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.

When to book it in
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.
- A service is due by date or by odometer reading
- You want the logbook stamped without paying dealer rates
- The car is coming off its capped price servicing period
- You are preparing to sell and want the history complete
- You are not sure which service interval the car is actually up to

“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 at Checkpoint Motors! Honest, transparent, and high-quality service at a very reasonable price. They noted down a future maintenance item for me to monitor, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!”
“Reliable and high-quality mechanics! I had my first service done with Pedro, I changed the transmission oil and all the filters as well. I highly recommend the shop.”

How a booking 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 30 Day Guarantee
Every repair we carry out is backed for 30 days. If something we touched is not right, bring the car back and we will make it right at no cost to you. No argument, no fine print, no second invoice.
Questions we get asked
Anything else, call the workshop on 0466 007 403.
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.
