Log book servicingMount Louisa.
Keep your new car under warranty without the dealership run-around. We service Mount Louisa cars to the manufacturer schedule by hand in Garbutt, fit the specified oils and parts, and stamp the book on the spot. The same standard as the dealer, just down the hill from home.
- Warranty safe
- Genuine parts
- Same-day turnaround
Why it matters
It is the stamp,not just the oil.
Done on schedule, your warranty, resale value and history all stay clean. Miss a stamp or drop behind and that gap is the first thing a manufacturer reaches for when a claim lands on their desk.
Your warranty stays intact
Australian Consumer Law lets you service at any qualified workshop you like. We follow the handbook to the letter, so the manufacturer has no opening to wave away a claim.
The book gets stamped
Every visit is logged, dated and stamped. A clean run of history protects your resale value and keeps any future warranty claim straightforward.
Dealer standard, without the dealer price
The same schedule and the same grade of parts the dealership fits, without the markup or the wait on a loan car you never asked for.
What you get
Every logbook service,by the book.
Whatever is sitting in the Mount Louisa driveway, we service it to the book, petrol or diesel, 2WD or 4WD, from a Hilux, Ranger or Triton to a LandCruiser, Prado, D-Max, i30 or the family runabout.

Common questions
The questionswe hear most.
Still not sure? Give the workshop a call or send a message and we will sort it.
Easily. We sit in Garbutt, the same 4814 postcode as Mount Louisa, barely two minutes back down Bayswater Road. The service follows your handbook to the letter and the book gets stamped, and most jobs are turned around inside the day, so you can leave it on the way out in the morning and collect it before the afternoon school run.
It will not. The Australian Consumer Law says any competent workshop can service your car and the maker still has to stand behind the warranty, provided the handbook schedule is followed and the right parts and fluids go in. We tick all of that off, and the dated stamp in your book is your evidence if it is ever queried.
It can count against you. A missed interval leaves a hole in the record, and that hole is sometimes all a manufacturer needs to push back on a claim. Bring the car down, we will slot it back onto the right schedule and tidy the log book up from there.
Constantly. Diesel or petrol, two-wheel or four, we handle the Hilux, Ranger, Triton, LandCruiser, Prado, Patrol and D-Max that fill the driveways across the Mount Louisa estates, each one done to its own handbook intervals.
Usually we can. With certain European and prestige badges we like to have the correct oil and parts in before you arrive, so ring through the make and model and we will tell you on the spot whether it is ready to book.
That hinges on the car and which interval the handbook sets at your kilometres, since a minor and a major service are worlds apart on price. Flick us the rego or call 0457 816 890 and you will get a real figure, not a ballpark.
Book it in advance and a log book service is generally a one-day turnaround. Should we come across anything beyond the schedule, you get a call with the timeframe and the cost before we carry on, never a done deal sprung on you at pickup.
No problem. The workshop has a secure key drop, so park it, post the keys, send word it is there, and it goes on the hoist as soon as we open up.
