Service will be under $650 with brake fluid change, if I go local mechanic I bet I'll still get slugged over $500 if I roll up to get a service in an FPV. Likely a small premium to get a dealer service.

However, I'd not get ford to change pads and discs on my Brembos as I'll likely need a small personal loan to pay for that type of work.
mate, you're being paranoid if you had a local independent that you had a good relationship with I cant see why you wouldn't use him. Its not a problem for any workshop to use genuine oils and filters. Its not a exotic car like some crazy Euro cars, only servicing a Falcon at the end of the day.
The guys don't get exited when a F6 or whatever rolls in.
Where I work all sorts of cars come in for the first service and stay there for the life of the vehicle. Will not effect your warranty like people who don't know any better think.
