Friday 8 July 2022

If you were to make a list of your most important possessions, your car would be close to the top of that list. It’s an essential thing that you use every day - without it, you and your family would struggle immensely.

Consequently, it is your duty to look after your car as best as you possibly can. This starts with something called log book servicing. It’s an essential part of the maintenance process that you cannot avoid or ignore. At All Coast Tyre Solutions, we can provide this service for you whenever you require it. But, what exactly is log book servicing and why is it so important?

Log Book Servicing Explained

Every single vehicle is issued with a log book that’s provided by the manufacturer. This book is designed to keep a log of when your car is serviced. It provides you with details on when you need to bring your vehicle in for a log book servicing. The idea is to take a proactive approach to car maintenance, dealing with minor issues before they become big and costly ones.

You should keep your log book in your glove compartment or a safe place. This will tell you when you need to book your car in for service - but we may be able to find the details if you have misplaced your book.

Typically, our service will include the following:

• Oil changes
• Tyre rotation
• Tyre pressure checks
• Brake light checks
• Engine checks
• Coolant checks
• Transmission fluid checks

And many other checks. Essentially, we look at your car and take a deep dive into every nook and cranny to see if everything is working correctly. If any issues are spotted, our team of experts will provide the necessary repairs or fixes to correct them.

Why Do You Need A Log Book Service?

Put simply, a log book service will help you:

• Keep your car in the best possible condition for longer
• Identify any minor repairs
• Save money by fixing things before they develop into costly issues
• Save money by preventing problems from occurring
• Maintain the optimal performance of your car, improving things like engine efficiency

Log book servicing is proactive, rather than reactive. It is carefully designed by car manufacturers to pinpoint certain common problems cars face during their lifespan. Each service will include tasks that need to be conducted at specific intervals to allow your car to keep working properly. Ultimately, it lets you keep your car for as long as possible, while also avoiding any potentially costly or dangerous issues.

Do You Need To Get A Log Book Service From Your Manufacturer/Dealer?

There is often a lot of confusion surrounding where you can go for a log book service in Australia. Under previous rules, car manufacturers and dealers were the ones that provided this service.

However, it is vital to note that this is no longer the case!

The ACCC has confirmed that an independent garage can sign or stamp the pages in your service log book. Previously, if this was done, it would impact the manufacturer’s warranty. Now, this is not the case and your warranty is still intact.

So, to confirm, you absolutely do not need to visit your dealer or car manufacturer for log book servicing. In fact, it is far better for you to pay us a visit instead!

Why Choose All Coast Tyre Solutions For Log Book Servicing?

Before your next log book service, consider this one thing:

Would you like to enjoy the same service at a much more reasonable price than usual? Main dealers and manufacturers will often hike up their prices for a log book service. Why? Because they want you to think that you’re getting better service by coming to the manufacturer.

This is simply not true at all. All Coast Tyre Solutions has a team of expert mechanics that can provide a comprehensive log book service that meets the required industry standards. All of our mechanics are qualified and experienced, so you can rest assured they know what they are doing.

As a consequence, you get this service at a much better price than you’d see from your car manufacturer. All of our servicing is in line with your manufacturer’s specifications, so your warranty will remain valid!

The bottom line is that your vehicle needs a log book service to keep it in excellent condition. If your car is due for one, get in touch with us today to schedule an appointment.
