At John Hughes, we carry out log book servicing that protects your warranty and keeps your car running the way it should.
Our qualified technicians follow the exact maintenance schedule recommended by your car’s manufacturer. Every service is completed using genuine parts, the right tools, and stamped in your log book for full compliance. You can book at any of our trusted service centres across Perth.

Why log book servicing matters
Log book servicing is a structured maintenance schedule designed by your vehicle’s manufacturer to keep your car running safely, efficiently, and under warranty.
Skipping these services or doing them incorrectly can impact your vehicle’s performance, long-term reliability, and resale value. At John Hughes, we follow every manufacturer requirement to the letter, using quality parts and up-to-date tools.
Log book servicing helps:
- Maintain your manufacturer’s warranty
- Protect resale value with a fully stamped log book
- Keep your car running smoothly and safely
- Catch small issues before they become costly
- Ensure all components are checked and replaced at the right intervals
Not sure if your car is due for a log book service?
Here are some common signs to look out for (and why they matter).
01
You’ve reached a specific kilometre or time interval
Most vehicles require servicing every 15,000km or 12 months, whichever comes first. Service intervals can vary by manufacturer and model, so it’s best to check your vehicle’s recommended service schedule to make sure you stay on track.
02
Your service reminder light is on
Modern vehicles will remind you when a scheduled service is due. If the light’s on, it’s time to get it booked in.
03
You’re experiencing small performance changes
Rough idling, slower acceleration, or unusual noises can all indicate that key parts or fluids are due for replacement.
04
You’ve just bought a used car privately
It’s smart to start fresh with a proper log book service, even if the previous owner says it was recently done. This gives you a clear record moving forward.
05
You want to keep your warranty valid
Log book servicing is the only way to ensure your new car warranty stays intact, as long as it’s completed by qualified technicians using approved parts.
