4WD Servicing from Golden Plains Mechanical: Everything You Need to Know

For many car owners, getting their vehicle serviced is often a tedious chore. However, car servicing is a crucial part of vehicle ownership and maintenance. It ensures your vehicle is operating optimally and safely. Moreover, regular car servicing prevents costly repairs and prolongs the lifespan of your vehicle. The importance of car servicing is even more vital for those who own a four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicle. 

4WD vehicles are more complicated and rugged than regular cars, which means that servicing them is a specialised task that requires a technician with experience in this area. 4WD cars have a complex transmission system that distributes power to all four wheels. Additionally, the chassis, suspension, and steering of 4WD cars are designed to handle the demands of off-road driving. 

Difference between Regular Car Service and 4WD Service

Therefore, when you take your 4WD vehicle for a service, you should always look for a mechanic with specific 4WD servicing experience and training. The mechanic will check your car's oil levels, fluids, brakes, air filters, and perform a range of tests and inspections that are specific to 4WD vehicles.

Regular car servicing is essential for all types of vehicles, including 4WDs. It is crucial for owners to keep up with their vehicle's scheduled servicing to ensure their safety, prevent breakdowns, and to avoid the need for costly repairs. 

Importance of Regular Car Servicing, Especially If You Go on Long Trips or 4WD Trips

When you take your 4WD on a long trip or an off-road adventure, you are putting more strain on the vehicle, which means that servicing becomes even more critical. By getting your 4WD serviced before and after any trips, you are giving your vehicle the best chance to stay in top condition, protecting your investment and, most importantly, you and your passengers' safety.

Golden Plains Mechanical is a Repco Authorised Service center, which means they offer the Repco Nationwide Warranty. This warranty provides peace of mind to all vehicle owners, knowing that any issues arising from the servicing will be addressed by the Repco Nationwide Warranty. This warranty ensures that your 4WD will always be covered no matter where you are in the country.

Servicing your 4WD vehicle is critical for its maintenance, longevity, and most importantly, your safety. At Golden Plains Mechanical, we have the expertise and experience in 4WD servicing to keep your vehicle running at its best.

Log Book Servicing is a proactive approach to car maintenance where regular inspections and small fixes keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently to prevent small problems turning into major damage and issues which could otherwise be very costly to repair.

Every passenger car (and most commercials vehicles) should be issued with a “Log Book” by the manufacturer, which lays out the specified timing and agenda for your regular log book services. You should keep your log book in your glove box for reference and recording any details, but Golden Plains Mechanical can also refer to our database to get the required information if you've misplaced your book.

The schedule of the service will be a combination of both time or distance.

You may be tempted to delay your next log book service because your car is probably still driveable and it may not have reached BOTH the time and distance measures. While you obviously need to find availability in your budget and schedule, don't delay too long because wear and tear on the car will increase exponentially and could lead to damage which is many times more expensive than the log book service would have been.

Every car is different and the agenda for each service changes according to the schedule, which is why each vehicle is issued with a log book.

Here are some examples of what can be included:
