Having your car regularly serviced is the best way to avoid unnecessary wear and tear, which can lead to damage or more major repairs down the line. It is easier and cheaper to book in before it becomes urgent, though we can certainly help with any repairs as needed.
A minor car service looks at the essentials of vehicle maintenance, acting as a safety check and routine maintenance. You should book a minor car service every 6 – 12 months depending on usage, or every 10,000km.
What does a minor car service include?
Also known as a basic or general service, and often part of the logbook car service or new car service. A minor vehicle service offers a comprehensive set of checks focused on the main components of the car. For example:
Checking brake pads
Checking tyre wear and adjusting tyre pressures
Oil checks (to change engine oil) and oil filter replacement
Checking and replacing wiper blades
Other diagnostic checks across major components
We will provide a full report on your vehicle’s condition. All car service work is carried out by qualified staff, using high quality parts and completed according to manufacturer requirements.
How much does a minor car service cost?
What is included in a minor service, and the cost, tends to vary around Australia. For a fixed quote from your local Auto Masters branch, don’t hesitate to contact us today.
Note: Minor car services are meant to be just that – small routine maintenance. You should also book a major car service every 30,000km or around every three years, whichever arrives sooner. A major vehicle service will address items not typically included in regular servicing, like spark plugs or timing belts.

Petrol Engine Servicing
If your vehicle has a petrol engine, you will want to keep your car regularly serviced to check common trouble-starters like filters and engine oil. If your vehicle is older or you drive in hard conditions, consider coming in every 6 months or every 5,000km.
For service you can rely on, trust our team to be your expert local mechanic. Every Auto Masters Minor Service includes Valvoline oil and an oil filter.
Diesel Engine Servicing
While diesel engine cars, trucks and 4WD vehicles are remarkably durable and cost-effective over time, they can need more TLC to stay that way. Depending how hard you are using the vehicle and how old it is, you will want to service it around the 6 month mark or every 5,000km (whichever comes first) to keep it in tip top shape.
You can trust Auto Masters as your local diesel engine mechanic. Every Auto Masters Diesel Minor Service includes a full lube service and safety check (plus oil and parts).

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.
