Importance of Regular Car Servicing
Ten reasons why you should have your vehicle serviced every six months.
- A well tuned engine uses less fuel and produces less emmisions.
- Engine oil loses its effectiveness over time. It needs to be replaced regularly to extend engine life.
- Leaking oil or other fluids can cause a costly major breakdown or accident.
- Brakes must be checked and adjusted regularly to ensure roadworthiness and safety.
- All moving parts must be lubricated to avoid unecessary wear and tear.
- Loose belts can cause engine failure and damage.
- Lights must be frequently checked and adjusted for legal and safe operation.
- Tyres should be checked and inflated to correct pressure to extend their life.
- Steering and suspension components should be checked to extend their life.
- Regular servicing, documented in your Log Book enhances the resale value of your vehicle.

New Car Warranty - FAQ
How often should I get my oil changed?
Knowing when to change your oil is tricky because there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Different cars and engines require different maintenance schedules. It also depends on your diving habits and conditions. The new rule (and perhaps the one that makes the most sense) is that you consult your vehicle’s manufacturer recommendations. If in doubt, give your local mechanics at Auto Masters a call and we will advise you.
After how many kms should I get my oil changed?
There are a lot of variables that go into the distance you can travel before changing your oil. Firstly, your vehicle make and model – plus driving habits, conditions on the roads you regularly drive, what kind of oil you used last time. While some might follow the general rule of thumb of getting an oil change every 10,000km – 15,000km, the most accurate way (and the way that makes the most sense) to determine it is by consulting your vehicle’s manufacturer recommendations. If you’re not sure when you need to get your oil changed next, contact your local Auto Masters and our friendly team will advise you.
How long does a car service take?
The time it takes for your car to get serviced varies depending on the vehicle and amount of repairs it needs. However, your local Auto Masters can give you an estimate for how long the service will take; and if anything unexpected pops up that could delay this, our mechanics will keep you in the loop. Why not give us a call – our team are happy to talk you through the process and give you a more specific timeframe for any service.
Does your Logbook servicing protect my new car warranty?
Yes, Auto Masters are fully qualified to service new cars and offer competitive Logbook service prices. Our Logbook service adheres to all manufacturers’ requirements, ensuring your car receives the necessary service and doesn’t void your new car warranty.
Does Auto Masters offer a warranty on work completed?
Auto Masters warrants that there will be no defects in materials or workmanship for: (a) 6 months or 10,000kms, whichever comes first in respect of Tune and Services; and (b) 12 months or 24,000kms, whichever comes first in respect of Brakes. PROVIDED Auto Masters is given the first opportunity to correct the problem by reporting the matter to Auto Masters before any rectification is carried out. Any expenditure incurred without Auto Masters approval will not be recognised. Any Auto Masters facility will, during normal business hours, replace any part supplied and fitted by Auto Masters which has failed and/or readjust those components noted as being defective at any time during the warranty period. This service will be performed at no additional cost to the customer upon presentation of the Auto Masters invoices for the previous work. Some conditions do apply.
