Default 1st service aftermath impressions

I just had my zetec serviced at bink's ford footscray with a couple of complaints including:

-Right rear seat squeaking
-A part of the insulation sheet along the firewall comes off

Dropped the car at 9.30am and picked it up at 5. I was told that it would only take 1-2 hrs!!! Well no big deal as I walked away happy knowing that those two issues were rectified satisfactorily...

What I also noticed was they reflashed the ECU. I always had a complaint about the gearbox which sometimes jerk during shifts, failed downshifts smoothly, behaving erratically. But after the reflash I noticed something immediately. The gearbox is now MUCH better, smooth upshift and downshift, good kickdown responsiveness, and feels more connected than before!

Haven't driven much to notice any improvement on economy yet but I will keep posting. Anyway those with autos you guys better book your cars in to get the computer reflashed. I used to curse at the gearbox but not anymore!
