Want to book your car in for a service and inspection? Get in touch with the friendly team at Midas. We pride ourselves on great customer service and we always deliver the best results. The cost of an essential service starts at $199 and we’re more than happy to discuss our wide range of options. 

Book online or search for your nearest store. Our services are available Australia-wide, so whether you’re in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth or anywhere else, we’re always available to help.

Please Note: The Midas Essential and Extensive Services do not replace a Manufacturer’s Handbook Service; however, it may be all that is needed, especially as your vehicle gets older or when you want the assurance of extra care.

* Synthetic Oils may incur additional costs.  Our inspection of your vehicle may reveal the need for extra work. We will provide a quotation for any additional work or parts that your vehicle may require or that we may suggest for safe and reliable motoring.

We may also recommend other items including an engine flush treatment to maximise the effectiveness of your oil change, as well as a fuel treatment to help clean the fuel system and improve performance and economy.

However, nothing will be added without contacting you first, explaining the need and gaining your approval.

FAQ

Yes, we always take the time to walk customers through exactly what will be done to their car during a service. This is to ensure you understand what we do and why we do it. If you have any questions or concerns, you can always speak to one of our friendly team members. 

Most relatively new vehicles should be serviced every six months, or 10,000km (whichever comes first). Keep in mind, however, if you drive an older car, or you drive in harsh conditions, it is recommended that you have it serviced every three months or 5,000km. 

Regular servicing by a qualified team such as Midas is a great way to keep your car running like a dream. However, if a problem or issue arises and doesn’t go away, a thorough inspection followed by necessary repairs may be required. We always advise customers as to the best course of action based on the condition of their vehicle.
