Log Book Service vs General Car Service

Many drivers wonder what separates a log book service from a standard car service. The difference is simple but important:

Log Book Service

Follows the manufacturer’s official schedule and requirements, using approved parts and fluids, and keeps your warranty intact. Every service is recorded and stamped in your log book.

General Car Service

A routine maintenance check that usually covers the basics such as oil and filter replacement, fluid top-ups, full check over of the vehicle and safety checks. It helps keep older cars reliable but may not include every item required by your manufacturer.
