The cost of a logbook service varies depending on your car's make, model, and service interval. Regular servicing is essential to keep your vehicle running smoothly, maintain fuel efficiency, and ensure longevity. Below is a general guide to what’s involved at each service stage.
For small cars and daily commuters, a minor service is typically required every 10,000 to 15,000 km. This includes an oil and filter change, fluid top-ups, and a basic safety inspection. Keeping up with minor services helps prevent wear and tear on your engine and ensures your car remains fuel-efficient. Expect to pay between $200 and $400, depending on the brand and type of oil used.
For SUVs, family cars, and performance vehicles, an intermediate service is usually required at 30,000 to 40,000 km. This includes everything in a minor service, along with replacing air and cabin filters, inspecting and adjusting the brakes, and testing the battery. Vehicles with higher performance engines or heavier usage may also need additional checks. Costs typically range between $300 and $600.
A major service is crucial for all vehicles, particularly 4WDs, turbocharged cars, and high-performance models that endure more stress. Performed at around 60,000 km or more, this service includes a full inspection of the engine, suspension, brakes, and transmission. It may also involve replacing spark plugs, fuel filters, and flushing the brake fluid and coolant. For some vehicles, a timing belt or chain inspection is necessary. Depending on the complexity of your car’s engine and parts, a major service can range from $600 to $1,200 or more.
European cars and high-performance vehicles often require specialized fluids and OEM parts, which can increase servicing costs. Additional work such as brake pad replacements or injector cleaning may also add to the total price.
Ensuring your car is serviced on time helps maintain its resale value and keeps it running at peak performance. If you’re unsure about your next service, check your logbook or consult with a qualified technician.
