What is Log Book Service?

Log Book Servicing is a practical approach to car maintenance, focusing on regular checks and minor repairs to ensure your vehicle runs smoothly and efficiently. This helps address small issues early, preventing them from developing into significant problems that could be expensive to fix.

Each passenger car (and most commercial vehicles) should come with a Log Book provided by the manufacturer. This outlines the recommended schedule and details for your routine log book services. It’s a good idea to keep your log book in the glove compartment for easy access and to note down any updates. However, if you’ve misplaced it, Geoff Perry Motors can consult our database to obtain the necessary information for you.

The schedule of the service will be a combination of both time or distance.

You might be tempted to postpone your next logbook service because your car is still running and may not yet meet both the time and distance criteria. While it’s understandable that you need to balance your budget and schedule, try not to delay for too long. Prolonged wear and tear can escalate quickly and might result in damage far more costly than the price of the service itself.

Each car is unique, and the specifics of each service vary depending on its schedule. For this reason, every vehicle is provided with a logbook. Below are some examples of what might be included

  • Change Oil
  • Check Coolant
  • Check Car Battery
  • Check Transmission Fluid
  • Check Brake Fluid
  • Check the Condition of the Air Filter

  • Check Spark Plugs
