What is a log book service?

Regular inspections and small repairs with Log Book Servicing can help your car remain efficient, thus avoiding costly repairs caused by larger problems down the line. This cost-saving approach to car maintenance is essential in keeping your vehicle running optimally.

So it's important to understand that Log Book Servicing is a proactive approach to car maintenance to prevent small problems turning into major damage and issues which could otherwise be very costly to repair. Plus it improves your resale value should you want to sell your car in the future.

Every passenger car and most commercial vehicles come with a Log Book issued by the manufacturer that outlines the necessary timing and agenda for routine maintenance. You should store the log book in your glove compartment for quick reference and to record any information, but if you can't find it, Kinnane's Car Clinic can consult our database to get the required information if you've misplaced your book.

The schedule of the service will be a combination of both time or distance.

You may be tempted to delay your next log book service because your car is probably still driveable and it may not have reached BOTH the time and distance measures. While you obviously need to find availability in your budget and schedule, don't delay too long because wear and tear on the car will increase exponentially and could lead to damage which is many times more expensive than the log book service would have been.

What's included?

Every car is different and the agenda for each service changes according to the schedule, which is why each vehicle is issued with a log book.

Here are some examples of what can be included:

  • Change Oil
  • Check Coolant
  • Check Car Battery
  • Check Transmission Fluid
  • Check Brake Fluid
  • Check the Condition of the Air Filter
  • Check Power Steering Fluid
  • Check Spark Plugs
  • Check Turn Signals
  • Check Brake Lights

  • Brake Check
  • Belt Check
  • Hose Check
  • Tyre Rotation
