Service manualSection 2 — Logbook servicing
§ 2
Logbook servicing
Your logbook sets the schedule — usually every 10,000–15,000 km or 6–12 months, whichever comes first. We follow it line by line, fit parts that meet the maker's spec, and stamp the book so the history stays complete.
TipUnder new-car warranty? Bring the logbook along. Your warranty booklet explains its own conditions — we follow the manufacturer's schedule and specs.

Service manualSection 3 — Tyres & brakes
§ 3
Tyres & brakes
The two things between you and the road. Here's what we measure, and the signs that mean it's time to book.
Book a brake check if…
- you hear a squeal or a grind when braking
- the pedal feels soft, or sinks further than it used to
- the car pulls to one side as you stop
- you feel shudder through the pedal or the wheel
- the brake warning light comes on
| Job | From |
|---|---|
| Fit & balance (per tyre) | $30 |
| Puncture repair | $35 |
| Tyre rotation | $40 |
| Rotor machining (pair) | $90 |
| Brake fluid flush | $110 |
LocalHeading down the range with a load on? Brakes work hardest on the descent — worth a check before the trip.

What's that noise?
Pick the sound that's closest to yours. You'll see its rough shape, can hear a synthesised sample if you like, and get the usual suspects in plain English.
Likely suspects
General infoA mechanic has to inspect the car to diagnose it — this guide can't. If a noise comes with a warning light, a soft pedal or the car pulling, stop driving and call us.
