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.

$300

Windsor VIC, Australia

15th Apr 2026

Need experienced mechanic service 2 cars – must follow exact oil change method. Oil and filters Supplied Description: Looking for someone to do an oil and filter service on 2 cars. This is not just a normal quick oil change. I want the job done exactly to a specific method step by step, so I need someone who is careful, patient, mechanically minded, and happy to follow instructions properly. Please only apply if you’re confident doing the below exactly as requested: Required oil change procedure: 1. Start with the engine completely cold. 2. Add about 1 litre / 1 quart of fresh oil to the existing oil as a pre-flush. 3. Start engine and let it idle for exactly 5 minutes. 4. Turn engine off and wait 10 minutes. 5. Then drive the car 10–15 minutes to full operating temperature. 6. Park on level ground, let it idle 2 more minutes, then drain the oil immediately while hot. 7. After the first drain, leave it for 30 minutes, then remove the drain plug again and do a second drain. 8. Fit new oil filter, but pre-fill the filter to about 60–70% with fresh oil first. 9. Apply a thin film of oil to the rubber gasket and hand tighten only. 10. Refill engine slowly with about 80% of oil capacity first. 11. Wait 5 minutes, then top up slowly in small amounts, checking the dipstick each time. 12. Final oil level should be around halfway between low and full, not overfilled. 13. After refilling, do not start the engine straight away. 14. Turn ignition on without starting, wait 10 seconds, then turn it off. 15. Repeat that 3 times. 16. Then start engine and let it idle for exactly 3 minutes without touching the accelerator. 17. Check for oil leaks around drain plug and filter. 18. Turn engine off, wait 2 minutes, then re-check oil level and top up if needed.
