A lot of drivers believe they have to return to the dealership or they will void the warranty on a new car. That is not how it works in Australia. You are entitled to have your car serviced anywhere competent, provided the schedule is followed and the work is recorded. We do exactly that, and we stamp the book.

No surprises on the bill
We will not begin work on your logbook servicing until we have talked you through what it needs and you have agreed to go ahead. If we find something else once we are into the job, we stop and call you before doing anything further. Nothing lands on your bill that you have not approved.
How it works
Book it in
Call the workshop or send the form. Booking costs nothing and you are not committing to any work.
We inspect and photograph
We put the car up and look properly. You get high definition photos of anything we find, so you can see the worn part yourself rather than taking our word for it.
You get a quote
We quote the whole job before a spanner is turned, and we talk you through it. If we find something else once we are in there, we stop and call you before going any further.
We fix it and back it
The work is done by master technicians using parts matched to your car, and covered by our 30 day guarantee.
The schedule is specific to your car, not generic
Service intervals are not interchangeable between models. One engine wants fresh oil every ten thousand kilometres, another goes fifteen. Some need a cabin filter yearly and a fuel filter at sixty thousand. Timing belts, brake fluid and coolant all have their own clocks that have nothing to do with the oil change. We look up the schedule for your build, not a rule of thumb, and carry out the items that are genuinely due at that interval.
Severe service conditions apply to more people than realise it
Most owners read the standard schedule and assume it applies to them. Manufacturers also publish a severe duty schedule for short trips, stop and start traffic, heavy loads and towing, and it usually halves the interval. A car that only ever does short suburban runs never gets the oil hot enough to boil off moisture and fuel dilution, which is harder on an engine than motorway kilometres. We will tell you honestly which schedule your driving actually fits.
A complete history is worth money at resale
A full and unbroken service record is one of the few things that reliably holds a used car price up. Gaps invite the buyer to assume the worst and negotiate accordingly. Every service we complete is stamped and documented, so the book tells a continuous story. If you bought the car with an incomplete history we can start a clean record from where you are, which is far better than leaving it blank.
Logbook Servicing
A lot of drivers believe they have to return to the dealership or they will void the warranty on a new car. That is not how it works in Australia. You are entitled to have your car serviced anywhere competent, provided the schedule is followed and the work is recorded. We do exactly that, and we stamp the book.
Inside the workshop
Not stock photos. This is the Buchanan Road workshop, our hoists and our technicians.
“Pedro and Iury provided a great experience from start to finish. I took my little “Apple Love” there, and even though I don’t know much about cars, they took the time to clearly explain every step of the process, both over WhatsApp and in person at the workshop, which made everything much less stressful and easier to understand. The service was quick, the pricing was fair, and they were also flexible with payment options, which really helped. Professional service, honest communication, and overall a very smooth experience. Definitely a workshop I’d come back to in the future.”
“We have a small car rental company and these legends are caring of our fleet. The workshop definitely have the best car servicing in Brisbane Northside, everything is done with transparency and only made after our approval. Really recommend!”
“Excellent service and quality work. The team was very professional, transparent, and explained everything clearly before carrying out the work. My car was in great condition after the service, and the whole process was quick and efficient. I highly recommend them!”
“Great experience with this garage. The team was very professional, friendly, and explained everything clearly about the work that needed to be done. The service was completed on time and the price was very fair. It’s great to find a place that is honest and does quality work. I highly recommend them.”
“My car engine was failing and luckily these guys were the closest. Did a great job, very fairly priced. I needed a service too and they gave me that which was very convenient. Happy customer”

Common questions
Will an independent service void my new car warranty?
No. Under Australian consumer law your warranty stays valid as long as the manufacturer schedule is followed and the work is properly recorded. We follow it and stamp the book.
Do you use genuine parts?
We use genuine parts where the schedule or the warranty requires them, and quality equivalent parts where they meet the same specification. We will tell you which is going in before the work starts.
What is the difference between a minor and a major service?
A minor service covers oil, filter, fluids and a safety inspection. A major service adds the interval items that fall due, such as spark plugs, filters, brake fluid or coolant. We quote whichever your car is actually up to.
I do not know when my car was last serviced. Can you help?
Yes. Bring it in and we will read the odometer, check the book and the condition of the fluids, then recommend the correct starting point rather than guessing.
Can you service my car while I wait?
Many services are completed the same day. Tell us when you book and we will schedule it so the car is ready when you need it.
Is a capped price dealer service cheaper than servicing here?
Sometimes for the first few services, then it usually stops being so once the capped period ends and the larger intervals arrive. The bigger difference is what is included. Compare the actual item list rather than the headline figure, because a cheap service that skips the interval items is not the same job.
