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 tire pressure. Finally, it may also include maintaining/replacing oil filters, hoses, belts, tires, 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 tires, 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

Clutch wasn't disengaging on the way home. Starting getting mushy to the touch . Then stopped disengaging at all. Luckily, I was close to home, and managed to run two red lights, and get the parking garage. As soon as I slowed down, it killed the bike. After that I was able to disengage the clutch and walk it. Motor is still running fine. Oil all down the front left of the motor, and a build up of old oil on the base of the shifter. This bike sat unused for years. Hoping it was just old oil in the clutch hydraulics. I have a 2003 Kawasaki ZRX 1200R.

I am looking to purchase a used 2014 Mercedes C300 4Matic Sport sedan from a private seller who says he bought it at auction. I ran the VIN number on Carfax and have a copy of th ereport, but it details a good maintenance history, then 2 years ago it was reported as a total loss by insurance company but the only damage listed was considered "minor" damage to the rear end--it looks mostly to be the Trunk area that was fixed up and replaced and re-sold with the same title (no salvage title). has 107k miles, there's no mechanical issues with it (according to seller) and it seems like a great deal. I just want to make sure there are really no mechanical issues with it.
They were very responsive and more than accomodating with short notice. They really helped me out. I can't thank you enough! Much appreciated!
