A logbook service follows the manufacturer’s specifications and includes a comprehensive inspection, fluid and filter replacements, and other checks designed to maintain vehicle performance and safety. Regular logbook servicing helps protect your new car warranty and ensures your vehicle stays in peak condition.

How often should I have my brakes checked?

We were very impressed with the old-fashioned service we received. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The prices were also very fair. We'll be bringing our cars here from now on.
