Owning a vehicle is one of the most expensive material objects that people own, and a large component of vehicle ownership is maintenance, repairs and servicing.

For vehicles that are still under warranty, you may choose to get your vehicle serviced at any qualified mechanical repair facility that you choose.

What is a Log Book Service?

The most straightforward explanation of a log book service is simply an inspection, repair or part replacement, carried out at intervals specified by your vehicle manufacturer.

Typically, log book services specify either a time period or odometer reading so that the inspection periods align with when vital components must be checked, oil changes performed, and certain parts replaced.

A large reason for Log Book servicing is that many of the wear items, fluids and components are checked as part of preventative maintenance, that is, to avoid bigger issues down the road.

Benefits of a Log Book Service

A benefit of having your vehicle log book service is that all your maintenance, regardless of how mundane, is kept track of in one central location, either digitally or in a physical book kept with the vehicle.

Another benefit of full servicing is when it comes time to sell your vehicle, or trade it in. A full service history (even if it’s not log book servicing) is a valuable addition to your vehicle, and provides peace of mind for a buyer in the private market, and you’re likely to get just a little bit sweeter deal if you trade your vehicle in at a dealership.

Who can perform Log Book Servicing?

In Australia, the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) has determined that consumers have the freedom to choose to get their vehicle serviced at any registered workshop.

Regardless of where you get your vehicle log book service, you will hold onto your original warranty.

Midas Narre Warren is your locally owned and operated Authorised Service Centre. We have experience working on passenger vehicles, 4WDs, SUVs, performance vehicles and more, and our workshop uses both genuine and high-quality aftermarket replacement parts.

It’s important to note that some extended warranties offered on top of your vehicle's standard warranty often include terms and conditions stating you must have your vehicle serviced at a particular provider.

How Much Does a Log Book Service Cost?

Log Book Servicing pricing really depends on what parts and checks are included in that particular scheduled service.

While some Log Book Services are merely an oil change and oil filter, other services may involve more in-depth checks or part replacements.
