Warranty and Log Book Service

Maintain your log book service schedule and ensure you have a healthy car.

A log book service is a broad service guided by the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. Completing these services helps to preserve your vehicle’s statutory warranty and keep your car in top shape.

A log book contains all the information for your vehicle’s service requirements for the first 200,000km. It guides your mechanic on exactly what needs attention at that specific service interval. It is strongly recommended that a car owner also familiarise themselves with their log book, for a better understanding of the car’s servicing requirements.

New car – no worries

Many people believe they must go back to the car manufacturer’s service centre for log book servicing to maintain the warranty. Actually, you are free to have your log book service carried out by any reputable and professionally registered service centre of your choice. Dan’s Elite Auto will be able to knowledgeably service your car with quality parts and protect your new car warranty at the same time

Dealer vs non-dealer servicing explained

The Competition and Consumer Act 2010 prevents the practice of exclusive dealing by attaching conditions to the sale of goods that restrict the buyer’s freedom of choice to deal with whom or in what they choose.

Essentially this means that a vehicle manufacturer cannot specify that you must have your car serviced by a particular dealer or group of dealers as part of the warranty conditions.

Nor can a manufacturer void a warranty simply because a vehicle owner has chosen to have a vehicle serviced outside the dealer network.
