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.

Need mobile auto electrical mechanic

$10

Travancore VIC 3032, Australia

15th Feb 2026

Need someone handy with cars to come find and fix the problem that has caused my brake light to stop working. I've checked the bulbs and fuses and they all seem to be working fine. Had RACV come out and they said that it's more than likely the brake sensor on the brake pedal. The hazards and park light on the back of the car still work. Make/Model is Holden Barina spark 2012. Would be great if someone has brake light sensor and can come fit it after hours, if not anytime tomorrow will be fine. Price I've put down is only an estimate and I will happily increase if needed. Thank you 😃

Install a new head unit in my car

$250

Windsor VIC 3181, Australia

4th Feb 2026

I have a 2013 Alfa Romeo Giulietta. I need to replace the head unit. Unfortunately this model has a bespoke design and fascia. I've spent a lot of time looking into my options on various alfa forums and the option that is quite common is to install a 8.9 inch single din floating screen. This doesn't require cutting the fascia but does require a new mounting bracket and wiring adaptor. Luckily some people have put together a brief how to guide which I can provide. I can also provide the head unit, bracket, and wiring adaptor. I don't however have any installation skills or knowledge. I've put some photos up to show the current set up and a completed install.
