Frequently Asked Questions

Ask a Question

What’s the difference between general and logbook servicing?

General servicing covers essential maintenance such as oil changes, filter replacements and safety checks, and is tailored to a vehicle’s current condition. Logbook servicing follows the manufacturer’s schedule and specifications, ensuring all checks are done at set intervals to maintain warranty compliance. While general servicing focuses on immediate vehicle needs, logbook servicing is more structured and includes detailed inspections based on mileage or time. Both types of servicing aim to ensure roadworthiness, prevent mechanical failure and extend the life of a vehicle, though logbook servicing is more critical for newer cars under warranty.
How often should I service my car?

Most vehicles should be serviced every six months or 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. However, service intervals can vary depending on the car’s age, usage and manufacturer recommendations. Vehicles used for heavy towing, off-road driving or frequent short trips may require more frequent maintenance. Regular servicing helps ensure optimal engine performance, improves fuel efficiency and reduces the likelihood of breakdowns. Refer to the vehicle’s logbook or owner’s manual for specific servicing requirements. Skipping services can affect long-term reliability, performance and resale value, even if the car appears to be running well.
Do I need to go to the dealership to maintain my warranty?

No, logbook servicing does not have to be completed at a dealership. As long as the service is carried out by a qualified mechanic using appropriate parts and following the manufacturer’s specifications, the vehicle’s warranty remains valid. Independent workshops can legally perform logbook servicing and stamp the service logbook, provided all tasks are completed in line with the vehicle’s service schedule. Choosing a non-dealership service provider can be a cost-effective and convenient option without compromising the car’s warranty or performance. Always ensure the service provider understands the vehicle’s specific logbook requirements.
Why is regular car servicing important?

Regular servicing helps identify potential issues before they become serious problems. It maintains engine health, ensures critical systems like brakes and steering function correctly and keeps the vehicle safe and roadworthy. Proper maintenance also improves fuel economy, reduces emissions and helps retain resale value. Over time, wear and tear can affect performance, even if the vehicle seems to be running fine. Servicing ensures all components are checked and maintained according to schedule. Neglecting routine maintenance can lead to costly repairs, breakdowns and reduced vehicle lifespan, making regular servicing a smart long-term investment.
