Logbook Servicing on the Gold Coast (Warranty-Safe)

Yes, you can have your new car logbook serviced at an independent workshop without voiding the warranty. Prestige Servicing in Southport does logbook services to the manufacturer's schedule and specifications, using parts and fluids that meet the manufacturer's standard, and we stamp your logbook. Under Australian Consumer Law, that keeps your new car warranty intact.

Does an independent logbook service void my warranty?

No. The ACCC has said that a new car warranty can't be voided just because the car was serviced by an independent repairer instead of the dealer. To keep your warranty protected, the service needs to:

1. follow the manufacturer's service schedule and specifications
2. use parts and fluids of the right quality for your car
3. be done by a qualified technician and recorded in the logbook or service record.

One thing to check: a dealer extended warranty, meaning one you bought or were given on top of the manufacturer's warranty, can have its own conditions. Some of them require dealer servicing, so read those terms. (Source: ACCC, Motor vehicle sales and repairs, accc.gov.au)

Logbook service vs a general service

A logbook service follows your manufacturer's checklist for that interval, kilometre by kilometre. A general service covers the essentials and suits older, out-of-warranty cars. Price varies by vehicle (filter cost, oil capacity), and every job is quoted first. Not sure which one you need? Send us your rego and kilometres and we'll tell you.
