Just changed the setting, multiple votes are now allowed

actually one answer doesn't work. Current i would select three of the options.

Maybe multi choice if the poll allows.

I do some of the basic maintenance myself. I have let certain dealers do work, but it depends on the dealer..(both east and west coast).

Recently had to replace the transmission.. Car was towed to the local NFGT certified dealer.. Talking with the mechanic, his

statement of " I'm really only trained on the NFGT, I haven't done much with the 05/06" lead me to trailer the car to

"theGTGuy"Rich Brooks. If he had been certified earlier for airbags, I would have done them there also.

If I lived closer to Rich.. he would get all my business.

I voted for local dealer, but I use the term local loosely. I'm in Columbus, OH and I take my GT up to Pat Millikin Ford. Excellent service and they have experienced, trained technicians.

I trust my ford dealer to do everything

None of the choices above! My local Ford dealer will not touch the car, no one in their shop has ever worked on one. Generally, Ryan Pond comes to my home every year and we do the necessary maintenance together in my garage (I have a drive on lift). I have also done some specific items by myself or with a friend who is a certified M-B and Porsche mechanic.

I’m fortunate here in So Cal. Several quality options. I’ve done three options.

Like many others, I usually change fluids (oil, coolants, clutch/brake/tranny fluid) myself, but have had Kendall and Ryan at Cooltech handle those at times. They have installed my Ford Racing Pulley and tune and lowering spring perches and oil pump belt so when there I had them handle fluids at those times.

I also have used Galpin to replace a windshield and cracked clamshell vents under warranty, Santa Monica Ford install Ford Racing trans cooler when new and replace front air bags under warranty.

Does Ford still offer Ford GT training to techs or are the ones we have at dealers now the ones left from the first graduating class?
