FAQs
What is logbook servicing?
Logbook servicing follows the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended schedule and checklist, found in your owner’s logbook. It ensures your car is maintained according to its specific requirements at certain mileage or time intervals. The service includes checks and replacements like oil and filter changes, fluid top-ups, brake inspections, and more—depending on what’s outlined for that service. These services are important not just for performance and safety, but to keep your warranty valid. While some believe only the dealer can perform logbook servicing, any licensed mechanic can carry it out, provided they follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and use quality, approved parts.
Does logbook servicing affect my new car warranty?
No, it doesn’t—as long as the service is performed by a qualified mechanic using the manufacturer’s specifications and approved parts. In Australia, your consumer rights under Australian Consumer Law protect you from being forced to use a dealership for servicing. Independent mechanics can legally complete logbook servicing without voiding your new car warranty. Just ensure they stamp your logbook and provide an itemised invoice showing the work completed matches the manufacturer’s recommendations. Keeping records of regular servicing also helps with resale value, giving future buyers confidence that your vehicle has been well maintained to factory standards.
How often should logbook servicing be done?
Frequency depends on your vehicle make, model and how much you drive, but most manufacturers recommend servicing every 10,000 to 15,000 km or every 6 to 12 months—whichever comes first. Your logbook outlines this schedule in detail. Skipping scheduled services can reduce performance and reliability and may impact your warranty. Even if you don’t reach the kilometre limit, time-based servicing is still important as fluids degrade and parts wear over time. Staying on top of scheduled services helps catch potential issues early, keeps your car safe on the road and maintains long-term value and warranty compliance.
