Trust Midas for reliable car maintenance service and inspection in Australia. Get in touch with our friendly team, and we’ll help you find an option that suits your budget and needs. In addition to a more comprehensive service, we also offer basic vehicle inspection. Make an online booking or search for the nearest Midas store in your local area.

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 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.

FAQs

How often should I book a full service for my car? 

It’s recommended to get full service at least every six months to ensure that your car stays in good condition. However, you can also choose to service your car once a year. 

What do I do if a problem with my car persists? 

Sometimes a standard inspection isn’t sufficient to identify more serious issues. If you experience a persistent problem with your car, we recommend booking a comprehensive service. Our mechanics will inspect your vehicle, diagnose the issue, and determine the best solution for you. 

What’s the difference between a basic and full car service? 

A basic service only covers the main systems and parts of your car. On the other hand, a full service provides a thorough inspection of your car, which is more effective in identifying complex issues with your vehicle.
