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.

Hi, I need to buy a Mitsubishi triton from 2021 from a dealer. I’m still negotiating on the price, and it might be this one in Berwick or another one from a different dealer way closer. If they agree on the price I want to pay I want to see it with an expert to check that the car is in crystal cinditions.

Mechanical inspection of car before purchase
$220
Mount Waverley VIC, Australia
16th Jun 2025
I'm looking for a mechanics opinion of a 2008 Lexus RX400h private sale. The car has done 160,000kms and has a full service history. I have three main concerns: 1) I noticed slight shuddering through car when travelling over 70kph. I assumed tyres / alignment, but apparently this was done for roadworthy! I didn't notice any bearing whine etc either. 2) I am unsure if the timing belt has been replaced. Car has done 160.000kms so it would be due! 3) I am curious about the health of the hybrid battery in the car, and its likely longevity

Mechanic - Fix & Roadworthy - 1997 LandCruiser Prado
$200
Endeavour Hills, Victoria
15th Jan 2025
Hey, Preparing to sell my 1997 LandCruiser Prado (Dual fuel, LPG and Petrol) and looking for a mechanic to complete the below: 1. Current issue with slow/delayed acceleration from idle has been occuring for 2 weeks. Inspect and quote/fix. 2. Basic service. 3. Inspect vehicle and note any items that would need to be rectified before it is Roadworthy. Car has 388,000km on the clock. It last had a Roadworthy in October 2020 and I have kept up with fairly regular services and fixes of some issues, I am sure there will be a number of items to resolve. I am trying to decide whether to sell the car as-is or get it fixed first. I can provide receipts from all work done since 2020 if that helps. Car drives well overall and had no issues with it since it's service last year, aside from the acceleration mentioned above.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
