Ford logo.

So as I'm leaving, looking at the bill again and the total cost. I'm thinking to myself "So is Ford saying I've just been screwed by the service department?" :lol:

Well atleast you got something for your trouble. Most people that walk into the stealership for service don't get the pleasure being shown they're getting screwed.

I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

I won a tool kit with a Swiss Army knife, screwdriver, air pressure guage and a pen.
