A log book service is a comprehensive service that checks your vehicle according to the manufacturer's standards. It follows the guidelines set by the vehicle manufacturer regarding servicing intervals, inspection procedures and replacement parts. It ensures your vehicle is operating safely and efficiently, maintaining your manufacturer’s statutory warranty.

Every passenger car (and most commercials vehicles) should be issued with a “Log Book” by the manufacturer, which lays out the specified timing and agenda for your regular log book services. You should keep your log book in your glove box for reference and recording any details, but Riverland Auto Repairs can also refer to our database to get the required information if you've misplaced your book.

You may be tempted to delay your next log book service because your car is probably still driveable and it may not have reached BOTH the time and distance measures. While you obviously need to find availability in your budget and schedule, don't delay too long because wear and tear on the car will increase exponentially and could lead to damage which is many times more expensive than the log book service would have been.

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.

Examples of what is included in a log book service can vary based on the vehicle make and model, but commonly include:

1. Engine oil and filter change 2. Brake fluid check and top-up 3. Power steering fluid check and top-up 4. Coolant check and top-up 5. Windscreen washer fluid check and top-up 6.
