Have more questions about log book servicing in Deniliquin?
Keeping up with your vehicle’s log book servicing is one of the best ways to protect your investment, maintain performance, and help avoid costly repairs down the track
What is a log book service?
A log book service is a manufacturer-scheduled service completed at specific time or kilometre intervals. Your vehicle’s log book outlines exactly what inspections, adjustments, and replacements should be carried out to keep your car operating safely and efficiently.
Do I have to service my car at the dealership to keep my warranty?
No. Australian law allows you to choose a qualified independent workshop for log book servicing without voiding your new car warranty, provided the service is completed according to manufacturer specifications using quality parts and fluids. RPM Automotive follows manufacturer servicing requirements to help protect your warranty.
What happens during a log book service?
Each service varies depending on your vehicle make, model, and mileage. A log book service may include:
- Engine oil and filter replacement
- Brake inspection
- Steering and suspension checks
- Battery testing
- Fluid top-ups and replacements
- Tyre inspection and pressure checks
- Safety inspections
- Diagnostic scanning
Our technicians follow the manufacturer’s recommended schedule for your specific vehicle.
How often should I book a log book service?
Most vehicles require servicing every 10,000–15,000 kilometres or every 6–12 months, whichever comes first. Always check your owner’s handbook for the correct intervals.
Is log book servicing only for new cars?
No. Log book servicing is most commonly associated with new vehicles under warranty, but many owners continue following the manufacturer schedule long after the warranty period ends to maintain reliability and resale value
Does a log book service help resale value?
Yes. A properly maintained service history can improve buyer confidence and help support your vehicle’s resale value. Many buyers specifically look for vehicles with consistent servicing records and stamped log books
Can you service all vehicle makes and models?
Yes. RPM Automotive services all makes and models, including petrol, diesel, 4WD, commercial fleet, and European vehicles.
What if I’ve missed a scheduled service?
Missing a service doesn’t necessarily mean disaster, but it’s important to have your vehicle checked as soon as possible. Delayed servicing can lead to increased wear, reduced fuel economy, and possible warranty complications.
Are genuine parts used during servicing?
We use quality parts and lubricants that meet or exceed manufacturer standards to ensure reliability and warranty compliance.
What’s the difference between a basic service and a log book service?
A basic service generally covers essential maintenance items like oil and filter changes, while a log book service follows a manufacturer-specific checklist with scheduled inspections and component replacements.
Can you stamp my log book?
Yes. Once your scheduled service is completed according to manufacturer requirements, we can stamp and update your log book records.
How do I know when my next service is due?
Your next service interval is usually listed in your log book, dashboard reminder system, or owner’s manual. If you’re unsure, our team can help you determine the correct schedule for your vehicle.
