Vehicle manufacturers have done considerable research to develop their service schedules. As a result, they have developed individual guidelines for service schedules, which are considered the minimum service requirements for the applications the vehicle will be subject to in average use.

However, we often find this schedule is not sufficient for our local conditions. Our robust service systems will check the status of all service items on every service, combined with a safety check designed for the severe conditions of the outback.

Using the manufacturer’s information as a guide, we apply what is factual and service as required, ensuring your asset is fit for use.

In our experience over the last 30+ years, more frequent servicing and repairs are required after only a few hundred or thousand kilometres since the last service. For instance, brake pads and discs can last up to 80,000klms but wear out in as little as 2,000 kilometres after rainfall. Metal fatigue due to our extreme road conditions can create breakages in vehicles even at 20,000klms. These vehicles would not remain safe if serviced only as per the manufacturer’s guidelines. We at Country Diesel Maintenance, have years of experience maintaining vehicles in our harsh conditions.

Personal contact with you, the owner, is essential for us to ascertain what level of servicing your vehicle requires to be kept safe and reliable. Knowing this, we offer a text and phone app to improve our customer service.
