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

$100
Adelaide, South Australia
19th Nov 2024
This task involves a detailed examination of a used vehicle to assess its mechanical condition and ensure it meets safety and performance standards. The inspection should include the following steps: 1. Exterior and Structural Check: • Inspect the bodywork for signs of rust, dents, or previous repairs (e.g., mismatched paint or uneven panels). • Examine undercarriage and frame for structural damage or previous accidents. 2. Engine and Transmission Inspection: • Check for oil leaks, unusual noises, or signs of wear in the engine bay. • Test the transmission (automatic or manual) for smooth shifting and responsiveness. 3. Brake System: • Evaluate brake pad thickness, rotor condition, and brake fluid levels. • Test the functionality of the braking system, including the emergency brake. 4. Suspension and Steering: • Inspect shock absorbers, struts, and suspension components for damage or wear. • Test steering alignment and response during a short test drive. 5. Electrical System: • Check the battery health, lights, and electronic components such as the infotainment system, power windows, and central locking. 6. Tyres and Wheels: • Inspect tyre tread depth, wear patterns, and overall condition. • Ensure wheels are balanced and free from damage. 7. Road Test: • Conduct a thorough test drive to evaluate engine performance, handling, and potential noises under various conditions. 8. Rego and Roadworthy Certificate Verification: • Ensure the vehicle’s registration (Rego) is current and check for a valid Roadworthy Certificate. 9. Diagnostic Scan: • Use a diagnostic scanner to identify any hidden issues in the car’s electronic systems, such as the engine control unit or airbags.
