Gary A Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 As far as service, I have experience at Ford, Toyota, Isuzu and Nissan dealers. Nissan is the cheapest in my experience. A tent dealer also told me the Nissan parts are cheaper than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insurance is 2+ from AXA, includes breakdown. Excellent package with cover up to 350,000B. Got the first year free on 1st class, 2nd year paid 12,000B for 1st class with AXA, 2+ since. Battery, brake pads etc covered under major service. A well maintained truck won't have anything major go wrong inside 12 years. Initial services I had done at Ford. I had vouchers for free servicing, had to pay for consumables. Usually 1700B, once 3500B. Later oil changes with Castrol Magnatec have been 1300B including filter. Buy 4 get 1 free as well, so over 12 years, averaging 1500B/6 months for minor services is about right. Edited March 7, 2017 by naboo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed if maintained you can be ok, depending on the type of miles you put on. Where do you go for service now post warranty? I paid a hefty premium I believe at the dealer and going forward will look for a price pont more song the lines of what you are quoting. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An oil change is an oil change, just choose a good oil. For major services, I use Pro Auto in Chiang Mai (independent service centre, forum sponsor). Has a great reputation, the owner worked in repairs in the USA. Finding a good independent mechanic is the key, dealerships are pricey and usually staffed by unsupervised, inexperienced mechanics. Your national chains like b-quick are cheaper, but offer limited services and again, staffed by inexperienced mechanics. An independent lives on his reputation.

They would have to drug me, beat me, threaten my family. Then I would think about it for a while before I would buy another Ford. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacChang Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 The Ford's salesman in LOS does exactly that, or he'll tell his brother to get the job done. Be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
