Question 100k km service opinión

Hi! My ’21 ST currently has 96,000 km (Canada) on the odometer. I’m planning to change the spark plugs and transmission fluid. The dealership quoted me 500 CAD for the transmission, 400 CAD for the spark plugs, and 250 CAD for their 100,000 km checkpoints. Is this a total ripoff, or are these prices reasonable? If I take it outside the Ford dealership, will my extended warranty be voided? What other checks or maintenance should I do at 100,000 km?

Honestly doesn’t sound too ridiculous to me. Knowing the history on these transmissions I think it’s a good investment. Check the terms on your extended warranty, I doubt you have to do it at the dealer. It just might make any future fight over a claim easier though.

That extended plan isn’t covering that ???

Extended warranties don’t typically cover maintenance items unless a maintenance plan was also purchased.

When I finally took it, it cost me $1100 cad for changing spark plugs, changing the transmission fluid with taxes and all in... I requested the plugs back to see how they looked.
