A useful maintenance routine starts with the requirements of your car and a record of the work completed.
These 6 practical steps make the conversation with Mitchell Automotive more productive.
1. Keep the service schedule accessible
Your logbook and dashboard reminder help identify the next scheduled service.
Check the requirements for the model and engine fitted to your vehicle.
2. Retain workshop invoices
Detailed invoices show which parts, fluids and maintenance items have been addressed.
Bring them when arranging a logbook service.
3. Note changes in the drive
A brief description of a noise, warning or change in performance helps the workshop plan the assessment.
Include when it occurs and any recent work on the car.
4. Ask about parts and lubricant specifications
Mitchell Automotive’s service approach is to use parts and fluids that meet the manufacturer’s requirements.
The workshop’s oil-filter example explains why the selected component deserves attention.
5. Plan separate maintenance items
Transmission servicing, brake fluid and timing-system work may follow different schedules from an engine service.
Ask which items are due and which can be planned for a later appointment.
6. Make the booking specific
Include the vehicle details, kilometres and the reason for the visit.
Choose your brand page or request a booking to arrange the next step.
