Wasn't paranoid about the service just saying I'd rather get a Ford Dealer stamp in the log book and for simple servicing they're not much more expensive.
I don't know what kind of independent's you've been going to, but $500 is alot for a service. My independent does the equivalent service for $200-$300.
