Ford claims that its Motorcraft centres can rival independent garages for price and service. Here's why

Big car dealerships don’t have the best of reputations. Given the choice between a dealer or a local independent garage, many drivers will go indie. They’re often cheaper and have a reputation for offering a more personal level of service.

Motorcraft's services range from Ford's free eCHECK, which offers you a free 30-point health check for your car, to Ford Motorcraft 4+, specifically designed for drivers with Ford cars that are four years or older.

Ford talks the talk, but does it walk the walk?
