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

Pre-Purchase Inspection for 2017 Kia Cerato ​I'm looking for a reliable and experienced mechanic to arrange a pre-purchase inspection of a 2017 Kia Cerato Auto with 84,000kms. ​The goal is to provide a detailed, unbiased report on the vehicle's condition. ​The mechanic must inspect and report on the following: ​Engine & Transmission: Check for any leaks (oil, coolant), listen for unusual noises, and confirm that the transmission shifts smoothly and correctly. ​Brakes: Inspect the condition of the brake pads and rotors, and check the brake fluid level. ​Suspension & Steering: Look for worn components like shocks, struts, and bushings, and check for any play in the steering. ​Body & Exterior: Examine the car's body for any signs of previous accident damage, rust, or dents. Check for consistent paintwork and panel gaps. ​Tyres: Measure the tread depth and check for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues. ​Electrical Systems: Confirm that all lights (interior and exterior), air conditioning, power windows, and other electronics are in working order. ​Road Test: The mechanic must perform a road test to assess the car’s overall performance, handling, and to listen for any abnormal sounds or vibrations. Check service history. Flag any issues. Vehicle is in Hawker ACT. Inspection and report by tomorrow.


Fantastic service!! Thanks so much for the pre purchase inspection. Saved us buying a lemon car. Will use again.

Hi, I need a mechanic to come and assist with a couple of smaller jobs. This post is for a site visit. 1. Kia sedan door opening cord doesn't work. Have the replacement and clips but my friend who was going to fix it is unable to manhandle whatever component is needed to replace. 2. Bought a trailer with one of those manual hand break things. I think that the hand break is loose as its a bit floppy. Need a mechanic to come over and fix these items and maybe check the trailer over to fix or advise on other repairs. This post is for a site visit.

I have a 2012 VW GTI and looking to replace the old (original) head unit with a GT Zone MK6 and compatible GT Zone reverse camera (see pics). The head unit should be a simple plug and play but the wiring for the reverse camera will need to be fitted properly with their 6m cable provided.


Very helpful and easy going guy - fully capable and a very easy transaction. He did a high quality job of installing my reverse camera on my GTI in an efficient and professional manner.
