GENERAL SERVICE vs MANUFACTURER LOGBOOK SERVICE
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
Not sure which service your vehicle needs? Here’s a simple breakdown.
GENERAL SERVICE
A General Service is ideal for regular maintenance between major services or for vehicles that are outside their scheduled manufacturer servicing requirements.
Typically includes:
• Engine oil replacement
• New oil filter
• Fluid level checks and top-ups
• Brake inspection
• Tyre condition, tread and pressure check
• Steering and suspension inspection
• Battery and charging system check
• Drive belt inspection
• Lights, wipers and horn check
• Air/cabin filter inspection
• Cooling system check
• Underbody and exhaust inspection
• Check for oil, coolant and other fluid leaks
• Service reminder reset where applicable
• General safety inspection
• Diagnostic scan where required
MANUFACTURER LOGBOOK SERVICE
A Logbook Service is completed to the specific servicing schedule set out by your vehicle manufacturer based on its age and kilometres travelled. Recommended while vehicle is within warranty period.
It includes the general inspection items above, PLUS any additional maintenance required for that particular service interval.
Depending on the vehicle and scheduled service, this may include:
• Engine oil and filter
• Air filter replacement
• Cabin/pollen filter replacement
• Fuel filter replacement
• Spark plug replacement
• Brake fluid replacement
• Coolant replacement
• Transmission servicing
• Differential or transfer case oils
• Drive belt replacement or inspection
• Manufacturer-specific inspections and adjustments
• Diagnostic scan and service reset
Every vehicle and service interval is different, so we check the manufacturer requirements to ensure the correct items are carried out.
