ford service costs Page 40

Ford service costs in Australia vary by model and engine, but a typical annual service runs about AUD $300–$450 for small cars, $400–$550 for mid-size SUVs, and $450–$650 for a Ranger diesel.

Major interval visits (think 60,000–120,000 km) can push to $700–$1,200 as extra filters, fluids and inspections join the party.

Dealer servicing often includes capped-price schedules on many models, while a reputable independent can be cheaper—just keep logbook stamps to stay sweet on warranty.

Extras like brakes, tyres, DSG/auto transmissions, and coolant flushes are outside “standard” pricing, so budget for them unless you enjoy surprises.
