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

Soooo, I need an 2024 Suzuki Jimny (3880 kms) engine check only down. The car is a write off due to a tree falling on it. However the engine, has not been written off. I need someone to check as much as they can given the car doesn’t move, but does start up. I’m confident the engine is perfectly fine, but just want the added peace of mind. Appreciate by checking it doesn’t guarantee, but I’d much prefer a mechanic to check too. Car is located at a Wreckers in Wollawong 4110, Learoyd Road. I will meet you there as well.
Jamie did a pre purchase inspection on an engine for me. He was early, including being accomodating and flexible with time. Child engine over as much as he could, even tried to help me negotiate with the seller!!! Legend!!!

Hello, I need a mechanic to fix my car, which is currently not starting. It’s located in Sunnybank. The vehicle has an interlock device installed. Both jumpstarting and the interlock system have already been checked, and it seems they are not the issue. Looks like it could be the starter motor as it does not crank at all when I turn the key. Could you please send me your best quote for diagnostics and repair? Car is a 2012 Lancer,auto
Nick was amazing. He really knows what he's doing and charges a fair price. Highly recommend
