What a Logbook Service Actually Covers
A logbook service isn’t a general once-over, it’s the specific list of checks, fluids and parts your manufacturer sets down for that mileage or time interval, usually every 6 months or 10,000km, whichever comes first. A minor service is typically oil, filter and a safety check; a major service adds items like spark plugs, brake fluid and cabin filters. What’s due depends entirely on your make, model and current odometer reading, not a generic schedule. Under Australian consumer law, none of this has to happen at a dealership to keep your warranty intact, it has to happen to spec, with approved parts, and be recorded. That’s the part we take seriously: every service gets logged properly so your book stays complete when you go to sell.
Two things worth checking before you book: whether your car is due for a roadworthy certificate as well, and if you drive a European car what your service is likely to cost compared to the dealer. Our Audi servicing cost guide breaks that down by interval, and the same logic applies across BMW, Mercedes, VW, Skoda and Volvo.
Vehicle Management Service
Ask for this and we’ll map out a running plan for your specific car rather than reacting service to service: roadworthy timing, what’s due over the next six months, and honest advice on what can wait versus what can’t. It costs nothing, and your full service history is kept on file and handed over whenever you need it, selling the car, changing insurers, whatever the reason.

Wheels and tyres
We stock puncture-resistant tyres: lab-tested against 200+ nails and screws, with a lining that stops sudden deflation and keeps running temperature down. They come with a 3-year/40,000km warranty, a lifetime warranty on the sealant itself, and punctures up to 6mm across the tread face are covered outright.
Common sizes (195/65R15, 205/65R15) from $210.00, call 07 5597 0099 with your size off the sidewall (it’ll read something like 195/65R15 92H) for an exact price.
If your car’s pulling to one side or wearing unevenly, that’s usually alignment, not tyres. See our wheel alignment page.

Logbook Servicing FAQs
What’s the difference between a logbook service and a basic service?
A logbook service is set by your manufacturer: fixed intervals, fixed checklist, varies by make and model. A basic service is general maintenance without that manufacturer-specific structure.
How often do I need one?
Every 6 months or 10,000km, whichever comes first, as a general rule, check your specific interval against your logbook, since it varies by model.
Will using an independent mechanic void my warranty?
No. Australian consumer law protects this: your warranty stays valid as long as the service is done to spec, with approved parts, and properly recorded, the workshop doesn’t have to be the dealer.
What actually happens if I miss one?
Within about 1,000km or a few weeks of the due date, it’s usually not an issue. Beyond that you’re risking a denied warranty claim if something related goes wrong later, plus a visible gap in your service history that buyers will notice and use to negotiate the price down.
Why does the logbook itself matter?
It’s the paper trail proving servicing happened on schedule, to spec, with the right parts. That record is what protects your warranty now and what a buyer’s mechanic checks before they’ll recommend the purchase.
