Dealer and indie columns are estimates for your area (national average until you enter a ZIP), across every model and drivetrain version we price. "Owners paid" is the middle 50% of sourced owner prices where we have at least 3. DIY is parts only. Tap a column header to sort.
Where a job's price differs by model or drivetrain, the range spans the versions that fit the F10 (see "Covers"). Some jobs also apply to other chassis, so check the details on each job page.
