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.

Brake Pads and Rotors Replaced 2005 BMW 120i E87 Hatch MY2005

$500

Hornsby NSW, Australia

26th Feb 2024

Work on BMW 120i E87 MY2005. Refurbish Brakes so I dont have to do it again for 50,000km. I have the Rotors, Brake Pads, Wear Sensors and Brake Fluid. I need someone to replace all of them, bleed the brake lines and reset the brake Service Indicator with an appropriate BMW ODB2 scan / reset tool. It is a car that is rented out on Uber Carshare. The car needs to be picked up from Quakers Hill and driven to your workshop, worked on, and then returned, or worked on by a mobile van on the side of the road. (Wide Road, not busy, plenty of room for a van). I have a few of these rent a cheapie vehicles in various parts of Sydney that need bits and bobs done on them. If you're a mechanical sort of a person, but maybe dont have all the quals, I'm good with that and we can have a chat. You need to provide all jacks, tools, power, water and disposal.

Quick, Efficient and on Time. Good value for money. Will definately use again.

Assisting us with mechanic work

$5

Roseville Chase NSW, Australia

13th Feb 2024

We're a small workshop that focuses on fixing up and restoring older cars, mostly from the 70's and 80's (though some are a bit newer). I was wondering if you would like to do some mechanical work for us when you're not busy on other projects. It works well for a couple of other mobile mechanics we use and they fit us into days when they don't have other work or want to do something different. The other mechanics charge $50 and $70 per hour as they like this work and it suits them, but I'm happy to discuss rate with you.
