Treat your vehicle to a thorough health checkup!

Servicing your car is important to keep it healthy and running smooth for a long time. Typically an annual service is recommended, but if you do a lot of driving, you might want to do it more frequently. If you leave it too long, you might hear funny noises, have a loss of power and or overheating. A comprehensive service with a My Auto Shop mechanic includes changing your car's oil and filter, checking relevant fluids, electrical system, suspension, steering, brakes and finally a road test to ensure it drives just right. It doesn’t matter if you drive a ute, van, station wagon or hatchback, every car needs one.

What does a mechanic do during a car service?

During a comprehensive service with us, our partner-garages complete all the necessary checks and tasks to ensure your vehicle is ready to both endure that daily commute and enjoy wild holiday road trips. Your car can expect to have:

  • It's engine, transmission, hoses, belts and body scanned for leaks, security or damage.
  • An electrical system check for charging, voltage and condition.
  • It's brakes, wheels and bearings checked to make sure you can stick to the road in all conditions.
  • The internal filters and operational components checked for cleanliness and functionality.
  • Finally, a road test, to make sure it drives just right for you.


How much does a comprehensive usually cost?

A thorough service can range from $180 - $500+ depending on what your vehicle is (as parts and oil costs can vary) as well as what content is included by the mechanic. We recommend not cutting corners here as it will lead to safety issues, as well as future, more expensive, issues.
