Advantages to following your logbook service schedule

Regular servicing of your vehicle can seem like a nuisance. Watching the odometer creep towards the scheduled service number, even though it may seem like there’s nothing worth servicing, can feel frustrating. But even if your car is in tip top shape there are advantages to following those outlined service schedules.

Save Money

Perhaps the most difficult thing to stomach with regular servicing is the cost. But your regular logbook service will be cheaper then an emergency repair job. Logbook services allow for identification of problems before they become dramatic, and open the door for low cost and efficient repairs. Ensuring your car stays on the road longer and at less cost to you overall.

And if, down the line, you choose to sell your vehicle being able to show that the logbook service schedule was followed will mean your car can be valued at a higher price then one that has not recieved that level of regular care and maintenance.

Warranty Maintenance

The most important reason to keep up to date with your logbook services, especially for a new vehicle, is to maintain the warranty so that you and your car are protected should anything go wrong. In many cases going too far over the date/milage outlined as a service milestone, or just skipping a service entirely, can void the warranty with the manufacutrer. Keep up to date with your services, you never know when you might need the warranty.

Records and Updates

Your logbook services are also a time for you to make sure you’re up to date on the care and safety requirements for your vehicle. In an ideal situation these scheduled services are the only time you’ll need to think about the mechanical maintenance of your vehicle. As such they are a time where your mechanic will be able to inform you of events concerning your vehicle, such as recalls for example, that you may have been unaware would affect your cars general safety and operation.

They also all the professional servicing the upgrade the records of your vehicle to ensure that anyone working on the car in the future knows potential trouble spots to keep an eye out for.

So is a Logbook Service the same as a regular service?

The answer here is…not quite. Most of the time you can expect a regular service process for your logbook service. Your chosen mechanic will give your car a going over, make sure everything is operational and ensure that there are not problems that may present themselves in the future. In this sense your logbook service will look the same as a standard service. And it will as such achieve the objectives of can maintenance that regular servicing provides. However it is important to make clear to your chosen mechanic if you are booking for a logbook service specificially. This is because many car manufacturers dictate the precise procedure mechanics should follow for logbook services. As each manufacturer is making cars with different focuses and objectives, there is going to be some small differences between service requirements. So make sure that your chosen mechanic is able to perform this service for your car’s make and model.
