OUR SECRET
What Do Our Customers Say
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How often should I get my car serviced?
Most vehicles should be serviced every 10,000–15,000 km or every 6–12 months — whichever comes first. However, the exact interval depends on your vehicle’s make, model, and the type of driving you do. Vehicles used frequently in stop-start urban driving (like most Melbourne cars) or driven in dusty or hot conditions may need more frequent servicing. Check your owner’s manual for your specific schedule, or call us and we’ll advise you based on your car.
What is included in a car service at Albert Street Automotive?
Our general car service includes an engine oil and filter change, brake system inspection, tyre condition and pressure check, battery health test, fluid level top-ups (coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, windscreen washer), steering and suspension check, exhaust inspection, lights check, and a full vehicle safety walkover. We use diagnostic scanning equipment to check for any stored fault codes in your car’s computer. After the service, we provide you with a clear report on the vehicle’s condition and flag anything that may need attention soon.
How much does a car service cost in Preston?
Our Essential Service starts from $150 for most popular vehicles — this includes a premium engine oil and filter change plus a detailed vehicle inspection. The final cost depends on your vehicle’s oil type and capacity, the service interval items due, and any additional repairs required. We always call you with a quote before proceeding with any extra work, so there are never any surprise charges. Call us on (03) 9470 1052 or book online for a tailored estimate.
Do you service all car makes and models?
Yes — we service all makes and models including petrol, diesel, and hybrid vehicles. Common vehicles we see include Toyota, Mazda, Hyundai, Kia, Ford, Holden, Subaru, Honda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, and Mercedes-Benz. We also service 4WDs, utes, and light commercial vehicles. If you’re unsure whether we can service your vehicle, just give us a call.
Can I wait at the workshop while my car is serviced?
For shorter services, yes — we have a comfortable waiting area. For more involved services or repairs, most customers prefer to drop their car off in the morning and collect it in the afternoon. We’ll call you as soon as the car is ready. We’re also happy to arrange a same-day pickup time that suits your schedule.
