Protect Your Warranty With Independent Expertise
Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL), you have the right to have your new vehicle serviced by an independent qualified mechanic of your choice without voiding your statutory warranty.
At Cartek Mechanical Repairs, we strictly adhere to manufacturer service schedules for all Japanese, European, American, Korean, and Australian vehicles. Every service is logged, stamped, and carried out with exact oil viscosities and OEM-grade replacement filters.

Minor vs. Major Vehicle Servicing
Whether your vehicle is due for a minor routine service (every 10,000 to 15,000 km or 6 months) or a major milestone inspection (40,000 km, 80,000 km, or 100,000 km), Shane and the team ensure nothing is overlooked. If we discover any worn items such as belts or brake pads, we always telephone you first with clear advice and an upfront quote before undertaking any additional work.
Will Cartek Void My New Car Warranty?
No, absolutely not. As qualified mechanics using manufacturer-compliant parts and fluids, your statutory warranty remains 100% intact by law. You receive genuine dealership-level servicing with local, friendly, personalized service.
