What is a major car service?
It is a detailed and in-depth service that looks at items typically not addressed in a minor or basic service. Major car services are advisable every 30,000km – 45,000km or around every three years, whichever comes first, to give your vehicle a good, thorough going-over both inside and out.
What does a major service include?
When you entrust your vehicle to Auto Masters for a major service, it will include the following:
A high-tech electronic tune up
Fuel system check
Full lube service
Full brake inspection and safety check
Written safety report
Your major service also includes Valvoline engine oil, oil filter checks, and spark plugs and points. Our team treats all models and makes with the utmost care, whether you have a car, a 4X4, or a commercial vehicle.

Auto Masters does not include fuel and air filter, platinum and precious spark plugs in our major services.
Major Service vs Minor Service vs Logbook
A major car service is as detailed above: A comprehensive vehicle inspection to inspect your car’s condition inside and out, recommended every so often to make sure no issues are getting overlooked during regular or minor servicing.
A minor car service is less in-depth and should be performed more often (every 6-12 months depending on use, along with your logbook service, or every 10,000km – 15,000km).
A logbook car service is carried out by qualified staff, according to the car manufacturer’s specifications, to keep your new car warranty intact.

CAR SERVICE - FAQ
What is included in a standard car service?
At Auto Masters we will check your oils and fluids and replace your oil filter and replace engine oil. We will also do a comprehensive 72 point check to test and measure items on your vehicle for safety. You will be provide with a full vehicle condition report. This gives you unbeatable peace of mind; you can drive away knowing everything’s taken care of, right down to the last detail.
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.
Will I be shown what will be done to my car when it is serviced?
Auto Masters’ highly trained mechanics are more than happy to walk you through the work required to service your car. We will also happily show you any parts that have been replaced during a service. There’s no need to worry about repairs taking place without your permission; in the event of the unexpected, we use AutoCAM to communicate exactly what is happening and what needs to be done. This is real-time video reporting sent directly from your technician, including detailed explanations and recommendations. You can see what we see, and can instantly approve via SMS – making servicing your vehicle more efficient, and more transparent.

Why should I bother servicing my car regularly?
There are numerous reasons for getting your vehicle serviced on a regular basis, see our list below: Avoid the possibility of getting stranded out of reach of roadside support. Engine oil, lubricants and other automotive fluids lose their vital properties over time and this can have a knock-on effect causing damage to other components (all of which are checked and refilled as part of our standard service). Loose drive belts, air-conditioning belts and power steering belts suffer from wear over time and lead to poor operation and sometimes damage leading to unwanted costs. You have a legal obligation to ensure your vehicle is roadworthy. Suspension and steering components dramatically improve the comfort of your ride when maintained properly, plus regular checks and or servicing will prolong their life. Brakes, shock absorbers and wheel alignment must be checked regularly to ensure safety. A well maintained engine will reduce emissions and fuel costs. Maintaining consistency of your services by following your logbook regime is likely to add to the resale value of your vehicle.
