FAQs
Before you book
Quick answers to the questions we hear most.
Can I book if I don't know what's wrong?
Yes. Describe the symptoms in the service note or call us to discuss the appropriate assessment. Avoid selecting a replacement part solely on the basis of a warning light.
Is an oil service the same as a logbook service?
A logbook service follows the maintenance tasks due for your vehicle. An oil and filter service has a narrower scope. The correct choice depends on the manufacturer's schedule and what work is due.
Does a regas fix an air-conditioning fault?
Regassing doesn't repair a leak or replace a failed component. The system needs assessment to establish which work is appropriate.
Where is the workshop?
Excel Auto Care is at 1/40 Strong Avenue, Thomastown VIC 3074, in Melbourne's northern suburbs.
