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 manufacturers logbook which comes with a car from new. The logbook can usually be located in the dash of your car with your user handbook. For more information about servicing in general, check out our page on car and 4WD servicing.

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 manufacturers 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.

Don’t 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, its 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 a 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.
