Keeping your vehicle in top shape is crucial for its performance, reliability, and longevity.

Whether you drive daily or just occasionally, following the manufacturer's recommended servicing is essential to keep your vehicle safe, efficient, and running smoothly.
What Is a Logbook Service?
A Logbook Service involves servicing your car according to the manufacturer's specifications, as outlined in your vehicle’s logbook. This ensures that every necessary check and maintenance task is completed at the right time. At Epping Motors, our team of qualified technicians performs these services with precision and care, using quality parts to meet warranty standards.
Why Regular Logbook Services Matter

- Protect Your Warranty: Staying on schedule with logbook services helps you maintain your manufacturer’s warranty, avoiding costly repairs later.
- Improve Fuel Efficiency: A well-maintained engine operates more efficiently, saving you money on fuel in the long run.
- Extend Vehicle Life: Proper care reduces wear and tear, ensuring your vehicle lasts longer.
- Boost Resale Value: A complete logbook history demonstrates that your car has been well cared for, which can increase its resale value.
Pre-Road Trip Checklist: Is Your Car Ready?
If you're planning a road trip, ensuring your car is ready for the journey is a must. Before hitting the road, here’s a checklist to help you inspect key areas of your vehicle:
- Tyres: Check for proper inflation, tread depth, and any signs of damage. Don't forget to inspect the spare tyre.
- Fluids: Ensure your oil, coolant, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, and transmission fluid are at appropriate levels.
- Battery: Make sure the battery is fully charged, and inspect terminals for corrosion.
- Brakes: Listen for unusual noises and confirm they feel responsive when pressed.
- Lights: Test all headlights, brake lights, indicators, and interior lights.
- Windshield and Wipers: Ensure the windshield is clean and free from cracks, and check that the wipers are working effectively.
- Belts and Hoses: Look for signs of wear or cracking.
- Air Conditioning and Heating: Test the systems to make sure they’re functioning properly, especially for long drives in extreme weather.
- Emergency Kit: Carry essentials like a first aid kit, flashlight, jumper cables, and basic tools.
