What is Logbook Servicing?
Logbook servicing is a scheduled service set out by your vehicle’s manufacturer. It details what maintenance should be done at specific intervals, usually based on time or kilometres travelled. These services are designed to ensure your car continues to operate efficiently, safely, and in line with warranty requirements.
Every logbook service is different depending on the make and model of your car. The logbook contains a checklist of items that must be inspected, tested, or replaced.
At CFI Automotive, we follow your logbook precisely, ensuring your warranty stays intact and your car gets the care it needs.
Keep Your New Car Warranty Intact
A common misconception is that you must return to the dealership for servicing in order to maintain your new car warranty. This is not true.
Under Australian consumer law, you have the right to have your car serviced by any qualified mechanic, as long as the service meets the manufacturer’s requirements and genuine or equivalent quality parts are used.
At CFI Automotive, we use high-quality parts, fluids and diagnostic tools, and we stamp your logbook to maintain your service history. You can rely on our experienced mechanics to carry out logbook services that fully comply with manufacturer standards, protecting your warranty and resale value.
What’s Included in a Logbook Service?
Every logbook service is tailored to your specific vehicle and its service schedule. However, a typical logbook service at CFI Automotive may include:
Engine oil and oil filter change
Brake inspection and adjustment
Fluid level checks and top-ups (coolant, brake fluid, power steering, etc.)
Battery check and terminal clean
Tyre rotation and pressure check
Air and cabin filter inspection or replacement
Spark plug check or replacement (as required)
Diagnostic scan and fault code check
Inspection of belts, hoses, and cooling system
Road test to ensure safe operation
If your car requires a more in-depth inspection or replacement of specific components, we will always let you know before proceeding with additional work. Our goal is to be completely transparent so you are never hit with any unexpected costs.
