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.

Motorcycle Clutch Cable Replacement+Air Filter Change +General Check

$150

Port Melbourne, Victoria

10th Aug 2025

Hi, I have a Honda NC700S and I believe the clutch cable has snapped (or is about to). The lever feels very loose with no binding point, and when I start the bike, even with the clutch pulled all the way in, shifting into 1st gear causes the engine to stall. The bike is now at my place in Docklands and is not safe to ride. I’m looking for a qualified motorcycle mechanic who can: • Replace the clutch cable (I will provide the new cable) • Replace the air filter (i will provide) • Clean and lubricate the chain • Conduct a general safety/mechanical check on the bike The mechanic must bring all necessary tools to do the job on-site. Preferably, I’d like the job done on-site. Please include in your reply: • Your availability • Your total price (labour only for the clutch cable, plus any labour for the rest) Thanks!

Nicholas was amazing! Hands down for the hard work. Got my bike fixed in no time! Absolute legend🦾🦾 highly recommended, Nicholas was also punctual! Cheers

I want to thank Tyson for his hard work on my car. He came to my house on a Saturday to change the clutch on my Toyota and the job had some complications and was more than expected. However he kept his word and kept the price we agreed on even though he had to come another day to repair what was missing. I recommend him 100% for his professionalism and honesty. The car works perfect now. Very happy.
