Jamie services your car to the manufacturer schedule, stamps the book, and hands it back the same day. You keep the new car warranty, and you never leave the house.
Based in Seymour, servicing 50km around. Mon to Fri 8am to 5pm, Sat 8am to 1pm.
This is the single most common worry Jamie gets asked about, and the answer is settled. Under Australian Consumer Law your new car warranty stays valid when the service is carried out by any qualified mechanic, to the manufacturer's schedule, using parts that meet the manufacturer's specification.
The ACCC has been explicit that a manufacturer cannot require you to service at their dealership to keep the warranty. What matters is that the right work is done at the right interval, with the right parts, and that it is recorded in your logbook. That is exactly what Jamie does, and he stamps the book when he is finished.
A logbook service is a defined list of work, not a vague once-over. Here is how Jamie runs it.
Book a time ›Jamie checks what your make and model calls for at your kilometres. A 15,000km service and a 100,000km service are very different jobs, and you only pay for the one you are actually due.
Oil, filters and any items due get quoted before the day. You pick OEM parts or quality aftermarket equivalents, and Jamie tells you plainly where the difference is worth paying for and where it is not.
The work gets done, the book gets stamped and dated, and you get an itemised invoice. If Jamie spots something outside the service, he tells you and quotes it separately. He never just does it.
Not sure what your car is due for? Call Jamie and read him the number off the odometer.
Call 0409 977 762No. Under Australian Consumer Law any qualified mechanic can carry out and stamp your logbook servicing without affecting the manufacturer warranty, provided it follows the manufacturer's schedule and uses parts that meet their specification. Jamie works to that standard and documents it.
You need parts that meet the manufacturer's specification, which is not the same as genuine-branded parts. Quality aftermarket filters and oils frequently meet or exceed spec. Jamie quotes both so you can decide, and notes on the invoice what was fitted.
Then you have more freedom, not less. Jamie still works to the schedule because it protects the car, but there is more room to prioritise what actually needs doing at that interval rather than replacing items purely because a book says so.
Yes, as long as there is safe space to work and the site allows it. Plenty of Jamie's servicing happens in workplace car parks while the owner is inside working. Mention it when you book so he can check the access.
It depends on the interval your car is due for. A minor service is a short job, a major one with extra items takes longer. Jamie gives you a realistic window when he quotes, so you are not guessing whether the car is free by lunchtime.
