Ford Escort – 1.8-2Ltr

If you need a service for your Ford Escort look no further than Arnold Garage in Arnold, Nottingham. We’ve been servicing vehicles for over 20 years and your Ford Escort will be treated as one of our own if you choose us for your service.

Whatever age your Ford Escort is we have an appropriate service level. We are a real alternative to a Ford dealer, carrying out the same service as they would if your Ford Escort is still within its Ford warranty, but for a lot less money. We only use approved, genuine parts so your Ford warranty will be maintained.

If your Ford Escort is older and not bound by the terms of its Ford warranty anymore, we offer Interim, Annual and Major servicing, dependent on annual mileage and previous service history – we will assess your Ford Escort individually and advise on which is appropriate.
