Why It Matters

Regular Servicing Keeps Small Problems Small

A car service is the routine maintenance that keeps your vehicle reliable, safe and economical — fresh oil and filters, healthy fluids, and a proper look over the brakes, tyres, suspension and battery before anything turns into a roadside breakdown. Oil breaks down, filters clog and belts stretch whether you notice it or not.

Your Local Garage brings all of that to your door. Jens services petrol, diesel, hybrid and EV vehicles, stamps your logbook, and tells you straight what's good and what's coming up — so a small service now saves the big repair later.

Common Questions

Car Service FAQs

A full service covers an engine oil and filter change, a check and top-up of all fluids (coolant, brake, power steering, washer), inspection of air and cabin filters, a brake check, battery and charging test, a look over tyres, suspension and steering, a diagnostic scan for stored fault codes, and a road test. Jens then gives you an honest report on anything that needs attention now or soon.

Most manufacturers recommend a service every 10,000 to 15,000 km or every 12 months, whichever comes first. If you do mostly short trips around Tauranga, servicing toward the lower end of that range is safer, because short trips don't let the engine reach full temperature and cause more wear.

No. In New Zealand you're free to choose who services your vehicle. As long as the logbook is stamped and the correct specification parts and oils are used to the manufacturer's schedule, a service by a qualified mechanic does not void a new-car warranty. Jens stamps your logbook and keeps records.
