What is a log book service?

Regular inspections and minor repairs performed through Log Book Servicing can help save you money by avoiding costly repairs of major damages. This approach keeps your vehicle in good running condition and prevents small issues from escalating into expensive repairs.

Manufacturers should provide each passenger car (and most commercial vehicles) with a "Log Book," detailing the schedule for routine maintenance. It is suggested to store the log book in the glove box for easy access, but Forrestfield Mechanical can always look up the relevant information if the book has been misplaced and if you are a regular customer we will have those details on file.

The schedule of the service will be a combination of both time or distance.

Temptation may lead you to put off your car's next log book service since it still runs fine and you haven't reached both the time and distance markers yet. We understand that you need to consider your financial capacity and timing, but don't hesitate too long because neglecting to get a service could exponentially wear out your vehicle and eventually cause much more expensive damage.

What's included?

Every car is different and the agenda for each service changes according to the schedule, which is why each vehicle is issued with a log book.

Here are some examples of what can be included:

  • Change Oil
  • Check Coolant
  • Check Car Battery
  • Check Transmission Fluid
  • Check Brake Fluid
  • Check the Condition of the Air Filter
  • Check Power Steering Fluid
  • Check Spark Plugs
  • Check Turn Signals
  • Check Brake Lights
  • Check Heating System
  • Brake Check
  • Belt Check
  • Hose Check
  • Tyre Rotation
