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.

Head unit install

$200

Wishart QLD, Australia

3rd Jan 2026

Hi there, I'm in the area of Wishart/Upper Mount Gravatt. I have a 2004 V35 Skyline and I started to remove my old JDM Pioneer head unit and installed a new Kenwood one. The old head unit had a lot of wiring and it had an AV receiver and a bus interface. I also found a soldered ground point in the boot that looks like it was used for the old Pioneer system. I didn’t touch it. I was able to remove half of the wiring and the rest I have tucked for further removal. At the moment, I connected the head unit with Aeropro ISO connectors/ adaptors but am not getting power to the head unit. I was going to start looking for an accessory power feed but have stopped work. I'm not sure if you can give a rough quote but I am looking for the following: 1) Removal of the rest of the old JDM Pioneer wiring as some of it looks wired in and want to clean up as much as possible 2) Getting power to my new head unit, installing the microphone and gps sensor (supplied already) 3) I also have a JDM Pioneer subwoofer I want to install. I'll attach a generic online photo of it. It has a mini amp and wiring and just need help getting power as well. Also wanted to ask, in general how booked out are you and what is the latest appointment times you can do (due to my work times). Weekends would be best. Kind regards
