John Blair Automotive    15th March 2023

There are many reasons to keep your car up to date when it comes to servicing, and it's important to know that an independent service centre such as John Blair is authorised to do the work. And there are even more good reasons to choose us for servicing your car in Melbourne.

It is important to maintain any vehicle properly and that means visiting a dealer centre for every scheduled service interval. This will ensure your Honda, Toyota, Hyundai or other brand car remains reliable, safe, and runs well. Above that, there are further reasons you should visit a trusted service centre on time, such as ensuring any recalls are done on time and that you keep your car covered under warranty.

Logbook Servicing

We are often asked: "Can a different service centre stamp my car’s logbook?" The answer is, yes!

The ACCC has confirmed that independent car service centres such as John Blair can perform scheduled servicing on other manufacturer cars, and it is mandated that information be shared with us that all repairs and servicing can be performed correctly.

Some of the regular tasks we carry out when servicing your car include changing the oil and filter, replacing all scheduled service items, checking under the bonnet and car, checking the car’s tyres and lights (safety check) and a road test and report.

At the end of your service with John Blair, we wash your vehicle and stamp the logbook in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements. Don't worry, we have it covered!
