What does a mechanic service usually include?
Mechanics are skilled in nearly all aspects of keeping your car maintained, serviced, and repaired, so it’s roadworthy and efficient to run. The exact process during your service will depend on how your mechanic prefers to work and the type of tasks they’re doing, like:
Minor service
This is the most basic engine service a mechanic provides, but it can make a huge difference in whether or not your car can operate efficiently. A minor service usually alternates with a major service, at around the 6-month mark. A mechanic near you can do minor services because your mechanic only needs a flat service to get the job done. They’ll unscrew the sump plug, allowing old oil to drain from your car. Then they’ll remove the old oil filter and replace with a new one that’s the right size for your vehicle. Your mechanic will dispose of your old filter and oil. They’ll also inspect other key components, like your battery, lights, air filters, and other fluids.
Log book servicing / major service
A major service or log book service involves a series of steps in line with your vehicle manufacturer’s service manual. It’ll include a combination of major and minor services, depending on the age of your car, or how many kilometres it’s travelled. Your service may include testing your lights, brakes, and battery. Then checking fluid levels, windscreen wipers, windows, mirrors, steering, suspension, radiator, fan belts, and tyre pressure. Finally, it may also include maintaining/replacing oil filters, hoses, belts, tyres, and wheel alignment. Your mechanic will finish off by stamping your logbook to record the services completed, which can help maintain your car’s resale value.
Roadworthy certificate or pink slip
A roadworthy certificate or pink slip is a specific vehicle check that’s conducted to ensure your car is in a roadworthy condition and can be operated safely. In some states, it’s required when selling a car or may be required each year to confirm your vehicle is safe for registration purposes. A mechanic will check off a list of predetermined items to verify that your car meets a minimum safety standard set out by your state government. They’ll focus on safety, checking things like tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, rust or damage, seatbelts, windows, lights, and your windscreen.
Major and minor repairs
Sometimes your car might need a little extra attention if you’ve had an accident, broken down, or your drive feels a bit different to normal. A car mechanic can perform minor and major repairs on most vehicles. They’ll use diagnostic equipment to locate the issue and decide on a course of action to get your car back on the road. If they don’t have the necessary spare parts, they may need to order them to finish off your repair and replace any faulty parts. Note that a mechanic service is usually limited to your car’s engine and electrics. It’s best to speak to a panel beater if you also have external body damage.Â

Oil Cooler Replacement on a Mercedes Benz C200 2010 W204
$400
Box Hill South VIC 3128, Australia
3rd May 2025
Oil cooler replacement on a Mercedes Benz C200 Petrol Turbo Wagon 2010 W204 model. I have the new oil cooler part. At this stage my car does not seem to have any coolant that has mixed in the engine oil system, only a slight oil leak from the oil cooler seals. This job requires removal of the air filter box and air intake manifold on passenger side of the engine - accessible via the top of the engine, then the removal of the starter motor best accessed via underneath the car. Here is an 18 minute, highly informative YouTube video of an American guy replacing the oil filter on a 2015 C250 model Mercedes Benz - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SYPB7i2VbY - the engine configuration and oil cooler parts are identical for my C200, so this video is a perfect mechanical guide of what the job requires and the tools involved. This mechanic did the job in 4.5 to 5 hours. After finishing the job, he topped up the coolant levels. I have a single car garage at my place if the job needs to be done at my place, or can deliver to mechanic garage
