Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is included in a routine car service at The Inspection Bay in Clayton?
Our standard car service covers replacing engine oil and filter, checking all key fluid levels, inspecting brakes, tyres, steering, and suspension, conducting a battery health check, and performing a safety road test. We also inspect air and cabin filters according to your vehicle’s service schedule.
Will getting my car serviced at your workshop void my new car manufacturer warranty?
No, servicing your vehicle with us will not void your new car manufacturer warranty. Australian Consumer Law guarantees your right to choose an independent qualified workshop. As an accredited service centre, we follow official manufacturer logbook guidelines, use high-quality approved parts, and stamp your logbook to keep your statutory warranty 100% intact.

As a general rule, vehicles should be serviced every 6 months or 10,000 km (whichever comes first), or according to your vehicle’s specific logbook schedule.
