Will Logbook Servicing With an Independent Mechanic Keep My New Car Guarantee Valid?
Yes, under Australian Consumer Law, a qualified independent mechanic can perform logbook servicing to manufacturer specifications without affecting your new car guarantee. The ACCC has made clear that manufacturers cannot lawfully require dealer-only servicing as a condition of guarantee cover. Auto Express Service Centre & Mobile Mechanics follows each vehicle's manufacturer-specified service schedule, uses appropriate-quality parts, stamps the logbook, and provides detailed service records. This applies to all makes and models, including European vehicles and new long-guarantee brands.
Can You Issue a Roadworthy Certificate, and What Happens if My Car Fails?
Yes, Auto Express Service Centre & Mobile Mechanics is a licensed VicRoads vehicle tester and can issue roadworthy certificates on-site in North Geelong. If a vehicle fails the inspection, a defect notice lists every item requiring attention.

This service can help buyers in the Geelong region make informed decisions before committing to a purchase.
Will You Call Me for Approval Before Doing Any Extra Repairs?
