Just to add a bit to this, my van had it's first annual service last week at a Ford commercial vehicle agent and I found out if you don't specifically ask for a paint and body check they don't do it. Don't know if this applies generally.
Some garages apparently charge for this (usually £30 - £40) on top of the service charge and although some might think it a waste of money, it has to be done to maintain the paintwork and anti corrosion warranty.
Had my 2009 2.4 Transit based motorhome serviced at the local main Ford Truck Centre garage. Total price £110 for oil and filter change and general check over. They also replaced a number plate bulb during the service.
The vehicle has only covered 3500 miles but had to be serviced the retain the 3 year warranty.
....but i recently read that if a garage use original manufacturers parts, and follow manufacturers recommendations then any garage can service any vehicle and the warranty is still valid under euro laws.
I will research this as my latest Audi bill (S4 cabriolet) and VW bill (Touareg) are hitting close to £1000 for basic services between them!
If anyone can link to confirmed info then that will save me a lot of research because local Audi and VW specialists and will do it for half the cost.
........oh and dont get me started on oil - the S4 needed 10 litres of long life oil at £10+ per litre!!!!! I would have asked them to put the royal family's blood in instead as it was cheaper but they didnt have any in stock
