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.

Mechanic to check out a potential new car

$200

Brighton East VIC, Australia

11th Mar 2025

I am thinking of purchasing a second hand car from Facebook marketplace but I need a Mechanic to check over the car before I feel comfortable purchasing. Would require something to go out to the car and check it out. The car is located in Brighton East and is a 2017 Volkswagen Golf TSI. The car has a full service history and its mileage is 119,000km I would love if someone was able to go out and check the car over to make sure it’s in good working condition, as well as test drive it and perhaps try get a good price for the car. Thanks!

Absolutely fantastic experience with Adam and his wonderful partner. They both went above and beyond before, during and after my pre-inspection for a car I was hoping to purchase and definitely saved me a huge amount of money down the line! Will definitely be using their services again as they were thorough, great communication and extremely efficient and knowledgeable. Thank you both again!

Mechanic Replace clutch master cylinder mx5 2001

$100

Chelsea VIC 3196, Australia

1st Feb 2025

Have a clutch master cylinder that I thought I’d be able to install on my car but unbolting the hard line from the original has proven to be difficult / impossible with the tools I have. Can’t go drive to get more tools because my car won’t go into gear as the clutch master cylinder appears to be dead. I’ve got the OEM part ready to be installed just can’t get the old one out. There’s one hard line one bolt attached to the fire wall and one bolt attached to the fire wall you need to get under the car for. I live in an apartment so it’ll be working in an apartment complex I’ve got jacks. Also need the clutch bled after installation - I’ve got DOT4 fluid and a bleeder kit.

Excellent my car is like new. Thanks so much. Amazing service thank you
