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

Mechanic/Car Guru Needed – Fuel Line Blockage in Old Ute (Noble Park)
$150
Noble Park, Victoria
28th Aug 2025
We’ve got an old ute sitting in Noble Park that refuses to start. We’re pretty sure the issue is a fuel line blockage, but if it turns out to be something else, that’s still useful info for us. We just need someone with mechanical know-how (or a general car dude who knows their way around older cars) to come out and clear the line, or at least diagnose properly. No stress, no rush – we’re a couple of legends (two Greeks and one Aussie), so happy for you to take your time and do it at your convenience. What we provide: Access to the car (pictured) Cold drinks and good vibes What we need from you: Tools/skills to get the fuel line cleared or check what’s blocking the start Let us know if it’s something else causing the issue Location: Noble Park, VIC Timing: Flexible – whenever suits you Budget: Open to offers – throw us your price

I need a car mechanic to check a second hand car for a RWC
$50
Pakenham VIC 3810, Australia
23rd Apr 2025
To clarify, I don't want to do a full RWC — I just want to check what needs to be done on the car to pass the RWC. I'm looking to buy a 1993 Mitsubishi Pajero, which has some issues, and before I buy it, I want to know how much it would cost to fix those problems and get the RWC done.


He does a great jo. I can definitely recommend him.
