A log book service is your car being serviced according to your cars manufacturer specifications. This involves replacing and checking components and fluids that the manufacturer recommends need changing or replacing at regular intervals.

A log book service is important! It helps maintain your cars warranty and keeps your car happy and healthy - extending the life of your vehicle! It also reduces repair costs in the future and helps keep a good history of work done to the vehicle, improving better resale in the future.

It's important to service on time - Missing services can create a bigger bill for you at your next service, especially if you have missed crucial components or fluid replacements or any ongoing underlying problems that need to be resolved asap

We no longer offer loan vehicles. We can however, organise a taxi service at your expense.

No.  There is no requirement under the Australian Consumer Law for a vehicle to be serviced by an authorized dealer in order for the consumer guarantees and manufacturer’s warranty to apply, provided the service is accordance with the specified requirements by a qualified mechanic or service centre. D & D Mechanical & 4WD is fully qualified to service new vehicles. We have more information on this for you in our article. Please click here.

We can issue you with a new log book and with your records on file, we won't lose track of the services and requirements your vehicle needs

With every vehicle that comes in to our Goolwa workshop, a job card is created for our technicians to fill out. They are able to write specific details including times they worked on your vehicle, car parts, work done, servicing reminders, vehicle details, what needs replacing, monitoring and much more! When the car service or repair is complete, that job card which has been entered into our system digitally will be printed out for you as an invoice with all the information you need. We can also email it to you upon request.

Depending on the make of your vehicle and what parts are required, car services can take between 1 to 2 hours. Generally speaking we love having your car for the whole day! With each service we do a full 65 point check over your vehicle. Allowing us to have your car for the day, provides us with enough time to order in parts and replace components that require urgent attention!

Depending on the make and model of your vehicle and which service it is up to or what parts are required this will vary. We can provide you with a quote at time of booking. If we detect any urgent safety issues, we will call you to discuss, provide a quote and with your approval make repairs.

If you want the best life out of your vehicle, it is essential still to keep on top of maintenance. Like most things, fluids still have an expiration date before they become yucky!
