Car servicing in Mitchell ACT
Basic, log book and performance servicing for all makes
Gen-Tech services all makes and models at our workshop in Mitchell ACT, from a basic car service to manufacturer log book servicing that keeps your new car warranty valid. We also service tuned and performance cars, and check used cars before you buy.
Which car service do you need?
Most cars need a basic service every 6 months or 10,000 km. If your car is still under new car warranty, book a log book service instead, because it follows your manufacturer’s schedule and checklist.
| Service | Best for | How often |
|---|---|---|
| Basic car service | Everyday cars out of warranty, and between log book services | Every 6 months or 10,000 km, whichever comes first |
| Log book service | Cars under new car warranty, and anyone wanting a full service history for resale | As set in your log book, usually every 10,000 to 15,000 km or once a year |
| High performance car service | Tuned, modified and performance cars that work harder on fluids, cooling, brakes and driveline | Ask us for an interval that suits your build |
| Pre purchase inspection | Checking a used car before you buy it | Once, before you hand over the money |
What’s included in a car service at Gen-Tech?
Every service covers the checks that keep your car safe and reliable. A log book service adds whatever your manufacturer lists for that interval.
- Engine oil and oil filter change
- Brake fluid, coolant, power steering, washer and transmission fluid checked and topped up
- Brake pads, rotors and lines checked
- Tyre tread, condition and pressure checked
- Battery tested
- Lights and wipers checked
- Belts, hoses and the engine bay checked for leaks and wear
- Underbody checked for leaks, rust and worn bushes
After the service you get clear notes on what we did, what we replaced and anything to keep an eye on. If we find something that needs extra work, we call you before doing it.
Will a log book service at Gen-Tech keep my new car warranty valid?
Yes. In Australia you don’t have to go back to the dealer. A qualified independent workshop can do your log book service without voiding your new car warranty, as long as the service follows the manufacturer’s schedule and uses suitable parts and oil. That’s exactly how we do it.
Do you service all makes and models?
Yes. We service Holden, Ford, Toyota, Hyundai, Mazda, Subaru, 4WDs, European models and more. We also service tuned and modified cars, including turbo engines, performance V8s and ECU tuned cars, and take the modifications into account when we service them.
How long does a car service take?
A basic car service takes around 45 to 60 minutes. You can wait, grab a coffee nearby, or drop the car off and pick it up later.
Other repairs we do while your car is in
If the service turns up a problem, we can fix it in the same workshop:
- Brakes, suspension and steering
- Battery and electrical
- Air conditioning service
- Timing belt and chain replacement
- Transmission service and clutch replacement
- Engine repairs
- Wheel repair

Car servicing FAQ
How often should I service my car?
Every 6 months or 10,000 km for most cars, or as your log book says if the car is under warranty. Book more often if you tow, do lots of short trips, drive in dust or have a turbocharged engine.
What’s the difference between a basic service and a log book service?
A basic service covers oil, filters and the key safety checks. A log book service follows the exact checklist your manufacturer sets for your car at that interval, which is what keeps the service history complete for your warranty.
Can I get a log book service somewhere other than the dealer?
Yes. Any qualified workshop can do it, as long as the service follows the manufacturer’s schedule and uses suitable parts and oil.
Do you service modified and tuned cars?
Yes. Modified cars are our specialty, and our high performance car service focuses on the systems that tuned cars work hardest.
What should I check before buying a used car?
Ask for the service history and book a pre purchase inspection. We check the engine, gearbox, clutch, diff, brakes and suspension before you commit.
