European car service & commercial van service & repairs require the right experience tools & parts. Its great to go to the dealers for the first service but after that it becomes very expensive, with inexperienced young and cheap labour at a premium price tag.

At regular intervals logbook service comes in under $300 with us, or if spark plugs, diesel fuel filters, air filters, cabin AC filters the cost can rise to $500 but no where near crazy dealer prices.Most European cars require brake pads & disc rotors around the 30000km mark. This is the time you want to have a trusted independent mechanic in Sydney that uses either genuine or OEM parts.

Service & repairs of Japanese & Korean cars vans and light trucks is usually time efficient and cost effective compared to European vehicles. We perform major & minor logbook services within a few hours and in many cases the cost is below $250. Without the complications of their european counterparts Lexus, Infinity, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Nissan, Suzuki, & Subaru are designed for relatively straight forward maintenance.

Yes cars have changed so much over the years but the basics remain the same. A typical week for a mechanic at our Rosebery automotive workshop would consist of the following.

Car Service with or without a logbook usually consists of checking over the whole vehicle including testing battery, engine and gearbox mounts, steering rack & wheel bearing free play or noise, we grease steering stops and grease greasing nipples where fitted on universal joints, tail shafts and suspension of 4WD light trucks and vans.

We see it in invoices. We see it parts that have not been changed. Simple air filters charged for and not changed and much worse. It's a sad reality. Your definately better of getting car service and repairs at a local family owned business over the dealerships. That's where we see the worst of it all.
