Why Our Services Take Two Hours?

Ever wondered why some services take 30 minutes while ours can take around two hours?

Because we're not just changing the oil and sending you on your way.

A proper service gives our team time to inspect your vehicle and identify potential safety or maintenance issues.

And while we work on your car, we can provide a free loan car.

A diagnostic scan can provide useful information, but it is not always the complete answer. A qualified mechanic may need to look at the symptoms, inspect the vehicle, run further tests and use their experience to work out what is actually causing the problem.

Good diagnosis is about finding the cause, not simply replacing the part connected to a fault code.

Have a vehicle that needs diagnosing? Call GMG Automotive on 03 9899 3444.

Mechanic or L**e: What Is the Difference?

Not every “service” is the same.

A quick oil change and a proper mechanical service are two very different things.

A real mechanic looks beyond the oil and filters to check the condition, safety and operation of your vehicle.

A warning light on your dashboard is your car's way of telling you that something needs attention. Some warnings may be minor, while others can indicate an issue that needs to be checked promptly.

If a warning light appears and you are unsure what it means, getting it checked can help prevent a small issue from becoming a bigger repair.

Is It Actually Cheaper Than the Dealer?

When the Dealer Refuses Your Warranty Claim

What happens if a dealer refuses to honour your warranty because you've had your car serviced by an independent mechanic?

Don't assume that's the end of the story.

There are rules around new car warranties and independent servicing, and it's important to understand your rights.

If you're in this situation, come and talk to GMG first. Call 03 9899 3444.

Genuine Parts and Your Warranty

Does keeping your warranty mean you have to use the dealer?

Not necessarily.

What matters is that your vehicle is serviced correctly and that the appropriate parts and specifications are used.

In this Reel, we break down what you actually need to know about genuine parts and your warranty.

What Is a Log Book Service, Exactly?

“Just a log book service.”

But what does that actually mean?

A proper log book service follows the manufacturer’s recommended servicing schedule and checks the items your vehicle needs at that particular interval.

It is about more than simply changing the oil.

Due for your next log book service? Book online at gmgautomotive.com.au or call 03 9899 3444.
