- Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I service my car?
Most vehicles should be serviced every 10,000–15,000 kilometres or every 12 months, whichever comes first. The exact interval depends on your vehicle manufacturer and how you drive. Regular car servicing helps maintain performance, improve fuel efficiency, extend the life of your engine and reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns. Following your manufacturer's recommended service schedule also helps maintain your vehicle's resale value and service history.
Can I skip a yearly service if I don't drive much?
No. Even if your car has travelled very few kilometres, engine oil, brake fluid and other essential fluids deteriorate over time. Rubber seals, belts and hoses can also age while the vehicle is parked. An annual service ensures your car remains safe, reliable and ready to drive while helping identify small issues before they become expensive repairs.
What's the difference between a minor and major service?
A minor service includes replacing the engine oil and filter, checking fluid levels and inspecting key safety components such as the brakes, tyres, battery and suspension. A major service includes everything in a minor service, plus replacing manufacturer-scheduled components such as spark plugs and filters, performing more detailed inspections and completing diagnostic checks. Major services help keep your vehicle running reliably and prevent costly repairs.
What is a logbook service?
A logbook service follows your vehicle manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule using the correct parts, lubricants and procedures. Each service is recorded in your logbook to maintain your service history and help protect your new car warranty. Whether your vehicle is new or several years old, regular logbook servicing keeps it performing safely and efficiently.
Will an independent mechanic void my new car warranty?
No. Under Australian Consumer Law, you can have your vehicle serviced by any qualified mechanic or independent service centre. As long as the correct manufacturer servicing procedures are followed and quality parts and lubricants are used, your new car warranty remains valid.
Do I have to service my car at the dealership?
No. You are not required to return to the dealership for routine servicing. An experienced independent workshop can complete your logbook servicing to the manufacturer's specifications while maintaining your warranty. Many customers choose an independent mechanic for personalised service, competitive pricing and experienced technicians.
Can you service all makes and models?
Yes. We service all makes and models, including petrol, diesel, hybrid and many electric vehicles. Whether you need a logbook service, routine maintenance, diagnostics or mechanical repairs, our qualified technicians have the experience and equipment to keep your vehicle running at its best.
How long does a car service take?
Most minor and logbook services take between 1.5 and 3 hours, depending on the vehicle and the work required. Major services and repairs may take longer. If we identify any additional repairs during the inspection, we'll contact you for approval before carrying out any extra work.
Why is regular car servicing important?
Routine servicing improves safety, reliability and fuel efficiency while helping prevent unexpected mechanical failures. Regular inspections allow worn components to be replaced before they cause expensive damage, helping extend the life of your vehicle and maintain its resale value.
Do you provide quotes before carrying out repairs?
Yes. If we find any repairs outside your scheduled service, we'll explain the issue, discuss your options and provide a clear, upfront quote before any additional work begins. You'll always know exactly what your vehicle needs and why.
