Logbook Servicing

When purchasing a new vehicle, you will be rewarded with what is known in the industry as a manufacturer’s warranty. This special warranty makes sure that during the assigned warranty period you are protected should anything go wrong with your vehicle. Which means that if your vehicle does need any repair work done on it, you will not be out of pocket for any parts or labour.

However, it is very important to make sure that your warranty book is up-to-date and that all scheduled logbook servicing has been carried out by an authorised mechanic. It’s important to note that while this service can be completed at the dealership which you purchased the vehicle from, it can also be carried out by any qualified and independent mechanic.

At J & A Servicing and Repairs, our team are more than trained when it comes to carrying out comprehensive logbook servicing for petrol, diesel and LPG vehicles. Which will ensure that your warranty remains valid and that you are protected when out on the road.

For all logbook servicing bookings, please get in touch with our office today!
