Logbook Servicing
What is a Log Book Service?
When you purchase your new car , it comes with a manufacturers Log book. The Log book is a guide for yourvehicle’s recommended service intervals. . It s a guide for exactly what should be serviced, and when, according to the manufacturer of your vehicle.
Why do I need a Log book Service ?
By following the Log Book guidelines vehicle will be maintained in the safest, most reliable state. It also means your remains in its peak performance state – extending the life of your car and helping to avoid any nasty, unexpected breakdowns or repairs.
By following your car’s log book schedule you will maintain a higher resale value, in case you ever decide to sell your car. Your log book becomes peace of mind for the buyer, because it shows the full car service and repair history. Purchasers will be happier to buy your car – and pay more knowing that it has been fully maintained to the manufacturers standards and that the car they are about to buy is safe and in the best working condition..
Don’t I have to only go to the original Dealer where I bought my new car in order to get a Log book Service or to maintain my New Car Warranty ?
No. New car dealers do not have the right to void your statutory new car warranty just because you had services or repairs done at a service centre different to the dealership that you bought it from. You legally have the right to visit any mechanic or car service centre of your choice to get your Log book service. You should however, make sure that the selected car service centre employs fully qualified mechanics and technicians, and that the services they perform meet manufacturer’s specifications and quality parts are used.

Roadworthy Certificate
In Victoria a Certificate of Roadworthiness is generally required when a vehicle is sold or if a used vehicle is to be re-registered. This helps minimize the number of poorly maintained vehicles on the road.
In some cases a Certificate of Roadworthiness is also required to clear a Vehicle Defect Notice or a Notice of Unroadworthiness.
Who issues certificates?
A Certificate of Roadworthiness can only be issued by a licensed vehicle tester, operating from a nominated garage or service station.
When can a certificate be issued?
The vehicle must pass a roadworthy inspection, then a certificate is issued.
What is inspected?
The inspection is a check of the vehicle to ensure that key components have not worn or deteriorated and that the vehicle is safe for normal road use.
A roadworthy inspection mainly covers the major safety related items, including:
- Wheels and tyres
- Steering, suspension and braking systems
- Seats and seat belts
- Lamps and reflectors
- Windscreen, and windows including front windscreen wipers and washers
- The structure of the vehicle itself
- Other safety related items on the body, chassis or engine.
The roadworthiness test is not a check of the mechanical reliability or general condition of the vehicle. If you require a comprehensive check on the overall condition and reliability of the vehicle, then you should arrange for a separate report offered by Yambla Auto Repairs Roadworthy Centre.
The certificate does not mean:
That the vehicle is in top condition without any wear or deterioration, non-safety related accessories such as the air conditioner, rear window demister, electric windows and rear-window wipers are working that the items checked during the roadworthy inspection will continue to function after the inspection eg. a brake light can stop functioning at any time after the inspection.
What if the vehicle fails the test?
If an item fails to meet the standard, We will issue a rejection report. You will be given seven days to repair the item/s rejected and return the vehicle to us for a second inspection of the failed items. If more than seven days elapse a complete inspection must again be carried out on the vehicle.
How much does the test cost?
The cost of obtaining a Certificate of Roadworthiness is not fixed. It may depend on the age, type and condition of the vehicle being examined. You can ask for a quote from us.
How long does a certificate last?
A Certificate of Roadworthiness is current, for the purposes of a transaction, for 30 days from the date of issue.
What about the Australian Design Rules?
The roadworthiness test is not a complete assessment of a vehicle’s compliance with the Standards for Registration, which, in most cases, are the Australian Design Rules (ADRs). The ADRs are a set of minimum standards for the construction of motor vehicles and trailers. In most cases, compliance with these standards cannot be assessed by inspection alone.
In Werribee, we provide the Roadworthy Certificate after the complete inspection of the vehicle. Our team ensures that the vehicle meets all the standards mentioned by Australian Design Rules (ADR). After inspection we will give a report about the vehicle and also do the necessary repairs to make sure that your car meet the standards.
