Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if you see something that needs repair while you’re doing my service?

Sometimes during a car service we may uncover a repair that needs to be carried out. If this happens when we are servicing your car, we’ll contact you immediately to let you know the repair needed, the cost involved and to request your approval before carrying out the repair. This way there are no nasty surprises or ‘bill shock’ when you come to collect your car.

Repairs that often come up include:

Brake fluid flush
Coolant flush
In tank fuel filter replacement
Timing belt replacement
Air filter replacement
Spark plugs
Cabin filter

How often should I get my car serviced?

We always recommend 6 month/10,000km service intervals.

Perhaps you have been told this is not necessary anymore – for certain car models the service interval (the period of time between recommended services) can now can range from 10,000 to 25,000kms and even up to 2 years.

Car engines and oil quality has improved greatly over the years and as a result, manufacturers have increased the service intervals.

Unfortunately this may offer a false sense of security to car owners. Sticking to the recommended manufacturer service intervals does not guarantee your engine will remain trouble-free.

In most car manuals, it will mention factors that impact the service intervals like personal driving habits and road conditions where the service intervals by kilometres do not apply.

That’s why we think sticking to 6-months / 10,000km is best. It helps to keep your car in good condition and maximises the opportunity to be proactive about repairs before they become an issue.

Why is it so important to change your car oil?

Just like humans need water, cars need oil. Without it, your car won’t be lubricated, causing deterioration inside your engine and potentially everyone’s worst nightmare – a breakdown.

Water vapour, unburnt fuel and gases from the combustion process can overload your engine oil and these combine to form sludge deposits on your engine. Engine sludge clogs the oil galleries and limits lubrication to moving parts inside the engine which can lead to costly repairs.

Your car needs to drive 15 – 20 kilometres for the engine to fully warm up and reduce the rate of contamination. This is why we change the engine oil.

Why do you use a specific type of oil?

When poor quality or incorrect oil is used in an engine it often doesn’t have the right additives or viscosity to begin with, which leads to premature sludge build-up on your engine. On many occasions we’ve seen a vehicle with a full service history from the manufacturer arrive with a sludgy engine. Not good!

That’s why using a quality oil (and changing it regularly) is essential.

When you visit us, take a look at our oil shelf. We usually have over 20 different variants of engine oil in stock. We use Penrite Oils.

We’re serious about putting the right oil in your car and helping your engine last the distance – not adding you to the growing number of car drivers needing an engine replacement.

What’s a Logbook Service?

A Logbook Service refers to what the car manufacturer (e.g. Toyota, Mazda) specifies will need to be replaced / checked / cleaned / adjusted during a particular service in order to maintain a vehicle’s warranty. You don’t have to go to the dealership for your logbook servicing. We stick closely to the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure you can visit us (usually at a more affordable price) while maintaining your manufacturer warranty.

Get in touch

We get it – when choosing someone to regularly service your car, price is important. And while our car servicing prices are reasonable, we know we’re not the cheapest.

There’s lots of information and promises made on websites – but actions speak louder than words. Price is one thing, but there are other things to consider: quality of the parts, if the mechanic who is working on your car is adequately qualified, and if the workshop is adequately insured. After years of experience working at both small and large workshops we can tell you first-hand that a branded or franchised company does not necessarily mean you’ll get a better outcome for your wallet – or your car.

Qualified Mechanics

Between our team, we have over 30 years combined experience, giving you peace of mind that there will always be someone qualified servicing your car. You can speak directly with the mechanic working on your car if you have any concerns.

No Hidden Extras

When dealing with the cheapest pricing be aware of hidden extras. We don’t like hearing stories from customers who have been over-serviced with add ons. Costs of cheap servicing tend to be recouped elsewhere.

Long Term Performance

Every vehicle is unique and so is the pricing on car servicing. Please be aware that getting your car serviced at the cheapest price may not be the best option for the long term performance of your car.

Warranty

We offer a 6-month / 10,000km warranty on our workmanship. We also offer a 6-month warranty on new parts when the vehicle can be brought back to our workshop to have the faulty part replaced. More information on our Warranty here.
