Service Inclusions
What Is Included in a Minor Car Service?
A minor service focuses on the items that wear or age fastest between services. The exact checklist is set by your manufacturer and depends on your car’s make, model, age and kilometres, so we check your logbook or service data before we start. Every service also includes a corrosion check, which matters for cars that live in Newcastle’s salt air. If you only need fresh oil between services, our oil service covers the engine oil and filter on its own.
Engine oil and filter change
We drain the old oil, fit a new oil filter and refill with oil that meets your manufacturer’s specification. We also check the air and cabin filters.
Brake inspection and safety check
We inspect the pads, discs, callipers, brake lines and fluid condition. If anything is near its limit, we explain it and quote it before any repair.
Tyre, steering and suspension check
We check tyre tread, pressures and wear patterns, and inspect steering and suspension parts for wear that can affect handling, comfort and braking.
Coolant and fluid top-ups
We check and top up coolant, washer fluid and power steering fluid where fitted, and look for leaks or signs of overheating before they get worse.
Battery test and diagnostic scan
We test battery health and charging, then scan the car’s systems for stored fault codes that can reveal a problem before a warning light appears.
Logbook stamp and road test
We stamp your logbook or update the digital record where possible, reset the service reminder and road test the car to check it before collection.

Service Timing
When to Book a Minor Car Service
Your logbook service schedule or service display is the best guide. Many European cars are due for a service every 12 months or 15,000 km, whichever comes first, but intervals vary by make and model, and some cars calculate when a service is due based on how they are driven. If you are not sure, send us your make, model, year and kilometres and we will check the schedule for you.
Service reminder on the dashboard
Most modern European cars display a service message or spanner symbol when maintenance is due. Book in when it appears rather than letting the reminder count into overdue kilometres.
12 months or 15,000 km passed
Engine oil ages even when a car is not driven much. Short trips, stop-start traffic and towing are harder on oil than long highway runs, so check the time since your last service as well as the odometer.
Signs your car needs a service
New noises, a warning light, a vibration or a fluid leak are worth checking without waiting for the next service. Mention any concerns when you book so we can look into them during the visit.

Minor Service vs Major Service
A minor service is the regular, lighter service. It centres on an oil and filter change, fluid checks and a safety inspection of the brakes, tyres, steering and suspension. It usually takes a few hours, and most are completed the same day.
A major service is due at larger intervals. It includes everything in a minor service, plus additional scheduled replacements. Depending on your manufacturer’s schedule, that can include items such as spark plugs, air and cabin filters, brake fluid, coolant or transmission-related work, so it takes longer.
Many manufacturers alternate between the two, and some European brands use their own names. Mercedes-Benz, for example, alternates between Service A and Service B, while BMW and many Volkswagen Group models can calculate when the next service is due. Your logbook or service display shows which one is next.
If you are not sure which service your car needs, send us your make, model, year, kilometres and any service message on the dash, and we will tell you what is due before you book.
Whichever one is due, our Cardiff workshop completes minor and major car servicing for Newcastle drivers to the same manufacturer standard, using genuine or OEM parts and the correct fluids for your European car.

What is included in a minor car service?
A minor service typically includes an engine oil and filter change, fluid checks and top-ups, a brake inspection, tyre, steering and suspension checks, a battery test, a diagnostic scan, a logbook stamp and a road test. The exact items depend on your manufacturer’s schedule for your car’s age and kilometres.
How often does my car need a minor service?
Follow the interval in your logbook or on your service display. Many European cars are serviced every 12 months or 15,000 km, whichever comes first, but this varies by make, model and how the car is driven. Send us your vehicle details and we can check the schedule for you.
How long does a minor service take?
Most minor services are completed the same day, often in two to three hours. We confirm the expected time when you book and contact you straight away if anything changes.
Will servicing my car here affect my new car warranty?
No, as long as the service follows the manufacturer’s specifications, uses suitable parts and fluids, and is recorded properly. Australian Consumer Law protects your right to use a qualified independent workshop. We stamp your logbook so your records stay clear.
How much does a minor service cost?
The cost depends on your make, model and what your manufacturer’s schedule requires at that service. Send us your vehicle details and we will provide a fixed written quote before any work starts, with no obligation.
Can you check a warning light during a minor service?
Yes. The diagnostic scan reads stored fault codes, and if a warning light is on, we explain what it means and quote any repair before going ahead. If the fault involves driver-assistance cameras or radar sensors, for example after a windscreen replacement, wheel alignment or minor accident, our diagnostic calibration service can recalibrate them to manufacturer specifications.
What happens if you find a problem during my minor service?
We stop and contact you with a clear explanation and a price before doing any additional work. Nothing extra is carried out without your approval.
