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.

A mechanic to do a pre-purchase inspection of a 2018 Holden Trax

$180

Gorokan NSW, Australia

4th Mar 2024

I live in Victoria and am looking to buy a 2018 Holden Trax that is for sale and located in Gorokan NSW. I need a person who is a mechanic or otherwise qualified to perform a pre-purchase inspection for me. I have already checked the vehicle's registration and done a PPSR check and it's ticking all the boxes. I would like you to: - Compare the vehicle to the for sale listing and check for any imperfections - Send me 10-15 photos of the vehicle - Sight the roadworthy certificate to make sure it's valid - Complete a visual condition assessment of engine, underbody, exterior, interior and wheels - Run a diagnostic check of engine management system - Do a short road test of vehicle - Give me a call upon conclusion of inspection I would need to put you in touch with the seller of the vehicle to arrange a time for you to inspect. If all goes well, I hope to fly up from Melbourne to pick up the car. I am looking for a fair price and someone who knows what they're doing

Mechanic to replace catalytic converter on Audi Q5 2011

$5

Lisarow NSW, Australia

3rd Mar 2024

Catalytic is leaking on the back plate. Audi has advised I need to replace the catalytic converter assembly front right hand side. It’s an Audi Q5 3.2L FSI quattro S-tronic 2011 model. I don’t have the parts to do this so you would need to supply these. Would prefer a 2nd hand one due to its age and the cost of a new one (although a new one would be fine if the price is within reason). Would prefer it to be done ASAP, but am flexible. Please provide a quote. - Due date: Flexible

Minor Mechanical to fix window regulator/s- Nissan Skyline V35 coupe

$200

North Gosford NSW, Australia

2nd Mar 2024

Mechanic required to fix window regulator ( maybe two) on Nissan Skyline V35 2 Door coupe 2004 import. Initial price of $200.00 is to start the job, it doesn't mean to complete as I know it will cost more. Need a competent mechanic to have a look and either replace the window regulators or alignment tracks that the windows run on. I'll need the work done as I am aiming to sell it soon. It has sat idle in my garage for the last year. Previously I had a contact look at it , who got started on it, pulled somethings apart, but then pretty much gave up and disappeared, so I would assume was not capable of doing the work, even though it seems to be a straight forward job. So with that said, just need a competent mechanic who can get the job done in a timely manner. Of course if you decide not for you, we can just reverse the airtrasker transaction, and no hard feelings. Would be an ideal suit for someone starting up their own business, or wants a few side jobs in future as well, as I have several other mechanical related items that I need to get fixed. Thanks for your time, and look forward to hearing from you.

Great communication, on time, confident mechanic skills at work.
