Standard car servicing, also known as a general or minor service, only covers the basics. This typically includes an engine oil and filter change, along with a general check-up of your brakes, tyres, lights, fluids and key components under the bonnet and vehicle. Logbook servicing is more comprehensive. It follows the manufacturer’s recommended schedule – based on time or kilometres travelled – to maintain your car’s warranty. What’s included depends on the make and model, but generally involves more detailed checks and replacements.
