Why is a Logbook Service Important?
Think of your car’s logbook as its health record. Keeping it up to date isn’t just about ticking boxes, it’s about protecting your warranty, performance, and making sure your vehicle lasts longer. A logbook service is also known as a handbook service. Regular logbook servicing helps catch the smaller issues before they turn into wallet-draining disasters. Plus, when it comes time to sell, a stamped logbook shows your car has been properly cared for and that can add to its resale value.

How is a Logbook Service Different from a Basic Service?

Basic Service Includes:
- Everything in a logbook service, plus…
- Basic service and checks based on your car’s make, model, and mileage
- Replacement of parts as required by manufacturer schedule (e.g. air filter, spark plugs, timing belt)
- Detailed inspection of engine, steering, suspension, and drivetrain
How Much Does a Logbook Service Cost?
A logbook service is a smart investment in your car’s long-term health, and it’s priced fairly.
Things that can affect the cost:
- Your car’s make and model
- How many kilometres it’s clocked
- The type of parts required
- Any extra fixes recommended during the service

Vehicle Maintenance Logbook: Terms & Conditions
A general service may not qualify for logbook verification. At Midas, we only stamp your vehicle logbook when the service has been carried out or supervised by qualified staff, following the manufacturer’s exact specifications. We use parts, oils, and fluids that meet or exceed the original standards, so your car gets the right care every time. Some manufacturers now require online service verification and restrict access to non-dealer repairers. In those cases, while we can’t update the record online, we’ll provide full documentation of the work performed for your records.
