Logbook servicing that keeps your warranty intact

You don't have to go back to the dealer. A logbook service here follows the manufacturer's schedule to the letter, so your new-car warranty stays exactly where it was.

Out of warranty? Then it's a general car service: the essentials done right, without paying for items your car doesn't need yet. Either way, regular vehicle servicing is the cheapest car maintenance there is. It's what stops a small, cheap fix turning into a big repair bill.

What a car service covers

Every car's schedule is a bit different, but a typical service here includes:

  • Engine oil and oil filter change
  • Air and cabin filters checked, replaced when due
  • Coolant, brake, power steering and washer fluids
  • Brake pads, discs and handbrake inspected
  • Tyres, tread depth and pressures
  • Battery tested
  • Belts, hoses and leaks
  • Steering and suspension
  • Lights, wipers and horn
  • Logbook stamped

If we find anything else, you get a call and a price first. Nothing extra gets done without your say-so.

Common questions

Will servicing here void my new-car warranty?

No. Australian Consumer Law lets you have your car serviced by any qualified mechanic without losing the manufacturer's warranty, as long as the work follows the manufacturer's schedule and the logbook gets stamped. That's exactly how we do it.

How often should my car be serviced?

Your logbook has the exact answer, but for most modern cars it's every 12 months or every 10,000 to 15,000 km, whichever comes first. Lots of short trips around the inner city are harder on a car than highway kilometres, so if that's you, don't stretch it.

What's the difference between a logbook service and a general service?

A logbook service follows the manufacturer's checklist for your car's age and kilometres, and keeps your warranty and service history intact. A general service is for cars out of warranty: the essentials like oil, filters, fluids and a good once-over, without paying for items your car doesn't need yet.

Do you service hybrids?

Yep. Hybrid Corollas, Camrys and the like get serviced to the same logbook schedule as the petrol versions.

Can I drop the car off in the morning?

That's what most people do. Drop it from 7:30am on your way into the city, and pick it up on the way home.
