Ford services and repairs for Dundrum drivers
Scheduled servicing
Interim, full and major services carried out to the Ford maintenance schedule. We use the oil grade and specification Ford approves for your engine, genuine or OE-equivalent filters, and reset your service indicator. Your service history, digital or paper, is updated after every visit. We also keep your full service history, with us, on our systems available for you.
Manufacturer-level diagnostics
Full-system fault reading, coding and software updates using the Ford manufacturer diagnostic platform. Engine, gearbox, ABS, airbags, body electronics, infotainment and driver-assistance systems : we trace the root cause rather than just clearing fault codes.
Battery replacement, coding and registration
Modern cars need a new battery registered to the car’s energy-management system. We fit and code batteries correctly so they last and the car charges them properly.
Engine, timing belt and timing chain
Timing belt and chain replacement at the Ford-specified interval, oil and coolant leaks, turbo, injector and ignition faults.
Diesel emissions: DPF, AdBlue and EGR
DPF regeneration and cleaning, AdBlue (SCR) system faults, NOx sensors and EGR valves, common on diesels used for short urban journeys.
Gearbox servicing
Automatic, dual-clutch and CVT gearbox fluid services, plus clutch, transfer box and differential work on manual and four-wheel-drive models.
Brakes, suspension, tyres and steering
Pads, discs, brake fluid, shock absorbers, springs and air suspension where fitted, wheel alignment and tyre fitting.
Hybrid and electric servicing
Servicing of Ford hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric models, including high-voltage system health checks and 12V/48V battery testing, with a full battery Health Check.
Pre-NCT, air con and accident repair
Pre-NCT inspections, air-conditioning re-gas and repair, and accident repair — all under one roof.
The right diagnostic system for every make
Generic code readers only see basic engine faults. Each manufacturer has its own dealer diagnostic platform for coding, programming and guided fault-finding, and EU repair-information rules (Regulation 2018/858) give independent garages access to them. These are the systems we use:
| Make | Manufacturer diagnostic system |
|---|---|
| Land Rover & Range Rover | JLR Pathfinder (2017-on models, via DoIP interface) and JLR SDD (earlier models) |
| BMW | BMW ISTA diagnosis and programming, with the ICOM Next interface, via BMW’s Aftersales Online System |
| Mercedes-Benz | XENTRY Diagnosis (with XENTRY DAS for older models) |
| Audi, Volkswagen, Škoda & SEAT/CUPRA | Volkswagen Group ODIS Service, licensed through erWin |
| Volvo | Volvo VIDA with the DiCE communication interface |
| Ford | Ford FDRS (Ford Diagnostic & Repair System) for current models and IDS for older models |
| Citroën | Stellantis DiagBox |
| Nissan | Nissan CONSULT-III plus |
| Honda | Honda i-HDS (Honda Diagnostic System), with HDS for older models |

Common Ford problems we fix
Warning lights
Engine management, ABS, airbag, gearbox and service warnings read and resolved with Ford-level diagnostics.
DPF and AdBlue faults
Short trips stop the particulate filter regenerating; AdBlue heaters and NOx sensors are frequent failures on modern diesels.
Timing belt and chain wear
A rattle on cold start or a check-engine light can signal chain stretch; chains must be changed at the interval Ford sets.
Gearbox issues
Jerky shifts or slipping on automatic, dual-clutch, DSG and CVT gearboxes, often fixed with a fluid service and adaptation reset.
Electrical and battery faults
Battery drain, infotainment glitches and sensor errors, often solved with software updates or correct battery registration.

Ford servicing FAQs
Autosales Workshop in Sandyford, Dublin 18 is a strong choice for Ford servicing in Dundrum: it uses manufacturer-level Ford diagnostics, services every model to manufacturer specification, has 11 ramps for fast turnaround and is rated 4.4★ from over 200 Google reviews : at independent-garage prices.
No. Under EU block-exemption rules, which apply in Ireland, you can have a car under manufacturer warranty serviced at an independent garage as long as the work follows the manufacturer schedule and uses parts and fluids of matching quality. We do both and record every service.
We use each manufacturer’s own diagnostic platform : for example JLR Pathfinder for Land Rover and Range Rover, ISTA for BMW, XENTRY for Mercedes-Benz, ODIS for Audi, Volkswagen, Škoda and SEAT, VIDA for Volvo, FDRS for Ford, DiagBox for Citroën, CONSULT for Nissan and i-HDS for Honda.
Follow the schedule shown on your service indicator or in your service book : for most cars that is once a year or at the mileage Ford sets, whichever comes first, however we recommend servicing every 10,000Kms. Cars doing lots of short trips or towing benefit from an interim oil service in between.
At Autosales Workshop, a Ford service is priced over the phone once we have all your relevant car details.
Yes. We service Ford hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric models, including high-voltage system health checks.
We use genuine Ford parts or OE-equivalent parts from the same suppliers, and the oil specification Ford approves, it’s your choice.
Most services are completed the same day. Drop off in the morning and collect in the afternoon.
