Frequently Asked Questions
What does a logbook service involve?
Logbook servicing involves performing a specific set of tasks set out by the manufacturer at certain service intervals. These tasks are outlined in the vehicle manufacturer's logbook, which comes with a new car.
The logbook can usually be located in the dash of your car with your user handbook.
What are the benefits of logbook servicing?
There several benefits to doing regular logbook servicing on your vehicles, including;
- Maintaining your cars warranty. For new car owners that still have warranty, this can be voided without proper logbook servicing
- As this relates to the manufacturer's specifications, you know that the right work is being completed at the right time. This can also help you to avoid any mechanics trying to do unnecessary work
- Your car will be more attractive to prospective buyers if you ever want to sell
- You will have a detailed service history of your vehicle all in the one spot
As you can see, there are many benefits for everyone. This type of servicing becomes even more important when you have a new car.
Do I need to go to a dealer for my logbook service?
Unfortunately, this is a common myth that the car dealerships would like to have you believe. Car dealerships don’t make much money from the car sale—it's the extras and other services where they make a killing.
Generally, dealerships have highly inflated pricing that is much more expensive than your smaller local mechanics. The only reason you would willingly pay a significantly higher price is because of better service, or if you thought you had to.
The dealers want you to continue coming back and pay exorbitant prices, but it’s not necessary. You can generally get a better service elsewhere for a far better price and it does not void your warranty.
Here at Monypenny Mechanical, we can perform every aspect of your logbook servicing. We have complete logbook service information required to comply with your new car warranty. We will give you a report of any warranty issues that need to be addressed and refer you to the dealer to carry out the repairs.
How often do I need to service my car?
It’s important to regularly service your vehicle either every 10,000 kilometers or every 6 months—whichever comes first. Our cars take a beating for us, and they need a little love too.
We offer a range of car servicing options in Cairns to suit your needs. Whether you need a general service, logbook service, or 4WD service, we do the lot.
What is involved in a car service?
Essentially, a service is a regular check-up of your vehicle, which includes an oil and filter change. This is done by one of our qualified mechanics to keep your engine healthy and running in tip-top shape.
During your service, we will also check key things on your vehicle, such as all your lights, wipers, fluids, and tyres. Most importantly, our experienced mechanics will do a thorough safety check on your vehicle. This helps us to identify any issues that require attention either now or in the near future.
Once we have finished our inspection, one of our team members will let you know exactly what's going on with your car and any recommended work that is required to keep you safe. For more info on the importance of servicing your car, check out this article from www.carsguide.com.au.
Do I have to use a dealership to maintain my manufacturer’s warranty?
There is no requirement under law for a vehicle to be serviced by an authorised dealer in order to keep your manufacturer's warranty.
Your local independent automotive service centre (such as Monypenny Mechanical) is able to service your new car and maintain your log book schedule whilst the car is within the manufacturer warranty period.
