About this service
The service that keeps an engine healthy
Engine oil does three jobs — it lubricates, cools and cleans. Over time it breaks down and fills with contaminants, which is why an oil and filter change is the single most important thing you can do for an engine’s life.
Our basic service pairs that oil change with a hands-on safety check, so you also find out early if your brakes, tyres or battery need attention — before they become a roadside problem.

FAQ
Basic Service questions
What’s the difference between a basic service and a logbook service?
A basic service covers the essentials — oil, filter, fluids and safety checks. A logbook service follows your manufacturer’s full checklist for that interval and is the one to choose while your car is under warranty.
How often should I get a basic service?
Every 6 to 12 months or every [XX,000] km is a good rule for most cars, more often if you do lots of short trips or towing.
Which oil do you use?
Oil that meets your manufacturer’s specification and viscosity for your engine — we check it against your make and model when you book.
