A log book service is a manufacturer-scheduled service designed specifically for your vehicle. Every make and model has its own maintenance schedule, outlining what should be inspected, replaced or serviced at specific time or kilometre intervals. At Kiwi French Automotive, we follow your manufacturer's specifications to ensure your vehicle receives the correct service every time.

No. Under Australian Consumer Law, you are free to choose a qualified independent workshop to carry out your log book servicing without affecting your manufacturer's warranty.

As a Repco Authorised Service Centre, Kiwi French Automotive uses quality parts, approved lubricants and follows the manufacturer's servicing requirements, helping protect your warranty while often providing a more personalised service.

Yes. Once your log book service has been completed, we'll update and stamp your service records (or update the digital service history where applicable), giving you a complete maintenance history for your vehicle.

Each log book service varies depending on your vehicle, but commonly includes:

• Engine oil and oil filter replacement
• Safety inspection
• Brake inspection
• Steering and suspension checks
• Tyre inspection and pressure adjustment
• Battery testing
• Cooling system inspection
• Fluid level checks and top-ups
• Drive belt inspection
• Diagnostic scan where required
• Manufacturer-specified component replacements

We only perform the work required for your vehicle's scheduled service.

Most vehicles require servicing every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres or every 6 to 12 months, whichever comes first. However, every manufacturer has different recommendations, so it's important to follow your vehicle's log book rather than waiting until a problem develops.

Missing scheduled servicing can lead to:

• Increased engine wear
• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Higher repair costs
• Premature component failure
• Potential warranty complications if servicing requirements aren't met

If you've missed a service, don't panic. Bring your vehicle to Kiwi French Automotive and we'll inspect it, recommend any catch-up maintenance and help get your servicing back on schedule.

Yes. Kiwi French Automotive are specialists in MG servicing and repairs. Whether your MG requires routine maintenance, log book servicing, diagnostics or repairs, our experienced technicians have the equipment and knowledge to keep it performing at its best.

We use quality replacement parts that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications. Where required, genuine parts are fitted to ensure your vehicle continues to meet manufacturer servicing requirements.

Yes. An oil change only replaces the engine oil and filter, whereas a log book service includes all of the inspections, adjustments and component replacements required by your vehicle manufacturer at that specific service interval.

Yes. Preventative maintenance is almost always more affordable than major repairs. Regular servicing helps identify worn parts before they fail, improves fuel efficiency, extends vehicle life and can help avoid expensive breakdowns.
