How often should I service my diesel or 4WD in Canberra?

Most diesel and 4WD vehicles should be serviced every 10,000–15,000km or 6–12 months, depending on the manufacturer. If you tow, do short trips, or drive dusty/regional roads around the ACT, servicing closer to 10,000km is usually smarter.

What is included in a diesel & 4WD service?

A proper diesel & 4WD service typically includes engine oil + filter, safety inspection, fluid checks/top-ups, battery and charging check, tyre/brake inspection, and a general underbody check. For many 4WDs, we also recommend checking diffs, transfer case, and gearbox fluids based on your use (towing/off-road).

How much does a diesel or 4WD service cost?

Pricing depends on your vehicle, oil capacity, and what filters/fluids are required. As a guide, a basic service often starts from $250–$450, while a more comprehensive 4WD service (including additional driveline fluids) can be $450–$900+. We provide an upfront quote before any work starts.

Do you service diesel fuel systems, DPF and EGR problems?

Yes. If your diesel has warning lights, limp mode, poor fuel economy, excess smoke, or rough running, we can diagnose common causes including DPF loading/regeneration issues, EGR faults, boost leaks, sensors, and fuel delivery problems. We’ll confirm the fault with diagnostics and recommend the most cost-effective repair path.

Can you service my 4WD before a trip or towing a caravan?

Definitely. A pre-trip or towing check usually focuses on cooling system, belts/hoses, battery/charging, brakes, tyres, wheel bearings, suspension, and leaks. For towing or off-road use, we’ll also check diff/transfer case fluids and advise on any high-risk items before you hit the road.
