Choosing a mechanic

Licensed repairers

In NSW, a business that repairs motor vehicles must hold a motor vehicle repairer licence, and the people doing the work need a tradesperson certificate for that class of repair, such as motor mechanic or automotive electrician.

Logbook servicing and warranty

Under Australian Consumer Law, you can generally have your new car serviced by an independent mechanic without voiding the manufacturer’s warranty, as long as the service follows the manufacturer’s schedule and uses suitable parts. Keep your logbook stamped.

Getting a fair quote

Ask for a quote up front and for the workshop to call you before doing any extra work. Ask about warranty on parts and labour.

Frequently asked questions

Generally no, provided the service follows the manufacturer’s schedule and uses suitable parts. Keep your logbook up to date.
