Maintenance


Your car should come with a logbook or owner’s handbook that sets out when the vehicle should be serviced and what maintenance needs to be done. If the car is still under warranty and you don’t have it serviced to the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule, you may void the warranty. As long as the service is carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, any licensed repairer can do it, not just the dealer from whom you purchased the car. If you don’t have a logbook, ask the repairer or manufacturer to explain what is involved with each type of service and its associated cost.

Motor vehicle repairers

In NSW, repairers must be licensed to work on your car. To hold a licence a repairer must meet criteria contained in the Motor Vehicle Repairs Act 1980. For more information visit www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au
