I need to change my fuel filter and i wanted to ask from your experiences which Ford Dealership do you recommend? I usually go to Yonge/Steels (Ford Lincoln).
After reading a lot of posts on changing fuel filter, i think it's something i'd rather just pay $60 bucks for the shop to do it.

I use Dixie Ford (Because I'm a member of the SVTOA and they are a sponsor I get better rates) no problems so far.

if your in Brampton, I'd say Colony Ford, they are fair, and I've never had an issue with them.
If your in the Kitchener Area, I'd say use Weiland Ford, the service I got there was absolutely fantastic, the guys in the mechanic shop went above and beyond in customer service, so I'd highly recommend them if your in that area.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

Fuel filter is pretty easy to change yourself. About $20 instead of the $80 you'll pay at ford.

X2. Never did mine, but I've always heard about how easy it is. My only excuse (and a poor one at that) is lack of a garage.

i figured that if i can change my own CAI intake, door handles, headlamps, and do my own oil change, a fuel filter should be doable....but for some reason with all the different lines i have to plug and unplug i dunno....i'll just pay the extra $ for peace of mind....thats why im looking for a reputable ford dealership to go to. I've just heard too many bad reviews about ford dealerships and how they scam you and whatnot.......it's too bad everything is about money nowadays and loyalty to a company and its customers is 2nd rate.

Other than being in an awkward spot under the car close to where the back seat is, it was not that hard to do. The most difficult part for me was pressing the clips in a tight spot to remove the connecting hoses.
