Jeep Servicing and Roadworthy Certificates – 2018 models and newer
Searching for a mechanic offering Jeep servicing and repairs? There’s no need to go back to the Jeep Dealer for your regular logbook servicing. We can service your car without voiding your manufacturer’s warranty. Most Jeeps take a special grade of oil such as Penrite Enviro + 5W20, which we recommend is changed every 10000-12000 km’s. Many workshops don’t have this grade oil readily available while we always keep this oil in stock. Like any make of car, Jeeps sometimes encounter specific issues and the most common Jeep work we do is Jeep servicing and ball joint replacement. We have all the right tools and equipment to replace Jeep ball joints. Other workshops often use us to carry out these types of repairs too.
Late model Jeeps, serviced end to end
Newer Jeeps are a different animal to the models of a decade ago. From 2018 onward, Jeep’s Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Compass and Gladiator lineups are built around layers of electronic control – advanced driver-assist systems, complex emissions and transmission management, tyre-pressure monitoring, and body modules that all talk to one another. Get any of it wrong and the vehicle throws faults, drops into limp mode, or simply won’t clear for a roadworthy.
At Ashmore RWC we service and certify these vehicles from start to finish. Whether you’re booking in for a scheduled service, chasing down a warning light, or need a Safety Certificate to sell or re-register, we handle the whole job in-house, not sending you off to a dealer to finish what we started.
New factory-grade scan tool for modern Jeeps
We’ve recently invested in a new dealer-level scan tool built to communicate with late-model Jeep systems the way the manufacturer intended. It reads every control module on the vehicle, not just the engine, so we can accurately diagnose faults, carry out the module resets and calibrations these vehicles need after repairs, and confirm everything is functioning before you drive away.
For 2018-and-above Jeeps that matters, because a lot of modern service and roadworthy work simply can’t be completed without it. Brake and steering assist recalibrations, service reminder resets, throttle and transmission relearns, and clearing stored fault codes correctly all rely on proper two-way communication with the car. Our new tool gives us that capability on site.
Jeep Capped Price Servicing
Are you familiar with Capped Price servicing? That’s where the final invoice price for your service should be exactly the same price that you were quoted. Of course there are instances where additional items are needed such as brakes, suspension, steering or other serviceable components and your mechanic won’t know this until they take a good look under the hood. One of our promises is that this will always be discussed with you first. You can always say no to additional repairs outside of what’s included in your service – as long as it isn’t something that is causing a safety concern to you and others on the road. For non-critical repairs we’ll advise a time frame or plan to get these things addressed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sometimes during your Jeep service we may uncover a repair that needs to be carried out. If this happens 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 when you come to collect your car.
Repairs that often come up include:
- Jeep ball joint replacement
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.
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.
Yes. Australian law lets you have your Jeep serviced outside a dealership without voiding the factory warranty, as long as the work follows the schedule with the correct parts and fluids and the logbook is stamped. We service to the Jeep schedule and keep your records in order.
Yes. We follow the Jeep service schedule for your model and stamp the logbook each time, so your service history stays complete. That protects the warranty while the car is new and helps resale value down the track.
In most cases, yes. Independent workshops usually charge less per hour than a franchised dealer while using parts that meet the same specification. You get the correct service without the dealer overheads. We quote before the work so you know the figure up front.
We use genuine or OEM-equivalent parts that meet Jeep specification, depending on the job and what you prefer. OEM parts are made to the same standard, often by the same suppliers, and usually cost less than dealer-branded stock. We will run through the options when we quote.
Most Jeeps are due every 12 months or around 12,000 km, whichever comes first, though it varies by model and engine. We will check where your car sits against the schedule and let you know what it needs.
A standard service covers an oil and filter change, a check of fluids, brakes, tyres, belts, hoses and suspension, and a report on anything that needs attention. Larger services add items like air and cabin filters, spark plugs, and transmission and differential fluids at set intervals. We tell you what your car is due for before we start.
It varies by model, but the ones we see include oil leaks, cooling system parts like the water pump and radiator, electrical faults and sensor issues, ball joints, and wear in suspension and steering components on higher-kilometre cars. Diesel models have their own items around the injection and exhaust systems. Catching these early keeps the repair smaller.
Yes. We work on both petrol and diesel models. Diesels have a few extra service items, such as fuel filters and DPF-related checks, and we cover those as part of the schedule for your engine.
Yes, across the common range including Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Wrangler, Compass and Renegade. If you have something less common, give us a call with the model and we will let you know.
Yes. Jeeps carry a lot of electronics, and reading fault codes and resetting service items properly needs the right tools. We use equipment that talks to the Jeep systems, so faults are read accurately rather than guessed at.
It depends on the model, the engine, and which service is due. A standard oil service sits at the lower end. Larger scheduled services with extra filters and fluids cost more. The accurate way to price it is to check your model and service history, then quote before any work.
A standard service is usually a same-day job. Larger scheduled services, or repairs that come out of the check, can take longer. We will give you a realistic time frame when you book or once we have looked over the car.
