Frequently Asked Questions — Car Service Artarmon

Q: How often should I get my car serviced?

A: Most modern cars need a service every 10,000–15,000 km or 12 months — whichever comes first. Older vehicles or those driven in harsh conditions may need more frequent servicing. We’ll advise the correct interval for your specific car.

Q: Do you service cars that are still under manufacturer warranty?

A: Yes. You’re legally entitled to have your car serviced at any qualified independent workshop without losing your manufacturer warranty. We use genuine OEM parts and manufacturer specifications, so your warranty is fully protected.

Q: What if you find extra work that needs doing?

A: We’ll call you, explain what we found, show you evidence where possible, and give you a clear quote. We never proceed with additional work without your explicit approval. You’re always in control.

Q: How long does a car service take?

A: A minor oil service typically takes 45–90 minutes. A full logbook service is usually 2–3 hours. If additional repairs are needed, we’ll give you an updated time estimate before proceeding.

Q: Can I drop off my car and pick it up later?

A: Yes. Many customers drop their car with us in the morning and collect it after work. We can call or message you when it’s ready. We also offer a pickup and return service if you’d prefer we come to you.
