It is not necessary to have a physical Log Book present; we just have to stick to the manufacturer's guidelines. We are more than happy to supply you with a Log Book so that you can record your car's service history - an advantage if you ever decide to resell your vehicle.
A lot of people mistakenly assume that the only way to maintain their new car warranty is to return to the car dealership for Log Book Servicing. However, the ACCC have always made it clear that you have the freedom to choose any mechanic or service center you trust to perform the service as long as they are certified to do so.
As time passes, parts of your car start to break down, and if left unchecked, can break or malfunction. It is much better to change the affected parts before they cause damage, so you won't be stranded on the side of the road or, even worse, have an accident or completely destroy your engine.
A maintenance schedule, or service schedule, is the ideal plan to decide which components or liquids should be replaced in your car, and when, in order to keep it in the best shape.
New cars usually come with Log Books, which allows you to record your compliance with the maintenance schedule set by the manufacturers. With Log Book Services, your mechanic can stamp the book to prove that the required service was conducted according to the schedule.
This not only keeps your new car warranty intact but can increase the value of your car if you choose to sell it. In case your car does not have a Log Book, the certified technicians at Harry's Auto Care are experienced enough to come up with an appropriate maintenance schedule for your car, taking into consideration its age, your local driving conditions and your own driving style.
