LOGBOOK SERVICING
Logbook servicing is a crucial aspect of vehicle maintenance, ensuring that a car remains in optimal condition while adhering to the manufacturer’s specifications. This type of service follows a detailed checklist outlined in the vehicle’s logbook, covering all essential maintenance tasks at specific intervals based on time or mileage. Unlike generic servicing, logbook servicing maintains a car’s warranty, as it ensures that all inspections, repairs, and replacements align with the manufacturer’s guidelines. During a logbook service, professional mechanics perform a comprehensive assessment of the vehicle, including checking the engine oil and filter, inspecting the brakes, testing the battery, examining fluid levels, and assessing the suspension system. They also evaluate the transmission, steering components, and other vital systems to detect any early signs of wear or potential issues.
Signs you need a Logbook Servicing
Logbook servicing involves routine maintenance to keep your vehicle running efficiently and maintain warranty coverage.
1. Mileage Milestone Reached
If your vehicle has reached a specific mileage milestone, such as 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000 kilometers, it’s time to check your logbook for the recommended service interval.
2. Changes in Fuel Efficiency
If you notice that your car is consuming more fuel than usual, it could be a sign of underlying issues that need to be addressed during a logbook service.
3. Old or Dirty Fluids
If you notice that your engine oil, coolant, or other fluids appear dirty or have not been changed in a while, it’s time for a logbook service to refresh these fluids.
4. Upcoming Warranty Expiration
If your vehicle is still under warranty and you haven’t kept up with logbook servicing, it’s crucial to schedule a service to maintain your warranty coverage.
