Regular car service is crucial in keeping your vehicle in its best condition. Apart from ensuring the longevity of your car's performance and functionality, regular car service also ensures that your vehicle warranty is upheld.
Failure to follow regular maintenance and services on your vehicle can lead to engine failure, which is an expensive problem to fix.
It's important to note that your new car service does not have to be done by the dealership. Any licensed mechanic can perform log book checks, and as long as it is recorded in the log book, your warranty will remain valid. This means you have the freedom to choose a mechanic who will give you quality services without breaking the bank.
At Rodney's Mechanical Repair Centre in Ringwood, we prioritise the well-being of your car. We offer log book services and ensure that we perform comprehensive checks on your vehicle's various systems, such as engine, transmission, brakes, and more.
With us, you can have peace of mind that your vehicle is always at its best.
The expert team at Rodney's Mechanical Repair Centre in Ringwood are fully qualified to conduct your vehicle's next Log Book Service, so contact us today and book it in.
Can Rodney's Mechanical Repair Centre service my new car without voiding the warranty?
Yes. At Rodney's Mechanical Repair Centre in Ringwood, we perform manufacturer-approved log book servicing that complies with your vehicle manufacturer's specifications. This means your new car warranty remains protected while you enjoy the personalised service and value of an independent Repco Authorised Service workshop.
What is included in a log book service?
A log book service follows the maintenance schedule provided by your vehicle's manufacturer. Depending on your vehicle's age and kilometres travelled, this may include:
Every service is tailored specifically to your vehicle's make, model and service interval.
Do I have to take my car back to the dealership for servicing?
No. Australian Consumer Law allows you to choose a qualified independent workshop for your scheduled servicing without affecting your manufacturer's warranty, provided the service follows the manufacturer's specifications and quality parts and fluids are used. Rodney's Mechanical Repair Centre has the equipment, technical information and expertise to perform warranty-compliant servicing.
How often should I book a log book service?
Your service intervals are determined by the manufacturer and are usually based on either kilometres travelled or time elapsed, whichever comes first. Many vehicles require servicing every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres or every 6 to 12 months. Checking your owner's handbook or asking our team is the best way to stay on schedule.
Why is log book servicing important?
Regular log book servicing helps:
Can you service all makes and models?
Absolutely. Our experienced technicians service most Australian, European, Japanese, Korean and light commercial vehicles. We have access to up-to-date manufacturer service schedules and diagnostic equipment to ensure every log book service is completed correctly.
Will my log book be stamped?
Yes. Once your scheduled service has been completed, we'll update and stamp your service log book (or electronic service record where applicable), giving you a complete maintenance history for your vehicle.
What's the difference between a log book service and a standard car service?
A standard car service is a general maintenance service designed to keep your vehicle running well. A log book service follows the exact maintenance schedule specified by the manufacturer, ensuring all required inspections, adjustments and replacements are completed at the correct intervals to maintain your warranty.
Is log book servicing more expensive than dealership servicing?
Not usually. Many vehicle owners find they receive the same manufacturer-compliant service at a competitive price from an independent workshop, along with more personalised customer service and direct communication with the technicians working on their vehicle.
