Main dealer standard Ford servicing in Barnsley, without the main dealer "tax"
If you run a Ford around Barnsley, servicing comes down to two things: what it costs, and how far you have to drive to get it done. The Fiesta on the school run, the Focus doing the commute, the Puma, the Transit that earns its keep all week. And if yours is one of the wetbelt engines, you want someone who'll talk you through it straight rather than leave you guessing.
At anycolourcar.com, we think you shouldn't have to choose between quality and convenience.

"I've spent over 30 years in the motor trade, a lot of it in franchised dealers. The standard of work doesn't come from the badge on the door. It comes from the people, the parts and the kit. We've got all three, without the overheads."

The best of both worlds
Our service centre at Stairfoot gives you main-dealer-level work with the value and personal service of a local, family-owned business.
Main dealer quality:
Skilled, EV-trained technicians who work on Ford models every week
OEM-approved parts
OEM-grade diagnostic and workshop equipment, the same standard you'd find at a franchised dealer
High-grade Shell oils and digital service history updates where your car supports it
Without the main dealer "tax":
No franchise overheads built into your bill
No inflated labour rates
No long drive for a routine service - Stairfoot is a few minutes away for most of the town
If you're running a Transit out of Wombwell, or dropping in from Hoyland or Cudworth, Stairfoot is a short run and you can leave the keys on your way past.
Our sales team works on a no-commission basis, and the workshop runs the same way. Nobody earns more by talking you into work you do not need. You get a clear diagnosis and a written estimate before any major job starts.
What we look after
We handle everything from routine servicing to more involved work on the Fiesta, Focus, Puma, Kuga, Transit and the rest of the range:
Scheduled servicing to the manufacturer's schedule
Wetbelt condition assessment and timing-belt planning where relevant
Brakes, suspension, exhaust and clutch work
Warning light diagnosis
Hybrid and electric vehicle servicing
On wetbelt engines - where the cambelt runs in oil - we'll assess the belt, explain what we can see, and give you a cost before anything comes apart.
Will it affect my manufacturer warranty?
No. UK competition law protects your right to have your car serviced by an independent garage during the manufacturer warranty. A manufacturer can't refuse warranty cover just because the servicing wasn't done by a franchised dealer. It only needs to follow the manufacturer's schedule, use parts of matching quality, and be properly recorded.
That's exactly how we work, and every service is fully documented. If a warranty repair or recall is needed, that still goes through the franchised network, and we'll tell you when that's the case.
FAQ
Are you an official Ford dealer?
No. We're an independent, family-owned business. That independence is what lets us offer main dealer standards without main dealer prices.
Can you do my MOT?
Yes, we arrange it for you. The test itself is carried out at a partner testing station, so just mention it when you book your service.
Do I need to have bought my car from you?
Not at all. Our service centre is open to everyone, whatever you drive and wherever you bought it.
