A roadworthy inspection is designed to check that your motorcycle meets the required safety standards for use on the road. It is not the same as a full mechanical service, but it can identify safety-related items that need attention before a certificate can be issued. When do you need a motorcycle roadworthy certificate? A motorcycle roadworthy certificate is commonly required when: Selling a registered motorcycle Transferring motorcycle registration into a new owner’s name Re-registering a motorcycle Registering an interstate motorcycle in Victoria Responding to a defect notice Requirements can vary depending on your situation, so it is always worth checking the current requirements before booking. What is checked during a motorcycle roadworthy inspection? During a motorcycle roadworthy inspection, our qualified technicians inspect key safety-related areas of the bike. This can include: Brakes and brake components Tyres, wheels and wheel bearings Steering, suspension and handlebars Lights, indicators, reflectors and horn Mirrors Chain, sprockets and final drive components Frame and structural condition Exhaust system General roadworthiness and safety items If your motorcycle meets the relevant requirements, we can issue the roadworthy certificate. If repairs are required, we will explain what needs to be addressed so you can organise the necessary work before a reinspection.

Motorcycle Roadworthy Certificates in Drysdale: What You Need to Know

Keeping up with your Log Book schedule helps to maintain your statutory rights to a new car warranty. But Drysdale Motors don't have to have an actual physical log book in order to do a Log Book Service - it just means we follow the manufacturers guidelines. We can certainly provide you with a log book to help you record your cars service history from that point onward, which will be a definite benefit if you ever decide to sell your vehicle. We can perform fully qualified log book servicing on a wide range of makes and models including: Holden, Ford, Mazda, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Audi, Hyundai, Honda, Kia - and many more. Many people believe they must go back to a car dealership for New Car Log Book servicing in order to maintain the warranty. Actually, the ACCC have consistently confirmed that under Australian Law, you are free to have your car service carried out by a mechanic or service centre of your choice provided they are qualified to do so. See our video to learn more.  Have more questions about your logbook service? What is a log book service? A log book service is a scheduled vehicle service carried out according to the specifications set by your vehicle manufacturer. Your log book outlines which inspections, adjustments and replacements are required at particular kilometre or time intervals. Following this schedule helps keep your vehicle properly maintained and allows potential problems to be identified before they develop into more serious repairs. Do I have to take my car back to the dealership for log book servicing? No. You can choose an independent qualified mechanic to service your vehicle. Your vehicle does not automatically have to return to the dealership where it was purchased for routine servicing. At Drysdale Motors, our qualified technicians can perform log book servicing according to the manufacturer's specifications using appropriate quality parts, fluids and lubricants. Will servicing my new car at Drysdale Motors affect my warranty? Having routine servicing performed by an independent repairer does not, by itself, void your manufacturer's warranty. The service needs to be performed correctly and in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements. Drysdale Motors provides log book and new car servicing in accordance with manufacturer specifications, helping you properly maintain your vehicle throughout its warranty period. Can Drysdale Motors stamp my log book? Yes. Once your scheduled log book service has been completed, we can update and stamp your vehicle's log book as a record of the work performed. Keeping accurate service records is important for maintaining your vehicle's service history and can also be useful when it comes time to sell or trade in your car. How often does my car need a log book service? Service intervals vary depending on the make, model, engine and manufacturer. Many vehicles have servicing requirements based on a particular number of kilometres or months – whichever comes first. Check your vehicle's log book for the recommended schedule, or speak with the team at  Drysdale Motors and we can help determine when your next service is due. What happens during a log book service? The exact work depends on your vehicle and its scheduled service interval. A log book service may include checking or replacing engine oil and filters, inspecting brakes, tyres, steering and suspension, checking fluid levels and inspecting other important mechanical and safety components. We follow the relevant manufacturer's service schedule rather than treating every vehicle exactly the same. Can you service all makes and models? Drysdale Motors services a wide range of vehicle makes and models, from everyday passenger cars and 4WDs through to European and luxury vehicles. Our team has experience servicing brands including Toyota, Ford, Holden, Mazda, Honda, BMW and many more. Can you service European vehicles? Yes. Drysdale Motors specialises in European and luxury vehicle servicing in Drysdale. Our workshop has the equipment, technical information and experience required to service a wide range of European vehicles, including BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Volvo, Peugeot and more. What happens if you find another problem during my service? A scheduled service is also a valuable opportunity to identify wear or developing mechanical problems. If our technicians find an issue requiring additional attention, we can explain what has been found and discuss the recommended repairs with you. Why shouldn't I skip a log book service? Delaying scheduled servicing can allow relatively minor problems to become larger and more expensive. Old engine oil, worn components, contaminated filters and low fluid levels can all affect your vehicle's performance and reliability. Following the recommended service schedule can also help maintain a complete service history and support your vehicle's resale value. Can I book my log book service in Drysdale? Absolutely. Drysdale Motors is conveniently located at 44 Murradoc Road, Drysdale VIC 3222, providing professional car servicing for drivers throughout Drysdale and the Bellarine Peninsula. If your next scheduled service is approaching, book your log book service with Drysdale Motors today and let our experienced team help keep your vehicle performing at its best.

