Coronavirus Update

Your safety and wellbeing is our top priority!

Update 16 September 2020

Stage 4 restrictions pertaining to logbook and scheduled vehicle servicing have been eased, after a long and collaborative discussion between VACC and the Victorian Government.

Any vehicle, be it for a permitted industry or a member of the public, can now have a routine service or scheduled service performed.

This advice is confirmed on the Business Victoria website, under Frequently Asked Questions:

Routine maintenance (i.e. logbook or scheduled maintenance) is permitted as a standalone service for safety purposes only, including for repairs and product recalls. Under the current guidance, automotive, machinery and equipment repair and maintenance are permitted to operate:

  • where service providers are providing support to a permitted service or industry or
  • where it is required to maintain the health and safety of Victorians at home or at work (e.g. routine maintenance, vehicle repairs and critical maintenance including disinfection).

See the VACC announcement for further details.

Choosing a Car Repair Workshop

Reception area

Ask Questions Related to your Vehicle’s Problem

First of all, the answer to finding a good mechanical workshop lies in what they can tell you. Therefore, you just need to ask a few questions.

Ask relevant questions such as:

  • What causes this specific type of problems?
  • What repairs do you need to perform?
  • Which specific parts do you need to replace?
  • What would happen if I let this problem continue?

Ask different auto repair shops about the specific problem that you are encountering and look for the one that gives you you a direct answer. Look for consistence and accuracy and you can trust these experts to take care of your vehicle.
