The exact inclusions with your auto service will depend on the type of service you need - whether it’s a basic car service, a major car service, repairs, auto electrical work, or something else.
Some popular auto mechanic services you can book through Airtasker include:
Car servicingYour car will likely need servicing every 6-12 months, depending on your maintenance schedule and how your car is used.
Mobile car servicing means your auto service technician will come to your home and work on your driveway or in your garage or carport. During your car service, your mechanic will make sure your headlights, taillights, and indicator lights are working. They’ll replace globes if necessary. They’ll also
change your oil and filters,
complete wheel alignment, and fit replacement parts if needed (including your
wiper blades,
brake pads, and
fan belts). Your mechanic can also offer advice on any further repairs that may be needed. If you’re after a motorbike service, you can hire a specialist motorcycle mechanic to do general and advanced motorcycle services.
Authorised safety checks As your car ages and/or if you want to change or renew your registration, you may need to get a special safety check (depending on your local transport laws). An authorised
pink slip inspection will go through all the checks needed to keep your car registered. Or get a
blue slip inspection if you’d like to change your interstate registration to NSW registration, if you’re buying a vehicle from overseas, or if your registration has expired. Your mechanic will know what kind of safety check you need, and can even provide a
pre-purchase car inspection to help you find out exactly what condition a vehicle is in before you buy it.
Parts installation, repair, and replacementIf you want electronics or mods installed, repair work is done, or replacement parts fitted, an auto service technician can help. They’ll recommend the right parts and brands, install them for you, and advise on maintenance. Common replacements and installations include
battery replacement,
stereo installation, and
windscreen repairs. You can also hire a mechanic for more technical jobs like
engine replacement and repair, as well as
central locking installation.
Car detailingBook an
experienced car detailer to do exterior wax and polish to help your car look its best. Your car detailer may start by washing your car, and finish off with a full interior clean if desired. If you have dents or deep scratches that can’t be buffed out, you’ll need to
hire a panel beater to repair this exterior damage for you.
Vehicle-specific servicesIf you’re a car fanatic or have a brand new car, it’s a good idea to book an auto service mechanic who specialises in your vehicle's make and model to do your auto service for you. All auto services can be done by specialists, including
Audi,
BMW,
Ford,
Holden,
Honda,
Hyundai,
Kia,
Mazda,
Mercedes,
Nissan,
Peugeot,
Subaru,
Volkswagen, and
Toyota.
