What does a major service include?
A major service brings together routine servicing and the additional maintenance due for your particular car. The right work depends on its make, engine, age, kilometres, service history and manufacturer schedule. We confirm the parts and labour in your quote, so you know which replacements are included.
Routine service foundation
Oil, filter and essential checks
- Engine oil and oil filter replacement using the specification agreed for your vehicle
- Accessible fluid levels and condition checked; suitable top-ups discussed
- Brake and tyre condition, visible leaks and safety concerns assessed
- Battery, charging system, lights and wipers checked
When due · Itemised in your quote
Scheduled replacements
- Engine air and cabin filters
- Fuel filter where applicable to the vehicle and schedule
- Spark plugs on petrol engines when due
- Brake fluid, coolant or driveline fluids when scheduled
- Drive belts or other worn components where replacement is required

Advice you can act on

- Urgent faults separated from upcoming maintenance
- Relevant checks after the agreed work
- Invoice and service record details for the work completed
Pricing: general servicing starts from $275. A major service is quoted for the specific vehicle and the work due; it is not a universal $275 package. Filters beyond the oil filter, spark plugs, belts, fluid replacements and repairs are included only when listed in your agreed quote.
General, major or logbook service?
General service: routine oil and filter maintenance with key vehicle checks.
Major service: a broader maintenance visit that includes the additional items due or identified for your vehicle, as quoted.
Logbook service: work planned against the manufacturer’s schedule for the vehicle’s age and kilometres. Some logbook intervals involve major maintenance; others are smaller visits.
Send a photo of the relevant service-book page if you are unsure. We can discuss what is due without adding unnecessary replacements. Learn more about our logbook servicing.
Why 4WD servicing needs the vehicle details
A diesel 4WD used for towing or dusty roads can have different maintenance requirements from a petrol car used mainly around town. Tell us about towing, off-road use, modifications and any recent repairs.
We discuss fuel filtration, belt condition and any scheduled transmission, transfer-case or differential maintenance that is relevant to your model. These items are assessed and quoted individually; they are not automatically required at every visit.
Some work needs a hoist or specialist equipment. We explain those limits before booking. See our 4WD service and repair information.
A real recent job
2017 Toyota Hilux: service and repairs in one visit
During this Hilux visit, we replaced the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, fuel filter and a worn drive belt. The job also included an inspection, headlight upgrades, damaged-wiring repairs and door-handle work.
The photos explain the work completed on this particular vehicle. Its scope is an example, rather than a fixed list of replacements for every major service.
How your mobile service works
- Send the vehicle details: make, model, year, engine, kilometres, service history and suburb.
- Agree the scope: we confirm the scheduled work, parts, price and suitable appointment.
- Prepare the location: provide keys and safe, level access at your home or workplace.
- Review any findings: extra repairs need your approval before they proceed.
- Keep the records: retain the invoice and service information with the car’s maintenance history.
Based in Reservoir, we attend Preston and selected Melbourne suburbs. Hours are 7:30 am–9:00 pm, seven days. Same-day appointments depend on routing, parts and availability.
Major service questions
How often is a major service needed?
Follow the schedule for your exact model, engine, age and kilometres. There is no single interval that applies to every car. Previous maintenance and severe-use requirements can also affect what is due.
Are all filters and fluids changed every time?
No. The quote identifies the replacements required for your vehicle. For example, a fuel filter may not be a scheduled replacement on every petrol model, and driveline fluids have their own requirements.
What if you find a fault during the service?
We explain what we found and discuss the next step. Diagnosis and repairs outside the agreed service are quoted separately. Warning lights, leaks or unusual noises should be mentioned when booking.
What warranty applies to completed work?
Eligible parts and workmanship have a 24-month / 40,000 km warranty, whichever occurs first, subject to the written warranty terms. The terms explain the coverage and exclusions.
