FAQ

We get asked a lot of the same questions about Log Book Servicing for New Cars so we thought we would share them with you:

Do I have to go back to the Dealership to service my Car?

No, you don’t. According to the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC), you can have your car serviced by any qualified mechanic or service centre, such as Aitken Bros Autos, without voiding your warranty.

What is a Log Book Service?

Not at all. As long as the servicing is done by qualified professionals like Aitken Bros Autos, who follows the manufacturer’s specifications and uses appropriate quality parts, your warranty will remain valid.

Will I lose my New Car Warranty if my local mechanic services my car?

Not at all. As long as the servicing is done by qualified professionals like Aitken Bros Autos, who follows the manufacturer’s specifications and uses appropriate quality parts, your warranty will remain valid.

It's a New Car, do you have the right experience?

At Aitken Bros Autos, our team is fully qualified, with ongoing training to stay up-to-date with modern vehicle servicing techniques. We use high-quality parts and ensure all work meets manufacturer standards, giving you peace of mind and excellent value.

Do I need the Log Book to have a service?

No, you don’t need a physical log book. However, we can provide one for you or keep detailed service records for your convenience. This will be stamped each time by us. This is particularly helpful when it’s time to sell your vehicle and you can show it has been well maintained.
