Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should I service my car?

    You should service your car every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres or every six months—whichever comes first. Regular servicing is key to maintaining fuel efficiency, engine health, and safety. 


    During a service, your mechanic will inspect components like oil levels, brakes, suspension, and tyre condition. Skipping services can lead to bigger, more expensive issues down the track.

  • What’s included in a logbook service?

    A logbook service follows the schedule recommended by your car’s manufacturer. It includes oil and filter changes, brake inspections, fluid top-ups, tyre checks, and more. The mechanic will also stamp your logbook to confirm the service was completed to manufacturer standards, helping preserve your warranty.

  • Why is my car making a squealing noise?

    A squealing noise often means your brake pads are worn and need replacing, though it could also be related to the drive belt or wheel bearings. It’s important to have any unusual noises checked immediately to avoid damage or safety issues. A qualified mechanic can diagnose the source and advise on repairs.
