Log book servicing that keeps your warranty valid
You don't need to go back to the dealer to keep your new-car warranty. Under Australian Consumer Law, an independent workshop can do your log book service. The warranty stays valid as long as the work follows the manufacturer's schedule and uses parts and oils of the right specification. That's exactly how we service every European car, and we stamp your log book every time.
Why European owners choose Mills Thom
- Diagnostics for European cars. [CONFIRM: name the scan tools or software, e.g. "factory-level diagnostic software for VW Group, BMW and Mercedes-Benz"]. We read the same fault codes the dealer does, so we find the problem rather than guess.
- The right oils and parts. European engines need oils approved by the manufacturer (for example VW 504/507 or BMW Longlife). We match the exact specification for your car.
- Experienced technicians. Our team has more than 20 years experience with European cars
- Up-front quotes. We call you before doing any work that wasn't in your booking.

FAQ
Will servicing my car at Mills Thom void my new-car warranty?
No. As long as the service follows the manufacturer's log book schedule with parts of the right specification, your warranty stays valid. We stamp your log book at every service.
Can you service my VW, Audi or BMW as well as the dealer?
Yes. We follow the same manufacturer service schedules and use European diagnostic equipment and approved oils and parts.
How long does a European car service take?
Most log book services are done the same day. Drop your car off in the morning and we'll call you when it's ready.
Do you do pink and blue slips for European cars? Yes
Yes. We're an authorised inspection station for pink slips (safety checks) and blue slips (AUVIS inspections) on all makes.
