Servicing That Doesn’t Void Warranties
If you’ve bought a new vehicle from a dealership, you’re probably all-to-aware of the uncertainty around warranties.
A salesman will often insinuate that all servicing needs to be carried out by their mechanics – often at a highly inflated price – or you risk voiding the warranty.
This has been industry practice for years, leaving consumers unsure of what to do and resulting in more expensive maintenance.
The reality is, as long as your vehicle is serviced by a licensed mechanic according to the logbook requirements, your warranty will be valid.
Just ensure you meet servicing timelines and that your chosen mechanic stamps your logbook.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a logbook service typically include?
A logbook service is a comprehensive form of vehicle maintenance that adheres to the manufacturer’s specifications. It typically includes checking and replacing fluids, inspecting the engine and other critical components, testing the brakes and exhaust systems and ensuring the vehicle’s safety features are functioning correctly. The service may vary depending on the vehicle’s make, model and age. It aims to maintain the car in its peak condition, ensuring all parts operate as intended by the manufacturer.
How often should I book a logbook service for my car?
The frequency of logbook services depends on the manufacturer’s recommendations, which are usually outlined in the vehicle’s logbook. Typically, a logbook service is required every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres or every six to twelve months, whichever comes first. However, these intervals can vary, so it’s essential to consult your vehicle’s logbook or a licensed mechanic to understand the specific requirements for your car.
How does a logbook service differ from a regular service?
A logbook service is designed to the specifications set out by the vehicle’s manufacturer, ensuring the vehicle maintains its warranty and operates as efficiently as possible. It involves detailed checks and specific replacements that align with the manufacturer’s guidelines. In contrast, regular service may not adhere strictly to these specifications and can be more general, focusing on essential maintenance and repairs without following the manufacturer’s detailed service plan.
What is a logbook service and why is it important for my vehicle?
A logbook service represents a detailed maintenance plan provided by the vehicle’s manufacturer. It specifies the exact maintenance tasks that need to be completed at set intervals to keep the car in prime condition. Adhering to this schedule is important for preserving the vehicle’s warranty; neglecting to follow these guidelines can lead to the warranty being invalidated. Additionally, regular logbook servicing is important for prolonging a vehicle’s life and reliability, improving fuel efficiency and ensuring safety by preemptively tackling potential problems before they become major issues.
