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!

Will window tinting void my car insurance?

If a vehicle is found to be outside of the tinting regulations then yes, it may void your insurance. An insurance company could look to a breach to avoid paying a claim.There are legalities regarding the visible light transmission (VLT) required on vehicles. In Australia, on passenger vehicles, VLT regulations for windscreens are 70-75%, Front side windows 35% and rear-of-driver windows 20% (15% in NT). These are minimum amounts.

Can car window tint be repaired?

Window tint can be repaired fairly easily, and all you’ll need is water and some patience. You should use the same type of tint as that you are going to replace. Cut around the bad patch of tint and remove it with the aid of water. Clean the window of glue residue and replace the bare patch with new tint, using water to assist in the application. Cut any excess away and, fingers crossed, it should join seamlessly with the older tint. Depending on the damage, it may be best to replace the tint altogether.

Can window tinting be removed?

There are a few ways car window tint can be removed:

1. A steamer can be used to peel away the tint.
2. Soapy water
3. Newspaper and soapy water. (The film should adhere to the newspaper and come away as you remove the newspaper)
4. A hairdryer at its hottest setting

Will car window tinting void my warranty?

A new car warranty doesn’t cover any aftermarket accessories fitted to the vehicle. If you fit an aftermarket part or accessory and it interferes with or damages a component on the vehicle, then that component won’t be covered under warranty. However, if you fit a quality accessory or part and it doesn’t have any adverse effect on the vehicle then it cannot void the car warranty.
