Every vehicle has different servicing requirements, so your log book service is completed according to your manufacturer's schedule. Depending on your vehicle, your service may include:

• Engine oil and filter replacement
• Comprehensive vehicle safety inspection
• Brake inspection
• Steering and suspension checks
• Battery testing
• Cooling system inspection
• Drive belt and hose inspection
• Tyre pressure and condition check
• Fluid level inspection and replacement where required
• Computer diagnostic scan where applicable
• Resetting service reminders
• Updating and stamping your log book

Most manufacturers recommend servicing every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres or every 6 to 12 months, whichever comes first. Following your scheduled service intervals helps keep your vehicle safe, reliable and performing as intended.

Putting off your scheduled service may seem like a way to save money, but it often leads to more expensive repairs later. Delayed servicing can result in:

• Increased engine wear
• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Poor vehicle performance
• Unexpected breakdowns
• Premature component failure
• Reduced resale value

Routine servicing is one of the smartest investments you can make in your vehicle.

Yes. Once your scheduled service has been completed, we'll update and stamp your log book, giving you a complete service history that helps maintain your vehicle's resale value and demonstrates it has been professionally maintained.

Most routine log book services are completed within a few hours. Larger scheduled services may require additional time depending on the manufacturer's maintenance schedule. We'll provide an estimated completion time when you book your vehicle.

Of course. If we identify any repairs or maintenance items during your service, we'll explain our findings, provide a clear quote and only carry out additional work after receiving your approval.

Yes. Regular servicing helps your engine run more efficiently by replacing old engine oil, maintaining clean filters, checking tyre pressures and ensuring key components are operating correctly. A well-maintained vehicle generally delivers better fuel economy and improved reliability.
