Repair work, quoted before starting

Quick drop off. Told what needed doing and how much before the work commenced which was very appreciated. Car ready on time. Great service and car runs like a dream. Thanks guys.

Roadworthy and repairs, Landcruiser

Provided a RWC and repairs for my Landcruiser. Gave me several cost options and were excellent in communication. Unfortunately there was an issue which was outside their control, that I picked up later, however they went above and beyond to resolve it... just outstanding customer service. VERY honest business that you can trust.

Mill Park's roads

Plenty Road

Through Mill Park and South Morang it's a dual carriageway with an 80 km/h limit, upgraded in August 2021. Closer to the M80 at Bundoora it carries upwards of 60,000 vehicles a day.

The M80

The ring road runs 38.3 km from Laverton North to the Greensborough Bypass. End to end takes about 25 minutes outside peak, and 30 to 45 minutes in it.

An old racetrack

Mill Park Drive is a big oval ring that was once a horse racing track. The shops are spread between Mill Park Plaza on Plenty Road, the Stables on Childs Road and the Plenty Valley centre on McDonalds Road.

The northern edge

The Mernda line marks Mill Park's far northern boundary, and RMIT's Bundoora East campus sits inside the suburb.

Working out which service is due

  1. Find the book

    The service book, or the sticker on the windscreen, shows the last service and when the next is due, by date and by kilometres.

  2. Read the odometer

    If most of the car's driving is Plenty Road and the ring road, the kilometres will usually arrive before the date.

  3. Know the general rule

    RACV's rule of thumb is a minor service every 10,000 km to 15,000 km or 12 months, and a major one generally every 30,000 to 45,000 km. Your maker's schedule still comes first.

  4. Send it through

    Put the service that's due and the kilometres in the card, with the make and model, and the job goes to a nearby mechanic who handles that car.

What we'd do

For a commuter car in Mill Park, we'd go by the odometer, not the calendar, and ask the mechanic to check tyre wear and wheel alignment at every service. Ring-road kilometres are gentle on a car, but they add up quickly.

Questions people ask

Is a logbook service in Mill Park any different from one at the dealer?

It follows the same schedule from your service book. If an independent mechanic does it to the maker's schedule and specifications, that alone won't void your new car warranty.

Which postcode do I give for Mill Park?

3082. If the car is at work or broken down somewhere else, use the postcode where it is.
