Logbook Service and new vehicle warranty
Logbook servicing is essential for maintaining manufacturer warranty compliance and vehicle reliability. That servicing doesn’t have to happen at a dealership. Under Australian Consumer Law, a manufacturer cannot void your warranty for having your car serviced elsewhere, provided the work uses genuine OEM-equivalent parts and follows the manufacturer’s schedule, which is exactly how Pace operates.
All vehicles receive full inspections as safety is paramount. The facility uses genuine parts or OEM-equivalent lubricants and engine oils, and every service comes with a 12-month unconditional guarantee on parts and workmanship.
This is general information, not legal advice. If you want to check the specifics for your vehicle, your warranty booklet or the manufacturer’s Australian customer line will confirm the exact terms.
Vehicle Servicing and Inspections
We understand that your vehicle is an integral and essential part of your lifestyle and needs to be maintained to ensure its safety and optimal performance.
That’s why, when getting your car serviced at Pace Auto Werks, you can rest assured that our experienced, qualified and friendly team of technicians will provide you with a service in accordance with the vehicle’s manufacturer specifications.
Each vehicle as it presents to us, year after year, will have varying items requiring attention that will be identified within the inspection. This is commonly referred to as Condition Based Servicing (CBS). Rest assured your vehicle will be serviced with reference to its service history and each logbook service will be tailored to your vehicle’s current and specific requirements.
Depending on where your vehicle sits in its service cycle, that typically includes:
- Oil and filter change, using genuine or OEM-equivalent oil matched to your manufacturer’s specification
- Fluid top-ups and checks across coolant, brake fluid, power steering and washer systems
- Belt and hose inspection, with replacement scheduled to your manufacturer’s interval
- A full 150-point safety inspection on every visit, whether it’s on the logbook or not
- Autologic diagnostic scanning, the technology used to communicate properly with BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche and Mini electronics

Frequently Asked questions
Does Servicing At An Independent Mechanic Void My New Car Warranty?
No. Under Australian Consumer Law, a manufacturer cannot void your warranty for having your car serviced outside its dealer network, as long as genuine or OEM-equivalent parts are used and the manufacturer’s service schedule is followed. Pace Auto Werks services to manufacturer spec using genuine or OEM parts, so your warranty stays valid. This is general guidance, not legal advice, check your vehicle’s warranty booklet for the exact terms.
How Much Does A Logbook Service Cost?
Cost depends on your vehicle’s make, model and where it sits in its service interval, a minor service costs less than a major one with belts or fluids due. We quote before any works starts, so you know the exact cost before we touch your car.
How Often Should I Service My BMW, Mercedes-Benz Or Audi?
Most late-model German cars use Condition Based Servicing (CBS), which calculates your next service from how the car is actually driven, not just a fixed date. Your dash display will show a countdown, commonly landing around every 12 months of 25,000 kilometres, though CBS can bring that forward if your driving conditions call for it. We check your CBS data as part of every visit so you’re never guessing.
