FAQs about Car Service & Repairs
  • How often should I get my car serviced?
Generally, it’s recommended to get a basic service every 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first. For specific recommendations, always refer to your vehicle’s logbook.
  • Will using a local mechanic void my new car warranty?
No. Under Australian consumer law, using an independent, qualified mechanic like us for your logbook servicing will not void your new car warranty, as long as the service is performed according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
  • What fluids are checked during a service?
During a service, we check and top up or replace engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, and windscreen washer fluid.
  • Why is an oil change so important?
Engine oil lubricates the moving parts of your engine and prevents them from wearing out. Over time, the oil gets dirty and loses its effectiveness, which can cause significant damage to your engine.
  • Can you service all car makes and models?
Yes, our mechanics have the expertise and equipment to service a wide range of makes and models, including modern vehicles with advanced technology.
  • How will I know what my car needs?
We provide a detailed report after every service that explains the work we’ve done and any future recommendations. We’ll always talk you through everything before starting any repairs. General Service FAQs for European Cars

Yes, we are equipped with the latest diagnostic and mechanical tools specifically designed for brands like Volvo and Volkswagen, allowing us to perform precise and effective servicing.
  • How do your service costs compare to a dealership?
As an independent service provider, we can offer the same high-quality service, with genuine or OEM-quality parts, at a more affordable price than a dealership.
  • Can you work on my car’s complex electrical system? 
Our mechanics are trained to handle the advanced electrical and computer systems found in modern European vehicles, from complex lighting systems to advanced driver-assistance features.
  • Will you only use genuine parts for my European car?
We use high-quality spare parts that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications. This includes genuine parts, as well as trusted aftermarket or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts, giving you options without compromising quality.
  • What are common maintenance items specific to European cars?
We often see issues with timing belts or chains, complex cooling systems, and electrical components. Our services are designed to address these common issues proactively.
