Car Servicing - Ringwood

A car service checks the condition of key components, tops up or replaces fluids, and picks up on any wear before it becomes a bigger problem. At FitnFix Auto, we service all makes and models, including electric and hybrid vehicles, using main dealer parts for cars still under warranty and OEM or OE equivalent parts once that warranty period has passed.

How Often Should You Get Your Car Serviced?

Most manufacturers recommend a service once a year or every 10,000 to 12,000 miles, whichever comes first, though this varies by make and model. If your car is still within its warranty period, we’ll follow the manufacturer’s exact schedule to keep that cover intact. Once the warranty has ended, we offer more flexible options based on how you use your car.

Will Servicing Away From a Main Dealer Affect My Warranty?

No, provided the work is carried out to the manufacturer’s specification using the correct parts and intervals, which is exactly how we approach every service. Under the Block Exemption Regulation, you’re free to choose an independent garage without invalidating your warranty. We keep full digital service records and use main dealer parts where required, so there’s a clear history if you ever need to show it.

Our Servicing Options

Once your car is out of warranty, you can choose from three levels of cover, depending on your budget and how much you’re looking to have checked:

• Bronze – covers the essentials, including oil and filter changes and a general safety check
• Silver – a more thorough service covering additional components and fluids
• Gold – our most comprehensive option, ideal for cars covering higher mileages or approaching a major service interval

Every service comes with a 12 month or 12,000 mile labour guarantee, whichever service level you choose.

What Happens During a Service?

Our technicians work through a detailed checklist covering the engine, brakes, steering, suspension, tyres, and all essential fluid levels. If we spot anything that needs attention, we’ll explain it clearly, including whether it’s urgent or something to keep an eye on. We won’t carry out any extra work without talking it through with you first.
