Maintaining a vehicle in top condition requires more than just regular washing and the occasional oil change. One of the key components to ensure your car remains reliable and efficient is adhering to its log book service schedule. This not only keeps your car running smoothly but also preserves its value.
We can perform fully qualified log book servicing on a wide range of makes and models including: Holden, Ford, Mazda, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Audi, Hyundai, Honda, Kia - and many more.
A log book service is a comprehensive check-up as prescribed by the vehicle’s manufacturer. It's designed to ensure that your car is serviced at specific intervals to keep it in optimal condition. Each car model has a unique set of requirements outlined in its log book, and adhering to these guidelines is essential for maintaining warranty coverage.
The best way to keep your car running safely and reliably as well as maintain your statutory new car warranty is to carry out regular log book servicing.
We don't have to have a physical log book in order to do a Log Book Service - it just means we follow the manufacturers guidelines. We can certainly provide you with a log book to help you record your cars service history, which will be a benefit if you ever decide to sell your vehicle.
Many people believe they must go back to a car dealership for New Car Log Book servicing in order to maintain the warranty. Actually, the ACCC have consistently confirmed that under Australian Law, you are free to have your car service carried out by a mechanic or service centre of your choice provided they are qualified to do so. See our video to learn more.

Don’t overlook the importance of this service; it’s a small step that can lead to significant benefits down the road.
Can I have my log book service done at Hilaire and Speer Auto's instead of the dealership?
Yes. You are not required to return to the dealership for servicing. Hilaire and Speer Auto's can perform manufacturer-approved log book servicing using quality parts and lubricants while maintaining your new car warranty.
Will I lose my manufacturer's warranty if I don't service at the dealership?
No. Australian Consumer Law allows qualified independent workshops like Hilaire and Speer Auto's to service your vehicle without voiding your manufacturer's warranty, provided the service follows the manufacturer's specifications.
How often should I book a log book service?
Service intervals vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle. Most manufacturers recommend servicing every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres or every 6 to 12 months, whichever comes first. Always refer to your owner's handbook or ask our team for advice.
What happens during a log book service?
A log book service typically includes:
The exact items completed depend on your vehicle's scheduled service interval.
Is a log book service different from a basic car service?
Yes. A log book service follows the specific maintenance schedule provided by your vehicle's manufacturer, while a basic service generally covers routine maintenance without the manufacturer-specific requirements.
What if I've missed a scheduled log book service?
If you've missed a scheduled service, it's important to book your vehicle in as soon as possible. Delaying maintenance can lead to increased wear, expensive repairs, reduced fuel efficiency and, in some cases, may affect your warranty. Our technicians can assess your vehicle and help get your servicing back on track.
Can skipping a service cost me money?
Absolutely. Missing regular servicing can result in worn engine oil, damaged brakes, overheating, reduced fuel economy and premature component failure. Preventative maintenance is usually far less expensive than major mechanical repairs.
Do you service all makes and models?
Yes. Hilaire and Speer Auto's services all makes and models, including Australian, Japanese, Korean, European and American vehicles, as well as petrol, diesel, hybrid and light commercial vehicles.
How long does a log book service take?
Most log book services take between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the manufacturer requirements and whether any additional repairs are needed. We'll let you know if your vehicle requires extra work before proceeding.
Do you use genuine or quality replacement parts?
Yes. We use quality parts and lubricants that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications, ensuring your vehicle receives the correct maintenance while maintaining warranty requirements.
What if you find additional repairs during my service?
If we identify any issues that require attention, we'll contact you before carrying out any additional work. We'll explain the problem, provide a quote, and only proceed once you've approved the repairs.
Does regular log book servicing improve fuel economy?
Yes. Regular servicing helps your engine run efficiently by replacing worn fluids and filters, checking tyre pressures, and ensuring all major systems are operating correctly. A well-maintained vehicle typically uses less fuel and performs better.
