Frequently Asked Questions

Is the price quoted, the price I will pay?

Yes, the price quoted is the price you’ll pay. You won’t pay a cent more and you’ll get exactly what’s listed in the inclusions.

And don’t worry, if there’s any additional work required, the mechanic will contact you and get your consent prior to starting.

Can I change my service date?

Sure, we get that things pop up. Just call our friendly team on 1300 655 661 and we’ll happily reschedule your booking.

There's no fee to reschedule your booking, however, if you’ve prepaid upfront on credit card, PayPal Afterpay or Zip and wish to cancel your booking altogether, you will be refunded the original booking fee paid, minus a $20 cancellation fee.

Should you fail to show up at the time and place arranged with the Workshop without canceling in advance, you will forfeit the entire prepaid amount.

For full details view our terms and conditions.

Does the price include parts and labour?

For all servicing and repairs, our pricing includes parts, labour and GST.

For inspection and diagnostic jobs, our pricing includes labour and GST but does not include parts.

Is there a loan car available?

Some of our workshops do offer a loan car and/or a drop off/pick up service (up to 5km from the workshop).

If the workshop is a Preferred Partner, these extras will be listed on the right hand side, underneath their pricing.

If the workshop is not a Preferred Partner, click the ‘Book Now’ button and then click the ‘Add a Roadworthy, Pink Slip or other common tasks’ text underneath the inclusions box at the top of the page.

Any additional services offered by the workshop will be included in this section.

What's the difference between a basic service and a logbook service?

A basic service includes engine oil and engine oil filter change, as well as a general safety inspection and inspection of all fluids.

If minor quantities of other fluids are required, the mechanic will top these up.

A logbook service is a series of scheduled tasks recommended by the vehicle manufacturer at certain time intervals. Every logbook service is different. See the list of Service Tasks at the top of the booking confirmation page.

Will the mechanic stamp my logbook?

Absolutely, the mechanic will sign and stamp your logbook to meet manufacturer requirements.

They will sign off each task as it’s finished, and only stamp your logbook once all tasks specified by the manufacturer have been completed.

Will my warranty be affected if I book with one of your mechanics rather than the dealership?

The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) states that any certified mechanical workshop or mobile mechanic is indeed qualified to carry out logbook servicing as per manufacturer’s specifications, without voiding your New Car Manufacturers Warranty.

Our mechanics are able to carry out logbook servicing, according to the manufacturer’s specifications, using quality parts and lubricants.

The mechanic will sign off each item and stamp your logbook once all tasks are completed and your manufacturer's warranty will remain intact.

Do you have questions?

Here's what everyone else is asking!

How long will a clutch last?

Clutches do a lot of work and are designed to be rugged and long-lasting. However, its lifespan will depend on a number of factors, including the output of the vehicle engine, whether you do a lot of towing or are often in heavy start-stop traffic, the vehicle you own and, of course, your style of driving.

Should I press the clutch down while braking?

Not really. Most of the time, you’re best off stepping on the brake and only using the clutch when changing down through the gears. As the brakes slow the car, the engine slows down too (you’re not using the accelerator, after all) and begins to slow the car’s forward momentum. Emergency braking may see the need to slam on both the brake and clutch pedal, to avoid stalling the car.

What is clutch fluid?

Clutch fluid allows the clutch to be engaged. It flows from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder and then, when the clutch pedal is depressed, applies pressure to engage and move the clutch.

How often should I change my clutch fluid?

Clutch fluid will break down over time and should be replaced every two years or 40,000km. If the clutch sees heavy use, then this may be more frequent. Keep alert to the signs that replacement is near:

spongy feel to the clutch pedal
gears grinding when the clutch pedal is depressed
clutch fluid feels gritty when rubbed between your fingers
clutch fluid is milky, dark brown, or black

How much will it cost to replace a clutch?

For a small car, costs can range from $500 to $1200, but for larger cars and SUVs you could be looking at $800 to more than $2000 depending on the make and model of the vehicle. This can depend on whether the flywheel and other components need to be replaced as well.
