What is log book service?

Log Book Servicing is a proactive approach to car maintenance where regular inspections and small fixes keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently to prevent small problems turning into major damage and issues which could otherwise be very costly to repair.

As part of this maintenance approach, manufacturers issue a "Log Book" to every passenger car (and most commercial vehicles), detailing the specific timing and agenda for your regular log book services. You should keep your log book in your glove box for easy reference and recording any necessary details. If you misplace your log book, Tamborine Mountain Auto Clinic can refer to their database to retrieve the required information.

The schedule of the service will be a combination of both time or distance

The schedule for these services is a combination of both time and distance, and it's important not to delay your next service for too long. Although your car may still be driveable and may not have reached both measures, delaying your service could lead to exponential wear and tear that could cause expensive damage down the line.

Each vehicle's log book agenda is unique, with changes made according to the service schedule. Some typical items included in a Log Book Service might include changing oil, checking coolant, examining the car battery, inspecting transmission fluid, brake fluid, and the condition of the air filter, power steering fluid, spark plugs, turn signals, brake lights, and heating system, performing brake, belt, and hose checks, and rotating the tyres.

Here are some examples of what can be included in a typical Log Book Service:

  • Change Oil
  • Check Coolant
  • Check Car Battery
  • Check Transmission Fluid
  • Check Brake Fluid
  • Check the Condition of the Air Filter
