A log book service is a scheduled service carried out according to the maintenance requirements specified by your vehicle manufacturer.

Depending on your vehicle's age, kilometres travelled and servicing interval, this can include changing engine oil and filters, checking fluids, inspecting brakes, steering and suspension components, checking belts and hoses and completing other manufacturer-specified maintenance.

The recommended interval varies between manufacturers and models. Your vehicle may require servicing after a certain number of kilometres, a set period of time, or whichever comes first.

Following the recommended schedule helps ensure important maintenance isn't overlooked simply because you haven't driven many kilometres.

Generally, no. You can choose a qualified independent mechanic to carry out your vehicle's scheduled servicing.

At Active Motor Repairs, we follow the relevant manufacturer's servicing specifications and use appropriate quality parts, fluids and lubricants when completing log book servicing.

Always check the specific terms of any additional or extended warranty or servicing plan you have purchased, as these may have separate conditions.

Depending on the vehicle, service records may be physical or electronic.

The exact work depends on the manufacturer's schedule for your particular vehicle and service interval.

Rather than providing exactly the same service every visit, we follow the scheduled requirements for your vehicle. Different intervals may require additional inspections, fluid changes, filters, spark plugs or other maintenance items.

Not necessarily.

A log book service follows the specific maintenance schedule provided by your vehicle manufacturer. A general service may involve routine maintenance such as replacing engine oil and the oil filter and inspecting key vehicle components, but it may not necessarily correspond with a particular manufacturer service interval.

If you're unsure which service your vehicle needs, speak with our team and we can help determine the appropriate option.

If your vehicle is overdue, it's best to arrange a service as soon as practical rather than waiting until the next scheduled interval.

Delayed servicing can mean worn components, deteriorated fluids or other maintenance issues go unnoticed for longer. Let our team know that the vehicle is overdue and we can assess its servicing requirements.

A complete service history can be valuable when it comes time to sell or trade your vehicle.

Being able to demonstrate that your car has received regular scheduled maintenance can provide prospective buyers with additional information about how the vehicle has been cared for.
