I have had numerous Fords, Jeeps, Subarus and Toyotas. It seems that they ALL have had a recall or more. My father-in-law is a tried and true Chevy man. He is always taking his vehicles in for recalls too. It is not a Ford thing.
I have learned to take my 10 year or less old vehicles to the dealer for service. They perform more informed service AND they complete all outstanding recalls. It has saved me money over the years in wasted labor charges. If a small shop would have completed some of the work I am sure the number of hours taken to troubleshoot the problems would have out weighed the cost of utilizing the dealership.
My wife works at a dealership and the stories that she hears from people that take their cars to small shops are almost gastly!
I wonder how many people own Toyotas from the mid 90's that can get a FREE motor (or how many people have paid a shop to rebuild theit Toyota motor when it would be covered at the dealer). Only a dealership can identify this type of covered service and complete the work.