Keeping up with your Log Book schedule helps to maintain your statutory rights to a new car warranty but what do you do if you have lost your log book?

Great Decision, Great Apprentice Initially, Noel Harper of Drysdale Motorswas not convinced that hosting an Australian School-based Apprentice was a good idea. “I didn't think it would work, having someone for ten weeks a year. I thought it would be a bit of an interruption, but it hasn't turned out that way at all, its worked really well.” said Noel. Noel explains that his decision resulted from the skill shortage facing the industry and his social responsibility. “I felt that I should make the effort to train young guys. The industry is suffering terribly from a lack of skilled mechanics. Everyone needs to train someone,” said Noel. The decision was a great one for Noel, who commends his Australian School-based Apprentice, Alan, for his commitment, eagerness to learn and outstanding motivation. By Noels admission, the Australian Technical College (ATC) Geelong is a great way for parents to get their kids into a career path earlier. As to whether Alan is learning the right things at school, Noel said, “The College appears to be doing a great job, but someone like Alan is always going to do well. He knows exactly what he wants to do and he's doing it well.” Regional Industry Career Adviser Maria Zaluski for Regional Networker on June 2008

Engines that operate through internal combustion rely on large amounts of clean air to ensure the fuel burns properly and generates the power needed to drive the vehicle. At Drysdale Motors in Drysdale, we understand how vital it is to keep your car's air filter in good condition as part of protecting your engine's health. Your engine requires extremely clean air to function efficiently. Dirt, dust, and other particles entering the engine can cause serious damage. That’s where the air filter comes into play. It ensures the air entering the combustion chambers is clean, shielding key engine components such as the pistons and cylinders from wear and damage. Why Replace Your Air Filter? Save on Fuel Costs: Your engine requires the correct balance of fuel and air to run efficiently. A clogged air filter restricts airflow, causing your engine to run inefficiently – often referred to as ‘running rich.’ This not only puts additional stress on your engine but can also increase fuel consumption by up to 10%. No one likes spending more on petrol than necessary!   Protect Your Engine: Over time, air filters become clogged and weaker, increasing the risk of damage. A damaged or overly dirty air filter can allow harmful particles to enter the engine, potentially leading to expensive repairs.   Benefits of Replacing Your Air Filter: Extends the life of your engine Improves fuel efficiency Reduces vehicle emissions At Drysdale Motors, we always check the condition of your air filter during every full car service. Whether it’s a major or minor service, or one that follows your manufacturer’s handbook or logbook guidelines, you can trust us to keep your engine running smoothly.

Keep your engine healthy with clean air filters. Improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and extend engine life. Visit Drysdale Motors for expert maintenance and reliable car servicing.
