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.

Skilled mechanic for rethreading

$200

Doncaster VIC, Australia

16th Apr 2024

I require the expertise of a skilled mechanic to address an issue with my 2015 Mercedes CLA45. The threading on the differential screw has been over-tightened, which now prevents the screw from properly moving in or out. This necessitates a rethreading of the screw and possibly replacing the transmission oil, for which I will provide the replacement. The necessary replacement parts have already been purchased from an authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer. Your assistance in resolving this mechanical fault would be greatly appreciated, ensuring that the vehicle returns to its optimal performance.

Assistance is required to change my brake pads. I don’t have a clue what I’m doing when it comes to cars. I already have the correct brake pads and require someone knowledgeable who can assist in changing them over as they’re starting to make a noise. The car is a 2014 Holden Cruze. I have both front and back brakes that require changing. I don’t think this should take more than an hour.

Great job. Well done Scott!

Help me rewire my head unit and fix my reverse camera

$200

Camberwell VIC, Australia

2nd Mar 2024

Hello. I have attempted to install and wire my new head unit and reverse camera into my 2011 Kia Rio, but unfortunately messed up at some point and the system isn't turning on. I have already routed the cables through to the back of the reverse light, but when trying to connect the reverse camera to the head unit's power source I seem to have broken the connection. I need someone who can help me in fixing the connections between the head unit and power source, then the reverse light to the head unit and power source making sure the head unit and camera both work. The head unit is a Sony XAV-AX5000.

David was friendly, professional, and did the job to a high standard. Highly recommend his service, no complaints at all.
